Designed by the architectural firm Godfrey & Spowers, it is a modernist building. It previously served as the headquarters for BHP, and the company's sign on the outside of the structure was the highest in the country. BHP has since moved to a new building across the city to 171 Collins Street.
The building's most obvious feature on the skyline is its sloped roof, which hides various communications equipment. The structure's facade is Template:Convert of laminated glass.
In 2019 the building's ground floor foyer has undergone refurbishment under the guidance of 3XN in collaboration with NH Architecture with construction work carried out by Probuild.
