Upper House delivers Australia’s first double story rooftop wellness club for residents.

Upper House is inspired by the organic forms of the Daintree Rainforest. Located only moments away from the heart of the Southbank cultural precinct, the building delivers a new quality of inner-urban life - where a connection to nature, quality design, resident wellbeing and environmental sustainability align in one expressive form.

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.

The organic, meandering façade, speaks to the five-story artwork by Australian artist Judy Watson. Bloodlines weaving string and water, 2023, is a perforated metal, folded and backlit artwork that brings to life indigenous history and traditional narrative.
