Lutetia is a prestige 5 apartment triple storey building that tries its best to revive the Tudor style in the 21st Century combining historical styles with modern living. While there has been no shortage of revivals of this style since its origins the 15th Century and the postmodern era, most would be classified as being pastiche, included in that category are many other recent mansions near to Toorak. This effort, while not historically accurate (the eclectic composition includes classical features) it is quite remarkable in its attention to detail.

The Advanced Technologies Centre was completed in early 2011 and was developed at a cost of $140 million.1
The building’s most interesting feature is its giant “spotted” concrete facade of its twin 10 storey towers which are dotted with portholes laid out in a geometrical pattern like an old fashioned dot matrix printer and its dominating three storey transparent glass street level podium which stands begging for attention in largely Victorian era streetscape.
