Organic geometry

New Farm, a quintessentially ‘leafy’ suburb of Brisbane, enjoys a rich interwoven fabric of nature. Expansive parklands, tree-lined streets, and river fronted oases all making up what is referred to as the Garden of Brisbane.

The organic geometry and sinuous curves of a leaf combine with the strength of the site’s unique rhomboid shape, this establishes the building form in a deliberate reference to the immediate locality. The fine detail of a leaf’s skeleton further defines the building aesthetic through texture and material at a micro-level and references the nearby urban grain at the other extreme.
