Erie Basin - Millennium Tower![]() ![]() This residential development is
composed of a 20 storey tower and a lower 9 storey block.
Together they are known as Millennium Tower or Erie Basin, it was
designed by the architectural
practice of Broadway Malyan and completed in 2008. Broadway
Malyan describe the building as follows: "The Erie Basin scheme
provides 209 residential units, 6,000m² of retail space and a
two-storey car park. The two residential blocks, one of nine and one of
20 storeys, are positioned to maximise views across the docks, and to
enhance or frame views from neighbouring buildings. Inspired by a
ship launching into water, one of the blocks projects and leans forward
over the edge of the dock. The selection of materials has deliberately
remained simple in order to enhance and complement the strong forms of
each of the individual elements in the design: reflective aluminium
panels, dark grey clay tiles and fibre cement composite panels."
