NEWSTEAD based developer DevCorp is planning to build a 13-storey luxury apartment tower called Lume on a unique piece of land at Kangaroo Point. DevCorp Managing Director Murray Thornton is confident that the luxury apartments, which are designed for owner-occupiers, will prove popular. “We’ll be sold out by June. It’ll be well and truly gone by then,” he said. The location and shape of the future apartments - a corner site between two roads - is an amalgamation of
three properties. The challenging location of the site, along with the natural beauty and city-wide views of Kangaroo Point, were all factors that attracted Mr Thornton to the area. “From its position on the intersection of Shafston Ave and Main St, Lume is a beacon for Kangaroo Point,” Mr Thornton said. Lume will command views of Story Bridge, the CBD, Southbank and the cliffs below New Farm. For more information, or to arrange an inspection, call 1800 478 477 or go to lume.com.au.
Glen Boyle's new place. Brick Lane on Florence interior. LOCATED in the popular woolshed area of Teneriffe, local architect Joe Adsett’s new design, Brick Lane on Florence, is set to begin construction in early 2016. The location of the new site is set over three current house blocks, and is an area that Mr Adsett has had his eye on for a while. “I’ve always loved this site,” said Mr Adsett, “and I originally wanted to build an architectural office [there]. “I loved the idea of nestling a building between the grand timber Queenslanders perched up high and the iconic brick woolstores and character filled laneways winding back from the river’s edge.” Brick Lane on Florence will feature 18 corner apartments, designed to let in an abundant amount of light and cross ventilation. The historic woolstores that make up the landscape of the waterline in Teneriffe were something that Mr
Adsett wanted to replicate in the design of the building. “We wanted to create a building that was respectful to its context. The challenge in designing the corner apartments was retaining the vast quantities of exposed glass whilst also providing a degree of control to the external elements,” he said. “We started to explore perforated screens and developed a perforation in the form of a brickwork motif, which we actually created by taking rubbings of the brickwork patterns from the surrounding wool stores.” Mr Adsett’s architectural practice, Joe Adsett Architects, is also located on Florence St, Teneriffe.
