St Julien

15-Storey Residential Tower
80 Apartments

Envisioned as the ‘jewel’ on top of the hill, St Julien’s slender vertical form can be viewed from a far, contributing to South Brisbane’s evolving skyline.

Design intelligence

Design intelligence input to the plan sculpted the building and accentuated the verticality of the form and presence at its corners. A mixture of pre-cast panels and full height glass frames views north towards the Brisbane River and the City with dwellings predominantly orientated in this direction. The faceted curve in the facades creates movement in light and shadow, each piece of glass reflecting at a slightly different angle.

Podium

Like the tower, the podium is a sculpted form, this form and mass of the podium has been broken down in scale referencing the curves from the tower above. A mixture of pre-cast concrete, bronze screening, patterned glass and full height glazing have been carefully sculpted to break up the mass of this façade.

Landscape has also been used as a material, with generous planter beds and vertical landscape incorporated into the design of the podium walls and the terrace level above.
