According to planner Urbis, the building is set to be a highly environmentally sustainable, Net Zero building due to a number of design aspects and represents an “exemplar landscaped approach to development”.

Within the development application, the building is being described as a ‘Biophilic Design’ which means connecting humans with the natural world to improve well-being and inspire productivity.

“The proposal incorporates a highly articulated façade with landscaping elements woven through out. The landscape concept of the development is at the forefront of the design rather than forming a separate compulsory inclusion.

This provides an amenity that reinforces a subtropical character within the transitional location between the two precincts. The development provides for an overall 73.8% landscape cover for the site and provides a best practice design solution.

In addition to the highly landscaped design solution, the development offers a high standard of architectural design, embodying the principles ‘Buildings that Breathe’ to create a sub-tropical built form which capitalises upon natural light and cross ventilation.

Further, the development provides a highly articulated façade encompassing a variety of materials and architectural treatments which responds to Brisbane’s sub-tropical climate.” – Urbis / Cottee Parker
