The HIVE Apartment

The Hive apartment in Melbourne, Australia, designed by the architect Zvi Belling of ITN Architects is the first in a series of Hip Hop buildings. As an exciting introduction to a brave new design project, it was inspired by and celebrate graffiti art and urban culture.  Representing  the culmination of Belling’s project working with street artists, the Hive has been created in conjunction with Belling’s neighbour, Prowla, a respected old school graffiti writer of the Rock Da City crew who contributed the letter designs that make up the building’s structure and overall form. This urban building immediately grabs your attention and communicates its inspiration and concept both loud and proud.
