Brisbane Development: 23 Storey Residential Tower ‘Bloom’ Proposed for Coronation Drive Site.
A development application has been lodged with Brisbane City Council for a 23 storey residential tower at 355 Coronation Drive and 6 Lang Parade, Auchenflower, with the project being both proposed and designed by Joe Adsett Architects.
The proposal seeks approval for a material change of use for multiple dwellings, comprising 90 apartments, along with building work assessable within the Floor Overlay. The site occupies a highly visible corner at the bend of the Brisbane River and is positioned between Coronation Drive and Land Parade, adjacent to the Bicentennial Bikeway and within walking distance of the Milton ferry terminal.
According to the planning assessment prepared by Mewing Planning Consultants, the development would deliver a high density residential outcome supported by an activated ground plne, publicaly accessible landscaped areas, and communal rooftop facilities. The application is impact assessable and subject to public notification
The architectural response, according to Joe Adsett Architects, draws inspiration from the movement of the Brisbane River and the subtropical character of Coronation Drive. The tower is expressed through curved balcony edges, layered facades, and integrated planting intended to soften the building’s scale while maintaining a strong presence along the river corridor.
At ground level, the proposal includes a landscaped lobby, publicly accessible outdoor garden area, and a corner dedication to improve pedestrian and cycle connectivity. The landscape concept prepared by Andrew Gold Landscape Architecture outlined a layered subtropical planting strategy, incorporating canopy trees, understory planting and deep planting zones along both street frontages.
Overall, the proposed tower would comprise of a mix of 90 two and three bedroom apartments across 18 levels above basement parking for 158 resident and 14 visitor vehicles across four levels plus the ground floor.
