The Monaco House is a four storey building which located in a largely pedenstrain lane at the east end of Melboourne’s CBD. Dominant in the lane is the historic Melbournn Club wall and large plane trees emerging from the Melbourne Club garden.
At ground level entry and cafe are followed by two levels of office. The top level contains a small reception area to facilitate the client’s role as Honorary Consul of Monaco. Within the office, large apertures to the west are shaded by deep balconies and the adjoining plane trees. Outdoor balconies and the “ green - roofscape” provide areas of release from the office desk. The building is an essay in fine grained urbanism, it seeks to talk about its consular role as well as to enhance to pedestrain experience of the city.
In term of this Monaco House, the form and its circulation is quite similar to Klein Bottle House, the irregular triangled corner and multiple shaped of internor space create a completely diferrent feeling of architecture. Architecture is no longer dead and boring, instead, it's full of live and fun. That’s the main reason why I chose this building as my case study.
