Melbourne Buildings

Melton, now officially a city and part of Greater Melbourne has a new $20 million library. Designed by  Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp (FJMT) architects and constructed by ADCO constructions, it takes the spirit of post-war stripped classical architecture popularised by government buildings in Canberra and Dallas Brooks Hall in Melbourne and gives it the timber and curtain wall treatment.  The building gives it the presence of a large institutional landmark. Opened in July, 2013¹ it makes a very bold expression for a growing city.
