This stunning white building is the Monaco House in the Central Business District of Melbourne, Australia. Incredibly contemporary and sculptural, this new four story building is located in a mostly pedestrian area and was realized by McBride Charles Ryan.

The abstract Monaco House is home to a café on the ground floor, two levels of office space (home to the Proprietors Investment and Philanthropic Organization) and a reception area to be used by the Honorary Consular of Monaco on the top floor.
