Atrium and performance space slated for Yarra One development

A ground floor atrium will be a feature of a new laneway development linking Melbourne's South Yarra station and Chapel Street.

The atrium is part of Forrest Hill precinct's latest apartment project Yarra One and is designed by Fender Katsalidis Architects.

The atrium will feature a stage area with tiered seating for performances.

The atrium will connect Yarra Lane to Daly Street flows through to Chapel Street.

Andrew Leoncelli, managing director for residential projects at CBRE said there has been a true commitment to making a positive contribution to South Yarra’s growing community with the creation of this atrium.

“The atrium is an example of placemaking at its best and will transform the Forrest Hill precinct with its diverse range of amenity for both residents and the wider community.”

Karl Fender, founding director of Fender Katsalidis Architects said Yarra One’s atrium takes inspiration from Melbourne’s renowned network of laneways – the lifeblood of the city’s built environment – bustling with cafes, galleries, specialty shops and eclectic boutiques.
