A'Beckett Tower provides high quality residential apartment accommodation
situated within the academic precinct of Melbourne CBD. The apartments address
the needs of professionals/academics with a desire to live and work in the
city; while complimenting the level of eccentric design in this area of the
city.
The autumnal screen facade acts primarily as a shading and privacy device to
the apartments; however it also maintains a level of articulation which the
precinct demands.
Aimed at savvy urbanites, the apartment interiors are designed to be
contemporary spaces with a quirk.
Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 are the inspiration for the treatment of surfaces
and styling. They appear regular but just like Maxwell's shoe phone, there is
an element of the unexpected. Hence the interior spaces are designed to reveal
things which are not immediately apparent.
