The Design Engineer is usually involved in the front end design, typically taking the leadership role in the Schematic Design and Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.
The main contractor is the supervisory contractor of all construction work on a project, management of sub-contractors and vendors, etc. May be referred to as "Construction Manager," however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Main Contractor" exclusively.
Material Supplier refers to organizations which supplied significant systems/materials for a building project (e.g. elevator suppliers, facade suppliers, etc).

The CTBUH lists a project manager when a specific firm has been commissioned to oversee this aspect of a tall building’s design/construction. When the project management efforts are handled by the developer, main contract, or architect, this field will be omitted.

Melbourne’s Chapel Street district is known to be a busy and iconic area of the city which provided a unique context for the Vogue residential development. The surrounding entertainment and shopping amenities were appropriately reciprocated by creating a large podium housing a light-filled retail center, which is then topped by three separate volumes of residential units. The stepping of the tower provides a transition from the pedestrian scale of the context to the larger tower scale.
The dominant element of the development is the curving tower form elevated over the podium that defines the street edge. The tower has a layering of fine detailing that affords a constant play of light and shade. The glazing is designed as a series of enveloping curtains, which open to reveal large balcony areas for all apartments. The crown of the tower is a triangulated, faceted form, which captures and reflects sunlight over the course of the day.
