Nice to see a building in a park covered in greenery ! This is the Parks Victoria office and depot in Albert Park, designed by Archier and Harrison and White, with sustainability by @hipvhype and landscape by @_openwork, built in 2019. It’s got wide eaves with planted roofs and trailing plants, while the windows are dark mirrored glass, not unfriendly but not that approachable, but I went in anyway and found the wonderful courtyard. I did wonder though why a courtyard when you’ve got gardens all round, but you get to plant nice stuff I guess. It’s so much better than anything I’ve seen @parksvic have a hand in, not that I’ve seen much. Last three images from various articles.
