Claremont Street

Claremont Street runs north to south through the Forrest Hill precinct of South Yarra, bridging the busy commercial energy of Toorak Road and the quieter, elevated grounds near Melbourne High School. It is defined by its dramatic change in scale, where mid-century remnants have been largely replaced by residential towers reaching up to twenty storeys. These buildings, like the one at number fifty, emphasize clean lines and stone textures, designed to evoke the sleek aesthetic of the surrounding Botanic Gardens area while packing high-density living into a narrow footprint.
