With its stunning variety of parks and gardens, efficient and clean public transport system, and bike friendly streets Melbourne is a thriving metropolis that is proud of its history and enthusiastic about its future. Mider has collaborated with Artisan Architects to create flexible living spaces that are comfortable and convenient. Grand 8 features an outstanding CBD location, fully furnished apartments and access to the finest in lifestyle amenities.
At Grand 8, instead of the horizontal balconies you’d expect to see, the building gives the impression of a seamless series of stacked boxes
This weaves the new development together with the existing Stage 1 of the project, Infinity 8, as well as with the adjoining future development to the west. The top two levels appear as an open box that transforms, at night, into a lantern behind the feature slatted screen. This exciting design feature pays homage to the historic Flagstaff Beacon.
