Melbourne Terrace Apartments

Melbourne Terrace Apartments.

Melbourne Terrace is a set of 60 apartments at the corner of Franklin and Queen Street, Melbourne.

The apartment complex, designed by architect Nonda Katsalidis, comprises four self-contained buildings, Equus, Mondo, Roma and Fortuna. This division creates a low population for each, ensuring moderate demands upon the building services and a high degree of privacy. At the entrance of each building is a signature sculpture by Peter Corlett.[1]

The building is listed as one of the Top 20 buildings in Australia of the 20th century by Architecture Australia in the December 1999 edition.[2] The building is also featured in Australian Architecture Now.[3]
