International firm Benoy has unveiled Kavanagh Street, its competition proposal for a mixed-use tower development in Melbourne, Australia. Set back on the banks of the Yarra River in the Southbank precinct, Benoy’s design is a five-building set or a “family of towers” on a shared nine-story mixed-use podium, all of which would host 315,000 square meters of residential, hospitality, commercial and retail space. Bringing together corporate offices, lifestyle showrooms, premium high-rise living, a hotel, serviced apartments, shopping, dining, green spaces, facilities and public transportation; the concept creates a vertical urban community. In order to achieve flexibility and meet the changing market’s demands, the proposal additionally incorporates modularity. Each of the towers retains its own identity, and features sky gardens and winter gardens to create “a necklace of green vertical spaces which connect to the ground level landscape.”
