Premier Tower, Mixed-use skyscraper at Bourke and Spencer Streets, Melbourne, Australia.
Premier Tower is a mixed-use high-rise building located at Bourke and Spencer Streets in Melbourne, standing 246 meters tall with 78 floors. The tower combines residential apartments, hotel rooms, and shared facilities such as fitness centers across a unified structure.
The project was first proposed in 2015 as a 90-story structure reaching approximately 294 meters. The height was later reduced to address concerns about shadow effects on the nearby Yarra River.
The building's curved exterior was inspired by artistic movement and dance, a design choice you notice immediately when looking at it. This approach shows how architecture can draw ideas from popular culture and visual arts.
The location sits easily accessible between two main streets in central Melbourne, making it straightforward to find. The building extends below street level with multiple basement floors and public-facing amenity spaces that visitors can explore.
The building employs computational design methods to create a facade that manages both structural demands and wind conditions. This technical approach enables the distinctive curved form that makes the structure visually notable within Melbourne's skyline.
