Domain Park Flats

Domain Park Flats is a 20-story residential tower in South Yarra with north-facing balconies offering views toward the Royal Botanic Gardens and Port Phillip Bay. Inside, apartments range from two to four bedrooms, served by two elevators arranged along an east-west floor plan.

Built between 1960 and 1962, the tower became Victoria's tallest apartment building when it opened. Its construction methods set new standards for how high-rise residential buildings could be erected in Australia.

The building shaped how people in Melbourne wanted to live, introducing open-plan layouts and outdoor spaces that made apartment living more appealing. Its design showed a new vision for how high-rise housing could work in a city.

The balconies offer the best views, especially in morning light when the Botanic Gardens are well-lit. Visitors should allow time to walk around the surrounding gardens and the bay area nearby.

Each apartment features custom-made walnut cabinetry built specifically for that unit. The construction pioneered slip forming technology in Australia, a technique that made building the towers much faster than traditional methods.
