This approach to Victoria Square included Growland’s desire to celebrate a sense of ownership and belongings to a place which inspired the architectural direction of Victoria Square, the spokesperson said.

“The spirit of Footscray and the contour of the Maribyrnong river is evident in the design of the towers, as fluid planar shapes reflect the surrounding bay and river context.

“The inspiration from Footscray flows seamlessly from the external to the internal, with the lobby an echo of Footscray’s historical wharf, featuring a rhythmic pattern fin run across the wall.”

Growland continues this flow by incorporating aspects of Victoria Square’s surroundings and achieving interior balance between the rich history of Footscray and the contemporary urban scene that evoke liveliness.
