Design that Responds to Context
Show more458 Wickham Street is a prominent site within Fortitude Valley that is embedded deeply in Brisbane’s history and culture. Adjacent the heritage Police Station, the site faces the Holy Trinity Church and is near the Valley Pool.
Over recent years, the precinct has seen rapid cultural transition, growth and gentrification. Commercial developments, entertainment venues, and retail stores have given the area an eclectic identity, somewhat incoherent with the historical buildings of the precinct.
The design properly responds to its context by acknowledging the existing historical classicism in the precinct and by embracing the landscape and climate. The rational office grid adapts to local climate conditions and erodes to respond to the more human scale of the neighbouring heritage buildings.

Eroding Architecture
Show moreThe project also erodes to make space for a landscape which will mature and age with the city. This dichotomy between historical context and contemporary office and between the landscape and built form is made visceral through colour and materiality.
The project also develops a relationship with the city beyond the site by blurring the thresholds allowing the masonry and stone textures to pervade through the line of enclosure. It provides space for pedestrians and is surrounded by landscape to provide relief to a harsh urban context.
The overall design approach contributes to the emerging urbanity of Brisbane by responding to local culture, history and climate. The result is a building which
