QUAY RENOVATION

Following on from a significant urban renewal of the river front Quay Street in Rockhampton, this renovation proposes to utilise this asset and momentum to deliver a unique mixed use development upgrading and restoring a heritage building. The design is broken into four key areas, a retail upgrade to ground face Quay Street, the return of the original central courtyard to bring light and amenity to all the adjacent spaces, the restoration of the heritage residence over and the addition of a laneway apartment to the rear. Each of these zones have been sensitively designed to maximise the value of the existing built fabric and restore a sense of history to all the spaces.

  • A refined palette is proposed with the offset of cooler colours to mediate the extreme summer weather providing an evocative colonial oasis within. Each space retains a classic elegance whilst carefully imbued with contemporary elements to form an integrated timeless approach.
