South Yarra's Forrest Hill precinct continues to boom, with the announcement of a lofty, openair atrium to sit at the base of Claremont Street's new luxury residential development, Yarra One.

Drawing inspiration from Melbourne's famed laneway culture, the ambitious project will see the thoroughfare between Daly Street and Yarra Lane transformed into a vibrant community hub, and a lifestyle destination in itself.

Designed by Fender Katsalidis Architects (MONA), the ground floor space is nothing short of stunning, boasting sprawling, sun-dappled interiors and a soaring timber trellis entwined by lush foliage. Not only will it feature a diverse collection of cafes, restaurants, and retailers, but also rows of tiered seating overlooking a small stage area, marking the space's potential as a cultural hub.

Counting favourites like Zumbo Patisserie and Two Birds One Stone as neighbours, this dynamic addition is on track to becoming one of Melbourne's new wave of large-scale lifestyle destinations.

Construction for the Yarra One project, including the atrium, will be completed by 2020.
