The Swanston Street / Little La Trobe Street corner is celebrated with a stack of double height metallic blocks which have been staggered as they rise, to counterpoint the uniformity of the remainder of the facades. The tonal changes and the highlighted corner allow the building to rest with quiet, assured confidence, in contrast to the strident flamboyance of much of the adjacent built form. At street level, the open timber framing of the podium reflects the low rise accommodation adjacent and strengthens the street wall.
