Outside becomes inside
Building: InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto
Architect: Rialto Building - William Pitt
Winfield Building - Richard Speight Jr
Restoration - The Buchan Group
The InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto, previously known as the Rialto Hotel, was built from a conversion of two heritage buildings, the Rialto and the Winfield, both designed and built in the 19th century. The supposedly outdoor area had turned into the hotel interior cafe. Two buildings had merged together and become one. Wonderfully well-designed! Impressive!

Building: Melbourne Central
Architect: Read description
The original design of the shopping centre, office tower, and railway station was by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. However, it was refurbished in 2005 by architects Ashton Raggatt McDougall. I personally very pleased with the outcome, love the way the architects covered the dome without disrupting the beauty of the tower. One of my favourite buildings in Australia before i came to Melbourne in 2007.
Some architects are just naughty

This building is just located not far away from my place. During its construction period, i saw the signboard claiming itself to be the first zero-carbon building in Australia. But now I would like to ask the architects.. Erm.. Do the colourful panels show any sign related with zero-carbon..???
