Duncan Street Master Plan

KIRK and ML Design won a limited design competition held by Tower Holdings, for the redevelopment of a three-hectare light industrial site on the Brisbane River in West End for medium density residential accommodation.

Location
West End, Brisbane, Australia

Client
Tower Holdings

Status
Design Competition

Gross Floor Area
3 hectares (site)

Context & Concept

The site is the largest landholding in the West End Riverside South Precinct, constituting a significant component of Brisbane's current redevelopment. The site is articulated by the proposed new road resumptions which created two parcels of land. To link the sites, a significant landscape space is used to visually connect the separated parcels. These landscape spaces contain large water features or lagoons, which are idealized memories of the River-line Rainforest that once occupied this area.

The design concept challenges conventional development models. The buildings running perpendicular to the river to achieve improved solar orientation, increase river views and provide less building mass to the river edge. Substantial riverside landscaping forms the linear parks that offer improved amenity and river views for accommodation towards the rear portion of the deep site.
