Towers to create vertical village in Brisbane’s West End

Two complementary apartment towers designed by Rothelowman will be built in Brisbane’s West End, under a planning proposal submitted to council.

Known as Tower 4 and Tower 5a, the towers will both reach to 20-storeys. Tower 5a, which will be built first, will have 95 apartments while its twin will have 110.

According to Rothelowman’s design statement, the towers have been designed to embrace the subtropical climate and the existing character of the suburb. Tower 4 will feature “generous undulating verandas to the north and south… complemented by a folded language with integrated landscaping to terraces on upper levels.” And Tower 5a will reinterpret the surrounding retail precinct as a “vertical village” with each dwelling planned with its own identify but conceived as part of the whole.

Both towers will feature communal rooftops, framed as distinctive architectural crowns.

“It is envisaged that these two residential towers will enhance the West Village precinct and further evolve the pursuit of meaningful quality residential architecture in Brisbane,” the firm says.

Landscape design for the project is by RPS Group.
