Grosvenor Chambers, Artists studios in Collins Street, Melbourne, Australia.
The neoclassical building features three large arched windows on the first floor and incorporates Stawell freestone pilasters with cement-rendered facade elements.
Completed in 1888, Charles Stewart Paterson, an Edinburgh decorator, commissioned this structure as the first purpose-built artists studio complex in Australia.
Notable Australian artists including Tom Roberts, Frederick McCubbin, and Emmanuel Phillips Fox maintained studios in this creative center during the late 19th century.
The upper floor contains five artist studios with skylights and tall windows positioned to maximize natural light for optimal working conditions.
The building merged with a modern office tower at 1 Collins Street, preserving elements that showcase the transition between Conservative Classical and Boom Style architecture.
