Morris Moor, Melbourne, Australia
Once a powerhouse of manufacturing in Moorabbin, the former Philip Morris site is now Morris Moor, a bold, design-led neighbourhood, buzzing with life. Up Property along with architects Genton, Clarke Hopkins Clarke, Made For, and RITZ&GHOUGASSIAN transformed a relic of the past into a future-facing precinct, full of character and impossible to replicate.
