Timeless Magnificence: John Sage’s Favourite Melbourne Architecture

As an individual who is passionate about design and development of properties I am always attracted to Melbourne for its variety of gorgeous architecture. From the busy streets of the city centre to the tranquil residential areas There is a sense of tradition and character throughout Melbourne’s bustling city.

I am a fan of being involved in the construction process and am thrilled by the process of building. I’m a huge admirer of breathtaking architecture. I’ve been all over the world, including small and large cities I am enthralled and amazed by the variety and beauty of architecture and their designs. How they interact and enhance their surroundings, how they affect the atmosphere of a space and the way they affect how people are interacting with them.

Shrine of Remembrance


Since I can remember this shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne is a must-see on my list of landmarks to see. It’s more than just a structure but it also has an important significance as a tribute to the Australian people and women who sacrificed for their country during moments of peace and war. The Shrine was inaugurated in 1934, and was subject to an extensive renovation in 2014. It’s a stunning mixture of architectural styles and references to old Egyptian pyramids as well as the Mausoleum in Halicarnassus situated in Turkey. On the terrace of the Shrine you are able to gaze out across the Shrine Reserve and the Shrine Reserve, which is a serene and beautiful area to contemplate.

St Paul’s Cathedral

St. Paul’s Cathedral is an exquisite and historic structure situated within Melbourne, Australia. It is a noteworthy illustration of the Neo-Gothic architectural style. It is designed by famous English designer William Butterfield.

The Cathedral is constructed in the form of the traditional Latin cross, and has the long nave with short transepts, side aisles and a tower that is located at the cross.

The stonework inside is a mix of several materials, such as sandstone and limestone, giving the building a warm , inviting look.

The spires are built out of Sydney Sandstone. They are slightly different color than the rest of the structure because of their age.

Many visitors experience an atmosphere of calm and tranquility upon going to St. Paul’s Cathedral, making it a top spot for those looking for some time for solitude and contemplation.

State Library of Victoria


The Domed Reading Room sounds like an ideal and serene spot to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. A well-stocked library is an amazing thing and the layout of the room can definitely improve the experience there. A dome-shaped ceiling can be a attractive feature that will add an air of grandness and spaciousness to a reading space. The wooden chairs contribute to the charm of the room, creating an inviting and relaxing space for reading or contemplation. I’ll take my Domed Reading Room, which is a great place to read books in peace and quiet, and I’m an extremely content man.

Old Treasury Building


The Old Treasury Building located in Melbourne, Australia was designed by 19-year-old architect John James ‘JJ’ Clark in the Renaissance Revival style. Its exterior was built using sandstone from The Bald Hills quarry as well as Bluestone Foundations from Footscray. The basement floor is one centimetre thick. Utilizing local materials to construct will give building a sense of being connected to the area in which they are built.

Royal Exhibition Building

Did you be aware it was the Royal Exhibition Building (picture in the main image at the top of this page) is the very first structure in the nation to receive UNESCO World Heritage status? Built in 1880, it was designed in order to hold the inaugural World’s Fair in the Southern Hemisphere. While smaller sections were destroyed by fire or other damages however, it is the Great Hall has survived. There are few things that scream Melbourne to me as strongly as looking at the Great Dome!
