The Riparian Plaza is Brisbane’s most prestigious skyscraper. Designed by renowned Australian architect Harry Seidler, it incorporates tradition and modern design to outstanding effect. It has won many awards since its completed in 2005 and it was Brisbane’s first mixed-use elite high-rise development, consisting of 53 storeys of office space, retail, accommodation, apartments and car parking. Its diamond shape with rounded and indented corners complement the polished granite at the ground level. exuding luxury and status in the heart of Brisbane’s financial district. The building’s orientation and riverside location take full advantage of beautiful views of the Brisbane River with its iconic Story Bridge and the backdrop of the city skyline. The location is central to shopping, dining and cultural precincts in Brisbane plus it’s close to the finest waterside dining in the city.The shape of the tower has been carefully formed to maximise the outlook for occupants up and down the river. The base sector houses parking, the mid segment is column-free offices and the reshaped top consists of the greatest apartments we have ever designed.Most office spaces have river views, due to the 45-degree angle to the river of the building and the lack of columns on these mid level floors.Each penthouse has its own curvilinear, projecting terrace that faces the river. The cantilevering balconies have a highly sculptured shape. Seidler claimed the composite stacking of sectors vertically is unique in Australia.
