Kings Apartments, Toorak

This development contains some of Toorak’s largest and most valuable apartments. The design is inspired by the classic apartment buildings of the 1920s and 1930s, with clear references to the design language of Walter Burley Griffin. The building is constructed in precast concrete, but great attention to detail elimininated the prominence of construction joints to create a building that has the solid appearance of in situ concrete construction. The interiors are elaborately detailed, using a combination of materials including French limestone, Silky Oak and White Birch joinery timbers and European oak parquetry floors. A wet edge indoor pool is a special feature of the building. The acoustic design of the façade sets new standards, using European windows, double glazed using a total glass thickness of nearly 17mm, combined with special seals and multipoint locks. The result is that traffic passing the building is seen, but not heard.

IBCV required a new facility accommodating main meditation hall, administrative and class room spaces and a ground level café and bookshop. The simple closed form of the building provides for an axial entry point between two robust façade piers, leading to a protected and tranquil interior subtly lit by a light court with green wall to the western boundary, also shaded by adjustable louvres. The Hall is lit from above, maintaining a visual connection to the sky while providing an appropriate focus on the main altar area.
