The St Kilda Multi was a multi-unit development designed for a relatively small site on Chapel street in St Kilda, Victoria, Australia. The existing run-down weatherboard cottage standing on the site was to be demolished with the exception of the shop-front street facade which was required by council planners to be preserved. The development was originally conceived as a kind of family compound for the owners and their children who had held the property for many years prior. Unfortunately, due to a change in circumstances the property was sold and the project was never built. The main features of the design included:

• north-facing upper level living and terraced balconies

• ground floor studio units

• double parking using car stackers

• PV solar, suspended gardens and rainwater harvesting for re-use

• loft-stye upper level bedrooms and balconies
