Detail InformationEdit

“1 Treasury Place (also known as the State Government Office) is a government building in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia that was built in the ’60s and comprises five levels of office accommodation. The building was designed by architect Barry Patten according to the internationalist style of architecture.The building is home to the Victorian Government Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) and Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF). The building is also home to the office of the Secretary of DTF (currently Grant Hehir), the office of the Premier of Victoria (currently Ted Baillieu), and the office of the Treasurer of Victoria (currently Kim Wells).
Prior to the construction of 1 Treasury Place, the land was a paddock that was used by a caretaker who lived in the Old Treasury Building. In 1962 an architectural competition was held, with 12 firms experienced in office building invited to submit design plans for this section of Treasury Reserve. The guidelines for the competition outlined the government’s wish for a building or buildings that would express ‘soaring wonderment’. Yuncken Freeman Architects entered the competition, but felt that a tower-like construction would destroy Melbourne’s best vista looking eastward from the top of Collins Street. Barry Patten’s design, from Yuncken Freeman Architects was initially rejected as it didn’t address the specifications, but was eventually selected and included two infill buildings of similar scale to the Old Treasury building and 2 Treasury Place, with the taller building to face Macarthur Street.”
