Vaucluse | bureau^proberts

Vaucluse enhances the eclectic subtropical character of New Farm’s Oxlade Drive, integrating with the evolving streetscape and river edge. The design prioritises the preservation of the significant Moreton Bay Fig Tree and emphasises responsible densification. Ground-floor spaces and apartments align with Oxlade Drive to foster a sense of community and passive street surveillance. The architecture features integrated natural landscapes, including planted balconies and pocket gardens, contributing to a cooling microclimate. Focused on sustainability, Vaucluse ensures natural light, ventilation, and cross-ventilated walkways to reduce reliance on air conditioning. The use of enduring materials, water recycling, and the collaboration with consultants reflects the project’s commitment to environmental responsibility. Vaucluse’s thoughtful approach embraces Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” ethos, enhancing the area’s vibrant identity while respecting the surrounding environment, offering lasting, positive impact on the New Farm peninsula.
