Collins Square, Commercial complex in Melbourne, Australia
Collins Square is a modern office complex in Melbourne's business district, built around five towers and a restored historic goods shed from the industrial era. The entire site spans a large area and blends contemporary office space with a preserved piece of industrial architecture.
The complex was developed in response to growing demand for modern office space in Melbourne and was completed in the late 2010s. Reusing the historic goods shed was part of a broader effort to integrate industrial structures into the city's contemporary landscape.
Australian artists have created installations throughout the complex that catch your eye as you move through the offices and shared spaces. These artworks give the functional building a human touch and invite people to pause and observe.
The complex is designed with sustainability in mind, using systems like rainwater harvesting and solar panels to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. Visitors will notice the buildings are built to modern environmental standards and offer various publicly accessible areas.
The five towers were not all planned at once but developed over multiple construction phases, making their sizes and designs slightly varied. This gradual development gives the site a certain diversity that is not immediately obvious to first-time visitors.
