Tower 5 is a 33-level commercial office space within this development, offering a distinctive facade rising 117 metres high.

Casello successfully completed the external metal façade cladding, lending to the development’s impressive street presence. The facade showcases a distinctive cut-glass effect, which was created using solid aluminum and perforated metal panels. Internally, we installed a complete carpentry package, including all doors, hardware, and skirting.

Delivering one of Australia’s largest commercial developments.

OTHER PROJECTS
Wesley Place

Wesley Place is a prominent mixed-use precinct in Melbourne’s CBD, delivering a considered integration of commercial towers and heritage fabric across 130, 140, and 150 Lonsdale Street. The development combines contemporary high-rise office buildings with the adaptive reuse of significant heritage structures, including the Wesley Church and associated bluestone buildings. As part of this precinct-scale transformation, specialist carpentry and cladding were completed across multiple zones, enhancing the architectural finish of public and transitional spaces while supporting the integration of old and new built forms. Carpentry and cladding works were undertaken across both new-build and heritage components of the precinct. At 130 Lonsdale Street, timber ceiling cladding and architectural linings were installed throughout the ground floor podium, contributing to the material continuity between interior and exterior spaces and reinforcing the tower’s architectural identity at street level. In parallel, restoration works were delivered across several heritage-listed structures. These included the fabrication and installation of bespoke timber elements, designed to match original profiles and detailing, as well as new façade interfaces that supported the adaptive reuse and compliance upgrades of the church and surrounding buildings. The works required close coordination with heritage consultants and precision integration with existing masonry and stonework.

VISIT PROJECT
222 Exhibition Street

As part of the revitalisation project of 222 Exhibition Street, our team installed the external faceted feature metal cladding on a lightweight framing system. This design minimised reflections from mirrored panels, maximising the visual impact from every angle. These choices perfectly aligned with the project's vision of architectural renewal.

VISIT PROJECT
RACV Cape Schanck

Located at the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, the RACV Cape Schanck Resort is a five-star retreat, unified by a sculptural building form that integrates with the surrounding coastal terrain with a material palette selected to endure harsh environmental conditions while delivering refined finishes. External works centred on the installation of Corten weathering steel cladding, a defining feature of the building’s curved façade. Panels were custom-fabricated and installed over complex geometry, with detailing designed to manage patina development and withstand coastal exposure. Internally, Casello delivered carpentry and finishing works across guest, public, and service areas. This included door and frame systems, many with acoustic and fire-rated requirements, skirting, hardware, and timber elements integrated with high-spec finishes.
