Willis Greenhalgh Architects designed the new $43 million Eastwood at Woolloongabba apartment s in Brisbane, the developers Pellicano Group saying they have created edgy architecture that would be at home in Sydney or Melbourne’s trendiest precincts.

The Brisbane-based architects designed the external façade to matche finely detailed bold rectangles of expressed black steel frame, with glass, white and splashes of green.

Willis Greenhalgh Architects’ Adam Formosa said the unique design of the eight-level building gave Eastwood a modern edge, which stood apart on the Brisbane skyline.

“Eastwood has a real dynamic metropolitan design, which will be complemented with extensive sub-tropical landscaping to retain that unique Brisbane feel,” he said.

“Its crowning jewel will be an outdoor cinema deck on the top level, providing panoramic city views and a place for residents to relax and unwind.

“The deck will include a large projection screen and wireless headphones for users, to avoid them disturbing neighbours, along with comfortable beanbag style seating on a lush synthetic turfed deck area, timber-style decking and a cool down shower.”

Formosa said Eastwood had been designed to blend its ‘edgy look and features with affordability’, with a mix of studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments.

“The apartments feature stone benchtops to the kitchens and bathrooms, stainless steel appliances, air-conditioning, large balconies and a minimum of one secure carpark per apartment,” he said.

“A variety of apartments also include city and/or Moreton Bay views, and those that face west feature sliding external sun screens.

“Eastwood has been designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors, through its on-site facilities, design and location, in close proximity to Woolloongabba’s cafes, restaurants and bars, which all make it an attractive place to live.

He said the apartments are being offered at “great value”, priced from $295,000.

The project is being developed by Pellicano Group, whose joint managing director Nando Pellicano said Eastwood would set the trend for development in Woolloongabba.

“This area is earmarked for significant growth in the coming years, which is expected to see it transformed into one of Brisbane’s most stylish precincts, however, at the moment it is among the city’s most tightly held and undersupplied markets,” he said.
