Equus (Melbourne Terrace Apartments)
The building
Equus is one of four sections of the Melbourne Terrace Apartments, built on the Franklin and Queen Street corner in 1994 to a design by Nonda Katsalidis. It was purpose-built as homes — among the first apartment blocks to go up in the city centre — when Melbourne was trying to draw residents back into the CBD. Each of the four entries carries a copper sculpture; the Equus entry shows a centaur, half man and half horse.
