Quay St Apartments
Located adjacent to a major Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) node, this multi-story complex will provide 84 thoughtfully designed residential units. Each unit is adaptable to suit the diverse needs of future residents, ensuring flexibility and long-term livability. Beyond its residential function, the project is envisioned as a catalyst for urban renewal, contributing to the revitalization of the surrounding precinct.
The site planning process carefully balanced density with sensitivity to the existing context. Through a hybrid, tapered building form, the development integrates seamlessly with the surrounding urban fabric—respecting the scale of neighboring structures, preserving privacy, and maintaining key view corridors toward the Brisbane River.
Sustainability is embedded in the design strategy. A network of ventilation wells enables natural cross-ventilation, introducing cooling breezes into both common areas and individual units. This passive design approach significantly reduces reliance on artificial cooling systems during warmer months, fostering a more comfortable, energy-efficient living environment.
