Hobson’s Bay Tower, on Beaconsfield Parade Middle Park, in Dec last year. Not my favourite high rise, but it does do some interesting things, with two projecting bays on all sides and three sets of insets to emphasise the way they project. I found a reference that it was built in 1980, and designed by Sol Sapir, who did virtually all the high rise along the foreshore between 1968 and about 1980.
A penthouse was sold last year that had a pretty groovy makeover, with a shiny ceiling with curved cornices. Also found a more typical one lower down; nice views.
