Erie Basin - Millennium Tower





This residential development is composed of a 20 storey tower and a lower 9 storey block.  Together they are known as Millennium Tower or Erie Basin, it was designed by the architectural practice of Broadway Malyan and completed in 2008.  Broadway Malyan describe the building as follows:  "The Erie Basin scheme provides 209 residential units, 6,000m² of retail space and a two-storey car park. The two residential blocks, one of nine and one of 20 storeys, are positioned to maximise views across the docks, and to enhance or frame views from neighbouring  buildings. Inspired by a ship launching into water, one of the blocks projects and leans forward over the edge of the dock. The selection of materials has deliberately remained simple in order to enhance and complement the strong forms of each of the individual elements in the design: reflective aluminium panels, dark grey clay tiles and fibre cement composite panels."
