Located at 139 Queensberry Street, Carlton, The Eminence is nestled geographically and architecturally between the large scale of Melbourne’s CBD and the fine grain streetscapes of suburban Carlton. The building strikes a balance between its two bookends, drawing design inspiration from both.
At street level, The Eminence communicates effortlessly and playfully with the typical two to three storey Carlton streetscape, while the residential tower structures are overlaid with the form and overall scale of the city.
The result is the creation of a wide range of apartment sizes and offerings that opens its doors to various occupants, which challenges Melbourne’s mono-culture that is usually developed when an apartment is simply designed for one specific type of resident.
