A development application has been proposed by Sarazin for two 20-storey residential-led towers which would be known as ‘Nuage’ located at 6 – 18 Wellington Road, Woolloongabba.
Designed by Hayes Anderson Lynch Architects, the curvilinear designed development comprises of 368 apartments as well as seven ground floor retail tenancies.
The South Tower is a larger tower, consisting of 13 apartments per floorplate, with the North Tower accommodating 10 apartments per tower floorplate.
Above the podium on level 5, a sky terrace is planned which forms the base of the towers and features a dog park as well as garden spaces.
On the ground level, an indoor-outdoor arcade is proposed which leads past the retail tenancies featuring subtropical landscaping.
“Nuage Woolloongabba is an architectural vision of soft elegance, inspired by cloud formations, the delight of Australia subtropical climate, and the fine craftsmanship and rich materiality of Art Deco architecture and design. Nuage, meaning “cloud” in French, perfectly articulates the elegant curved glass tower forms floating above the filigree podium.”
“The dual curved towers feature shimmering metallic accents, a homage to the glamour and exuberance of Art Deco. Art Deco emerged in France in the 1920s and was defined by streamlined geometry broken up by curved ornamental elements and the use of ‘man made’ materials. It is associated with luxury and modernity, a celebration of avant-garde geometric forms and beautifully crafted materials.”
“Nuages takes a modern interpretation of the Art Deco style and unites it with Australian subtropical design, resulting in soft curved forms highlighted by a refined and considered material palette.” – Hayes Anderson Lynch
