Context
Consolidated Properties commissioned KIRK to design a 12-storey apartment building in Macquarie Street, St Lucia. 160 Macquarie provides an exclusive residential tower to the iconic riverside suburb of St Lucia. Sweeping views across the Brisbane River were central in planning expansive living spaces, which maximise the opportunity for outdoor living in the city’s temperate climate.
The building accommodating high end boutique apartments will replace an existing house on site and overlook Brisbane CBD and Mt. Coot-tha across Brisbane River.
Concept
The development includes 22, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments across 12 levels, each with panoramic views and shared access to the riverside pool and terraces. The building’s restrained and clearly articulated form allows for uninterrupted views from key living and bedroom spaces. Operable shading to north-facing spaces allows residents to adjust and temper sun to suit individual living patterns.
