Australia 108 is set to become Australia’s highest high-rise tower when it completes in late 2019.

With prestigious architects Fender Katsalidis designing this iconic landmark in Melbourne’s Southbank precinct, it will contain 1,105 apartments across 100 floors over 319 metres. A selection of the unprecedented residential facilities include dining and function spaces, virtual golf, theatrettes, pools, spas, sauna and steam rooms, gymnasiums as well as an extensive barbeque terrace.

Shapeair worked closely with the mechanical contractor to design solutions that would be used, in particular with the linear bar grilles. Throughout this process, it was imperative that the bespoke natural and design of Australia 108.

The Shapeair Linear Bar Grille with the 12mm flange, was chosen for its stylish design and discreet appearance. This solution allowed for the air diffusion within the exceptional residential apartments to complement one another.

One of the first things noticed when residents enter the lobbies is the lobby relief louvres. Shapeair had to overcome the oversized required in projects of this nature. Shapeair developed a series of innovative solutions and implemented high-quality extruded aluminium sections to cater for hinged access, airflow and sizing requirements.

Shapeair is proud to have been selected to work on the Australia 108 project.
