Upper House

Upper House is a multi-residential tower in South Brisbane, Australia. The building delivers 188 new apartments to Brisbane, in an organic form inspired by the Daintree Rainforest. Located only moments away from the heart of the Southbank cultural precinct, the building offers a new quality of inner-urban life - where a connection to nature, resident wellbeing and environmental sustainability align in one expressive form.

The first of its kind, Upper House's double-storey resident amenities known as Wellness Club and Upper Club span two premium rooftop floors. More than 1,000m2 of world-class amenities are designed to foster interaction, build a sense of community and enhance wellbeing. Amenities include infinity pool, spa, saunas, fitness club, yoga studio in and amongst mature tropical landscaping, as well as boardroom, work from home facilities, lounge bar, cinema and private dining and wine cellar.

The building has been positioned on site with consideration to the amenity of neighbouring properties, with generous setbacks to each of the lot boundaries (varying from 3m to 4.8m). Similar care has been taken to ensure internal layouts respond to neighbouring developments and provide privacy to residents whilst still capturing views across the city.

Upper House, situated across Brisbane River from the city’s CBD, began as a vision to celebrate the natural beauty that Brisbane is renowned for, while catering to the collective and individual wellbeing needs of its residents. Together, Aria Property Group and Koichi Takada Architects have created the most desirable inner-city address, which delivers an enviable lifestyle through quality design, the inclusion of nature and a focus on holistic wellness.

“High rise lifestyle has become so detached and disconnected – from the community, from nature, from one another. With Upper House we are looking to challenge that and establish a new model for vertical living that is, at its foundation about connection.” Koichi Takada
