As the Brisbane River snakes its way through the landscape, we find ourselves a prime opportunity, perched at the transitional node between East & West; you will find me by the river bend....

‘Alive – Roma Street’ looks to provide an accessible affordable housing offering in the centre of Brisbane – providing connection and proximity to key health, community and cultural hubs, whilst providing an array of amenity for residents to enjoy.

The built form is segmented into a defined podium and tower form. Brickwork wraps the podium, transitioning into a perforated brise-soleil, allowing glimpses of activity and light from the street. The tower form is slender in nature, references the striations and weathering of a rock face; reminiscent of the carving of the landscape to create Roma Street Rail Yards. Green belts and subtropical planting are interwoven along the vertical faces, providing residents with a softer outlook.
