Aria Property has taken out the High Density Development Award for its TreeHouse project at the 2023 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) QLD Awards, marking the developer’s fifth national win within the past seven years.
Located in the leafy suburb of West End, TreeHouse is a boutique project of only ninety apartments spanning across twelve storeys. Inspired by the innovative green buildings found throughout Singapore, Aria Property sought to create a contextual and visual response to the Brisbane City Council’s advocacy for greener buildings across the city. Positioned directly opposite Davies Park, TreeHouse’s architectural aesthetic was designed to make residents feel immersed in what it’s like to live in a “tree house” – each balcony sits adjacent to a garden or tree canopy, promoting a strong connection to landscape and enhanced external amenity.
Leading the way when it comes to green innovation, over seventy mature trees have been incorporated throughout the development to deliver a dynamic green façade dominated by the purple flowers of the tibouchina, which bloom sporadically throughout the year providing a burst of colour across the building. The expansive rooftop is heavily landscaped using trees, planting, lawns, water features and hardscape to create a true rooftop garden with each aspect of the roof having a different feeling and function.
Aria Property Development Manager Brent Liddell said it was an honour to have the project recognised by one of the industry’s most reputable associations. “Being recognised by the UDIA is a testament to Aria Property’s commitment to continually achieve the best outcome; each of our projects are extremely curated and designed specifically for their location – TreeHouse is no exception to this. The project’s contribution to both its own community and wider urban fabric ensures its relevance and connection with the surrounding neighbourhood – all elements that have led to the project’s success,” he said.
Residential amenities include a rooftop infinity pool, magnesium bath, private dining room, fitness centre, playground for children and two barbecue spaces. Weekly yoga and personal training are held on the rooftop and quarterly resident events are held to allow residents to meet one another and create a genuine community within the complex.
