R.Iconic + R.Evolution

At the heart of R.Iconic was a simple ambition: scale without losing soul. We wanted to create a definitive presence in the skyline and remain deeply connected to the street below. We carefully minimised overshadowing, protected surrounding parkland, and ensured strong connection to place. Now built, well-loved and multi-award winning, we set about concepting R.Evolution: the final chapter of this two-part landmark on Melbourne's skyline.

Workshops with placemakers and street activation experts helped to shape our thinking. This informed how we designed and how people would live, move, and gather here. We wanted to make sure wellbeing was a fully holistic experience.

R.Iconic and R.Evolution now mark a new inner-city destination. We sketched, modelled, and tested until we landed on a bold, angular twin-tower design. Forty storeys, sculpted subpenthouses, a landmark form that signals a new meeting point for the city.

A brick-clad podium thoughtfully connects to South Melbourne’s heritage terraces. Ensuring the experience at street level feels truly local, while up above the one, two, and three-bedroom interiors represent the best of city living. Premium finishes, expansive vistas and luxurious detailing make for a desirable home.

It’s the community details that make this place special. Built around wellbeing, entertainment and convenience, a wide range of amenity sits across both towers. A gym, running track, playground, heated pool, rooftop spa and BBQs, zen garden, shared kitchens, lounges, a whisky hall and private gardens leave little to long for.

Beyond our building, this future-focused precinct is emerging. Hospitality venues, coworking spaces, and a full-service supermarket will mean residents won’t ever want to leave.

At R.Iconic and R.Evolution we designed a vertical neighbourhood—one that scales up in style, without losing what matters.
