The tallest building in the southern hemisphere, Australia 108 is a new residential development in Melbourne by Brookfield Multiplex. Rickard Engineering was the façade engineer to Minesco who supplied the aluminium and glass curtain wall.

The curved geometry of the façade and large displacement of the building meant it was essential for special considerations to be made with regard to façade/building movements and the interaction between the two.

The “Star Burst” design between Levels 69 and 72 was highly complicated and is constructed with aluminium panels and glazing panels installed on trusses.
