Office space, ICI House, East Melbourne, 1958
ICI House (now known as the Orica house) was completed in 1958 by architectural firm Bates, Smart and McCutcheon. It was the first building allowed to exceed Melbourne’s height limits set in the early 1900s, and until 1961 was the tallest building in Australia. The building also set an example for how high-rise office buildings could incorporate better amenities both for office workers and the public.
