49built form5.3 BUILDING TYPOLOGIESThe master plan defines a diverse range of buildingtypes that respond to the evolving characteristicsof the Kurilpa precinct. New development willreflect the riverside parkland setting, the urbaninfluences of the nearby CBD, Brisbane’s outdoorlifestyle and quality contemporary architecture.URBAN COREAt Kurilpa’s northern point, commercial and residentialtowers will reflect the city skyline across the river. Largelots will allow for development of height and substance.The existing neighbourhood plan already allows for towersup to 30 storeys, and towers up to 40 storeys will beencouraged south of Montague Road and east of CordeliaStreet to complement the city centre. At their feet, the newbuildings will be open to the surrounding streets, allowingeasy pedestrian through-movement and encouraging socialinteraction and activation of the streets and spaces theydefine. The towers above will be set back to reinforce theprinciples of subtropical design and ensure an open aspect.URBAN COREMONTAGUE ROADAs a well-proportioned street with a good proximity tosurrounding public spaces, Montague Road will becomeone of Brisbane’s signature subtropical boulevards.Clusters of commercial development will punctuate itslength with buildings up to 6 storeys defining a strongstreet address. Towers of 20 storeys and above will befurther set back from the street, side and rear boundariesto create more space. Importantly, buildings will engagethe street at ground level with shops, cafes, foyers andre-purposed heritage places to ensure continuity ofactivity. Above street level, buildings will be permeable andsubtropical, with louvres, balconies, awnings and verticallandscapes drawing the lush, river parkland landscapeof Kurilpa up into the building. As a transition betweenthe Urban Core and River’s Edge, towers up to 30 storeysare supported where fronting onto Bouquet Street.MONTAGUE ROADRIVER’S EDGEA patchwork of green spaces will enrich Kurilpa’s riversidegarden community. Each building will present a narrowerprofile to the river to maximise views out into the landscape.Along the new Riverside Esplanade, riverfront cafes,restaurants and shops will occupy the first three storeysand activate the parklands, with towers up to 15 storeyswell set back – the perfect spot to watch the sun go down.ICONIC CULTURAL AND LEISURE BUILDINGSTwo new cultural buildings will be created that add toand enhance Brisbane’s mix of arts and entertainmentdestinations. Low-rise, sculptural in form, and closelyintegrated within their parkland settings, the designwill be original to each and expressive of the culturalactivity taking place within. They will deliver a rangeof useable outdoor event spaces and incorporatepublicly accessible rooftop garden terraces.RIVER’S EDGE
