Apartments.com.au: Joe Adsett scales up, proposes riverside apartment tower in Auchenflower

Architect-turned-developer Joe Adsett is set to create a new landmark on the Brisbane River.

Adsett, a longtime architect who has more recently turned his attention to designing and developing his own buildings, has filed plans for his latest project to date: a 23-storey tower comprising 90 “large-format” apartments on the corner of Coronation Drive and Lang Parade in Auchenflower.

The project, dubbed Bloom, would deliver a mix of 36 two-bedroom and 54 three-bedroom apartments arranged within a sculptural tower rising above a publicly accessible ground - level landscape and lobby. The site occupies approximately 1,430 square meters and is identified as a landmark site under the Toowong-Auchenflower Neighborhood Plan.

Joe Adsett Describes the building as a “response to both the riverfront setting and Brisbane’s subtropical climate” in the planning documentation submitted to the Brisbane City Council.

“Through its sculptural architectural expression and carefully considered landscape integration, the proposed development responds thoughtfully to its prominent riverfront setting while reinforcing the evolving urban character of Brisbane’s inner west” the architectural statement read.

Adsett has delivered several projects since branching out into property development. He recently completed Rockpool Rainbow Bay, one of the most architecturally striking buildings in the area, as well as luxury apartment development in Moffat Beach
