Located on the corner of Bourke Street and Spencer Street in Melbourne’s CBD, the superstructure soars 246 metres high and hosts 780 residential apartments as well as a 172 room Mövenpick Hotel2.
The project features communal areas on Levels 6, 45, and 75 including exclusive lounges, a swimming pool, theatre, gym, and dining areas3.
Omnii provided innovative and value-adding fire safety engineering design in the following key areas:
- 3D modelling egress strategies and alarm sequencing to establish optimal people movement, including the use of lifts in emergency situations
- Development of smoke hazard management strategies to optimise floor area and interconnected space
- Refinement of active fire safety systems that are suitable for the use of the environment and space
- Review of structure to enable desired construction methods
“Our approach reflected the changing demographic of apartment city dwellers which now encompass all aspects of our community and provided a higher level of safety,” states Marcello Arbaci, Omnii Director.
