IN THE ARCHITECTS WORDS
Cutting Edge Post, by Richard Kirk Architect, is a 4500 square metre building for Australia's leading film and television post-production company. Strategically located at the south-western corner of the Brisbane City Frame, the prominent site fronts the Brisbane River and Davies Park at West End. The design responds to this site by addressing the landscape and views to the Kurilpa Reach of the river. Constructed of white insitu concrete and zinc wall cladding, the

four-level building has a significant two-storey wall of operable blinds on the river elevation. The diverse functional brief includes audio editing rooms, sound recording booths, studio spaces, multimedia suites, digital editing suites, visual effects suites, a 40-seat theatrette, a feature film mix theatre and a large staff restaurant. All building servicing is exposed to allow the inevitable modification and retro fitting, which will follow changes in technology.
