One of the largest urban renewal projects in Melbourne, Wesley Place comprises three commercial towers over three conjoined sites located at 130, 140 and 150 Lonsdale Street.
Wesley Place stands as a transformative architectural precinct within Melbourne, forging an intersection of commerce and culture. This transformation breathes new life into the landscape, where a number of heritage buildings at ground level have been restored with modern carpentry and cladding elements, meticulously crafted by Casello. At 130 Lonsdale Street, a standout feature is the ground floor podium and ceiling cladding, creating an elegant entry point to the building.
transforming the way people work, connect and socialise.
OTHER PROJECTS
Rosanna Station
Rosanna Station is part of the Victorian Government’s Level Crossing Removal Project, which replaced a former level crossing with a new elevated rail line and integrated station precinct. The station’s architectural language incorporates bold colours and a highly tactile material palette, and calls for robust, transport-grade materials with high aesthetic performance, suited to the demands of public infrastructure and continuous use. Cladding and carpentry were delivered across the station’s external and internal zones. Folded metal cladding was fabricated and installed along primary facades and soffits, with alignment and fixings coordinated to meet structural, glazing, and waterproofing tolerances. Within the station envelope, terracotta wall linings and suspended acoustic baffles were integrated across concourse and platform areas. These elements provided material contrast while supporting the station’s acoustic and environmental performance targets. Installation was sequenced in line with major structural and services works, with delivery aligned to commissioning and public access requirements.
