Residents moved into Melbourne's best new address in December in time to enjoy their new homes (and the recreation deck!) over the festive period.

The transformation of the former Channel Seven studio site is a collaboration between architects Elenberg Fraser and interior designers Hecker Guthrie who have delivered Fridcorp's vision for the development via their well loved and respected signature styles.

"Designing with the end in mind we have taken the utilitarian and made it unique," says Paul Hecker, of Hecker Guthrie. "We meticulously planned every aspect of elm's interior including sculptural features which add an element of art to each apartment."

elm is a modern building that makes a positive contribution to the urban environment. The team at Elenberg Fraser has devised an architectural scheme that focuses on elm's proximity to the stunning settings of the Royal Botanic Gardens by establishing them as highlight aspects of the building.

"The facade employs a subtle, layered architecture that protects the interiors and diffuses the sun through integrated internal and external spaces" says Callum Fraser of architects Elenberg Fraser.

elm's lobby is a beautiful space for residents and guests with a living vertical garden by Fytogreen Australia and a striking piece by Australian artist, Dale Frank. The centrepiece of elm is the podium recreation deck, created by award-winning landscape designer Jack Merlo, which features a series of entertainment zones with pools and barbecues for the exclusive use of elm residents.
