151 Toorak Road has been nominated for the global ArchDaily 2024 Building of the Year Awards.

Built by Harris HMC with ESD by Ark Resources, 151 Toorak Road is a 6 story office building with a ground floor restaurant. It responds to its heritage neighbours with an innovative second-skin facade over a traditional brickwork base. The facade pattern references the former 1890s South Yarra Post Office opposite, coupled with the need to protect the west facade from heat load. The Flex Brick brise soleil is a 'cradle to cradle' product, manufactured using bio gas and fully recyclable.
