The historic character of the original Joshua Brothers Distillery buildings on the site for “id Apartments” provided not only an iconic image for the development, but also a reference for the design of the new buildings that have rejuvenated this pocket of Port Melbourne. Recognising the existing context, SJB’s design approach was to site four buildings around a central, shared courtyard space with pool, recreation areas and a lush tropical landscaped setting. Along Pickles Street, the historic façade has been restored and the original window openings now sit adjacent to new glazed openings, forming an active street edge and offering views towards St Kilda Beach.
