Japan is known for many things: sushi, geishas, harajuku girls, and now as the inspiration for Fifty Albert Road, our new residential project located on St Kilda Road near the Domain Interchange. The building also reflects the leafy Albert Park location, linking culture, architecture and landscape to reflect the grand inner city green spaces.This building is in love with its location – its serpentine outline, which grows bigger towards the corners reflects the picturesque planning of the nearby Domain. The North wall balustrades twist from horizontal to vertical, making the building appear as if in motion and giving it virtual gills; the reptilian aspects are reflected in the white snakeskin surface. The gills also create high and low pressure zones to assist with breeze direction for the apartments, literally a building that breathes!But where were we? Japan, that’s right. The front plaza, which also contains a 19th century townhouse, contains a cherry tree – Fifty Albert Road is the short-lived flush of a Japanese Winter. Pink light installations delicately blush the white porcelain exterior surface that rolls into the hotel-style lobby. Inside there are many points for the building’s community to interact, with a lounge, bar and concierge, all in a pale, high key palette punctuated by a cherry tree art piece. Walk through to the back and further into the land of the rising sun, a health and fitness area is also a Japanese garden, with gold tiles, timber objects, air plants and pebbles. Rope elements suggest the more ‘covert’ side of Japanese culture and create an Onsen experience. The themed interiors continue throughout the building: the pure white walls have unexpected bulges, asking questions of the flawless Japanese aesthetic.The communal rooftop area provides more opportunities for residents to mingle. The space has more hotel style inclusions such as a sundeck, outdoor hot tub, dining area, poker room, and plunge pools. You can even rent out the preview room and have your own rock star party! Instead of the Yellow Brick Road, let Fifty Albert Road’s serpentine form lead you down a white porcelain path. Enjoy being lost in translation when the nuances of Japanese culture meet contemporary apartment living.
