Collins Arch Uplifts Public Space in Downtown Melbourne

While a podium with two towers might have been a standard response to the brief, Collins Arch effectively submerges its podium so that its constructed ground plane is at the Collins Street level. A new amphitheatre acts as stair and ramp to move onto the main level. Timber blocks articulate and screen, forming a pleasant space that was being well used even in a somewhat unoccupied area of the city. The space flows down onto the Market Street edge, where a grand colonnade follows the land levels and creates a covered area fronting the new park. The columns of this colonnade are shaped to be both massive and precise, landing the mostly glass tower.
