222 Exhibition Street

222 Exhibition Street is a 26-story office building in Melbourne with a glass facade and distinctive corner towers separated by recessed balcony elements. The structure houses numerous parking spaces and bike racks while maintaining a striking visual presence on the streetscape.

Denton Corker Marshall designed and constructed this postmodern building between 1986 and 1988 as a major addition to Melbourne's central business district. The project earned recognition for introducing innovative structural solutions that influenced commercial architecture development in the city.

The building received recognition through the RAIA Merit Award in 1989, marking its contribution to Australian commercial architecture design principles.

The building offers easy access via Parliament Station and nearby Bourke Street tram stops for public transport connections. Visitors will find ample parking spaces and bike racks with repair facilities on the premises.

Four slender towers rest on a cruciform steel framework that creates an optical division of mass through reflective glass surfaces. This reflective quality cleverly conceals the actual floor levels, giving the building a hovering visual effect.
