Designed by dKO Architects, 312 Latrobe Street, Urbanest’s newest student accommodation tower is an exciting addition to Melbourne’s CBD and EDGE Architectural’s project portfolio.

Featuring EDGE double glazed assemblies, the clean, contemporary design complements Melbourne’s cityscape with an impressive use of concrete and glass. 312 La Trobe Street features MAX™ 100 Centre Double Glaze assemblies and MAX™ 150 Structural Double Glaze assemblies. EDGE Architectural’s unique product DNA will provide students with increased levels of interior comfort all year round, as our MAX™ double glazed units reduce heat loss during winter and excess heat gain in summer.

We design and build living spaces especially for students and manage the buildings in a way that promotes and supports your lifestyle. In short, we know students and it’s our mission to deliver; the best locations, all inclusive rents, really great hospitality service, new benchmarks in comfort and a fantastic place to meet new friends and live your life the way you want.
