Upper House draws inspiration from the natural shapes found in the Daintree Rainforest. Nestled just moments away from the vibrant Southbank cultural precinct, this development is strategically oriented to embrace the captivating Brisbane skyline.

Architecture that echoes the roots of the native Moreton Bay Fig Tree

The building's sculptural 'ribbons' elegantly echo the roots of the native Moreton Bay Fig Tree, gracefully winding along the facade. At the roof level, these ribbons elegantly twist and intertwine, forming a shaded pergola that enhances the generously proportioned recreational and well-being spaces.
