New River Bank

Melbourne's Central Business District is one of the most densely populated areas.

South of the Yarra River, the density of high-rise commercial buildings has declined, replaced by more urban green spaces, open spaces and residential communities.

As the population grows, residential building space and communities are increasing day by day. The buildings on both sides of the Yarra River are very complete, but also very scattered. Large shopping malls, industrial land, office buildings, retail and urban green spaces are scattered in various places and the volume of the building also varies greatly.

Under these conditions, how to respond to the growing needs of residents in this area has become a new problem.

The project aims to make full use of the open space and green space of the Yarra River and rethink the building functions and environment that are beneficial to the community. Innovate the methods and forms of community activities along the Yangtze River. Build the riverside space into a space that is conducive to the community and embeds more social values. This is not only a re-planning and utilisation of idle space, but also an exploration of optimizing the community environment.
