Highgate Hill Land - An Architectural Opportunity

Rarely does an opportunity arise to purchase a block of land with approved plans for a house designed by one of Brisbane's most innovative architectural practices; award-winning Nielsen Jenkins. The opportunity is further enhanced by the land being located within the catchment area of the highly regarded Brisbane State High School.

THE ARCHITECTURE

Contemporary in design, yet sympathetic to its surroundings, the house seeks to maximise use of the site, stepping gently down the 274sqm block. Circulation space is tightly controlled and an internal tree-filled atrium, rising up through a vertical void within the house, provides a dramatic focal point to the plan.

"The work of the practice explores key ideas of landscape, subtraction, connections and materiality in order to achieve client specific outcomes that are responsive to context and place. The work of the practice has been published and awarded broadly in Australia and in 2018 Nielsen Jenkins was awarded the Queensland Emerging Architecture Prize". A full set of design and tender drawings/schedules for the proposed house are available upon request.

THE LOCATION

Paradise Street is a quiet tree-lined street, located just 2km from the CBD. It sits within the Brisbane State High School catchment area and is also moments from other elite colleges including, Somerville House, St Laurence's and Churchie. The location is also close to major hospitals and the vibrant shopping precincts of West End, Woolloongabba, and Southbank.

The University of Queensland is short bicycle ride away and you are a few minutes from the hub of Brisbane's cultural and intellectual hub at Southbank. Bus services are located nearby at Lyons Park and there is easy access to major transport arteries and onto the city via Gladstone Road. Paradise Park (Lyons Park) a delightful inner-city park, replete with play equipment and BBQ facilities, provides a nearby "break-out" space for the property.

The block is cleared, with services in place and is ready to build on. Whether you chose to build to the approved Nielsen Jenkin’s plans or have your own architect design the house of your dreams, there has never been a better opportunity to create a home in a tightly held, high capital growth, location. A Floodwise report and map is included in the photos. Based upon the Floodwise report and Architects drgs the lowest habital level of the proposed house sits approx 2.7m over the 2011 flood level.
