Breezeway Housing

by  Cameron Changuion

Breezeway Housing fosters social cohesion through medium-density living at Kangaroo Point. Three buildings frame a central courtyard, linking gardens, parklands, and communal facilities. Adaptive reuse, co-working spaces, and learning programs create a flexible, inclusive environment where residents connect, engage, and grow together, redefining sustainable, people-centred housing in Brisbane.

Kurilpa Community Centre

by  Sarah-Jane Foxton

A heritage-led reimagining of Kurilpa Hall and the 97-year-old Kurilpa Library, this project transforms both buildings into adaptable civic spaces shaped by human-scale occupation. Guided by tabula plena, the design preserves embedded character while blurring inside and out—inviting learning, gathering, and everyday community life.
