                    In June 2017, Kerstin Thompson Architects, in collaboration with BVN, was commissioned to re-imagine the Gothic Bank Complex at the corner of Queen Street and Collins Street.

                    ​With a brief 'to reposition a commercial asset,' they saw an opportunity to exploit the urban opportunity while celebrating Melbourne's remarkable neo-gothic heritage. 

                    Their design approach aligns these aspirations with a network of in-between spaces reconnecting people with climate, sky and the city. The finished project offers the city a unique model that blurs the lines between public and private, connecting us in new ways at a time when connecting could not be more needed.
