Upper House | Koichi Takada Architects

Upper House is a dynamic, residential high-rise that contributes to the Brisbane skyline in a way that captures the city’s spirit and showcases the distinctive beauty of Brisbane’s tropical landscape. It signals a new era in urban design, where connection to nature, quality design, resident wellbeing and environmental sustainability align.

Visually, ‘architectural roots’, inspired by the native Moreton Bay Fig tree, take us on a journey from Australia’s ancient past at its base in the form of a five Storey indigenous artwork by Judy Watson up to the future of vertical living, where wellbeing and nature are incorporated into high-rise living.

Upper House is an opportunity to encourage dialogue about the past and to reflect on the present. Koichi Takada Architects’ belief is that respect for people and planet should be the building blocks of our future.
