Richmond is at the intersection of the gritty northern suburbs and the traditionally genteel south-eastern suburbs of the Yarra, earning it the nickname ‘the Switzerland of Melbourne’. But Richmond is far from neutral when it comes to architecture. This Architour explores its rich industrial past and - for better or worse - its rapidly densifying future. Delightful compact houses, including one that literally greets passers-by and another that fakes its facade, jostle among large apartment buildings and converted warehouses to create an eclectic microcosm of inner city Melbourne.
