Plans approved for one of Brisbane's tallest apartment towers by Koichi Takada
Plans have been finalized for a towering green apartment building by Koichi Takada in Brisbane.
The development, at 25 Mary Street, is to be developed by KS Property and will be one of the Queensland capital's tallest towers at 264 metres, only behind the Brisbane Sky Tower and The One Residences by Shayher Group.
The 71-level building by the renowned Japanese architect will home 527 one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments and over 4,000 sqm of communal recreational space.
The design of the tower is inspired by natural forms, with the building's height evoking the image of a tree trunk rising into the sky, while the recreational levels are conceptualised as "nests" scattered throughout the structure.
Facilities on levels six and seven will cater to all residents, offering amenities such as a pet spa, yoga rooms, float therapy and a gym.
Higher up, on levels 23, 39, and 66, exclusive amenities will be provided for different apartment collections, including business centres, golf simulators, libraries, and private training rooms.
The podium and ground-level design also reflect the building's overall organic aesthetic, featuring cascading plants, green walls, and tactile materials that enhance the pedestrian experience.
The lobby will provide a generously proportioned, open space for residents and offer opportunities for passive surveillance of the street.
The tower will sit on a 2,736 sqm site that spans 25 Mary Street and 98 and 98A Margaret Street, just two streets away from the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens and a short distance from Queens Wharf Brisbane.
The site is adjacent to the Unilodge campus apartment building, Metro 21 apartment building, and the 23-level commercial office building, Mineral House.
