Italian architects MORQ have brought their quiet, sculptural sensibility to Melbourne, Australia, designing an exclusive collection of residences in the Domain Precinct of South Yarra. They’ve collaborated with Neometro, one of the country’s most design-focused developers, sharing values around material honesty, proportion and longevity.

Founded in Rome, MORQ has built an international reputation for its meditative approach to space and light. In Melbourne, that philosophy manifests in refined geometry and natural finishes that frame the city’s changing light.
The development, due for completion in 2026, comprises a small number of ultra-premium apartments, including a penthouse expected to exceed AUD$20 million. Interiors are conceived as calm, tactile sanctuaries — embodiments of the global shift toward quiet luxury and the idea of collecting architecturally significant homes as cultural assets. Set within one of Melbourne’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, where land values rank among the highest per sqm in Australia, the address positions architecture as both an investment and an enduring expression of design culture.
