Six Degrees experience in pioneering spaces that fostered connection and brought vibrancy to underutilised urban nooks, led to the re-envisioned Federation Wharf, a once-neglected waterfront tucked behind Federation Square.

Our work at Federation Wharf embraced the Yarra River and the character of Melbourne’s riverside heritage, transforming the forgotten bluestone vaults into office space and Riverland—a lively hospitality and public space that draws people to the river's edge, connecting the city's past with its present.

A signature Six Degree transformation from underutilised public space to a vibrant multi-purpose destination, bringing life to the City of Melbourne.
