The Building

The name “Riparian” is derived from Latin origins meaning “on or pertaining to the riverbank” and reflects Brisbane’s respect and affection for its river. With its 45 degree orientation to the waterfront, Riparian Plaza is perfectly designed to parallel the Brisbane River and to preserve and promote views from all working and living spaces.

Riparian Plaza did not set out to be the tallest building in Brisbane. Instead, the objective was to develop a significant building on an important parcel of riverfront land. The outcome resulted in the first dramatic expression of changing use in a high-rise building in Australia.

Riparian Plaza has become an architectural landmark that has set the benchmark in architectural expression, construction engineering, environmental design and innovative “smart” technology.

Designed by Harry Seidler, Riparian Plaza has 48 exclusive residential apartments commencing on the 41st floor. Residents enjoy private access to the 1,100m2 recreational floor, comprising of a heated 25 metre waveless pool, gymnasium, spa, sauna, BBQ and function room.

Residents also enjoy the convenience of services such as a dedicated 10 metre high lobby facing the river, concierge service, 24 hour security, shared goods lift and state of the art telecommunications facilities.

The Apartment

The location and alluring building design inspired internationally renowned architect Noel Robinson to request a bare apartment and design the interior himself.

Individual and unique, the residence counters the modernist exterior – made of curved, cantilevered balconies – with a sleek, contemporary interior. A fusion of light and texture was created with French Oak parquet floors, French limestone tiles, and custom chocolate stained Grey oak cabinetry.

Emphasising the curvilinear living space is a custom built curved wall tapering towards the entrance. This feature wall, coupled with the 2.7 metre nominal ceilings and floor to ceiling frameless glass doors balance the living space with the unfurling views of the Brisbane River.

At 39 levels above the river, residents enjoy private access to the waveless pool and gymnasium and spa. Residents also enjoy the convenience of services such as concierge and 24 hour security.

Riparian Plaza is ideally situated to take advantage of the city’s best; shopping, restaurants, cultural precincts and all modes of transport infrastructure. To live in Riparian Plaza is unparalleled.
