Located on the corner of a busy roundabout along Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville, this site offers tenants excellent frontage with convenient customer access. Features include having over 2,000m² of industrial space, the fuel outlet 7-Eleven and the fast food tenant KFC. Although predominately industrial, the design still maintains a strong connection to the environment.

POWE Architect’s concept design and development application for a 100 place ELC, conveniently located opposite the recently completed Town Square Redbank Plains will include landscaped themed playground areas and large shaded areas. The stylised architectural design utilises a range of lightweight cladding materials and a themed coloured matrix palette.

POWE Architects worked in collaboration with csarchitects and Hutchinson Builders to deliver the complex on a tight final programme and with the incredibly high level of finish and style that customers expect from the Palace family of Cinemas. The finished cinema harmonises with the resort feel of the Byron Bay area and the adjacent restaurant precinct also adds to the ambience of this entertainment destination in one of the biggest tourist destinations on the NSW North Coast.

A building re-purposed into office space that is both flexible and supportive to the user, and met budgets and strict time constraints. 

Working within the standard BoysTown fit out requirements and the constraints of budget and time, the dynamic Training and Meeting spaces fulfils BoysTown’s requirement for self sufficient spaces that facilitate formal meetings and collaborative training activities. 

The new Brisbane offices for global infrastructure company Acciona were finished in April 2011 in a D&C arrangement with builder Signature Projects. The $230,000 fit-out project was designed for maximum flexibility to allow the division to upgrade to larger premises in the near future as their business grew in the region.

Acciona occupy the top level of an existing commercial building situated on Creek street, Brisbane. Newly introduced to Brisbane for an awarded infrastructure project, Acciona required maximum flexibility as their team expanded. A tight floor plate area required careful planning to ensure a premium reception was achieved without comprising workstation space, offices or meeting rooms.

Within walking distance of both the Stafford Road shopping strip and the Stafford City Shopping Centre, this medium density apartment project demonstrates our increasing residential density work in proximity to retail centres.

A materials palette with a low impact aesthetic reduces the appearance of massing and the perception of building height from the street. The design also respects the adjoining existing residences by not overcrowding the boundary. Residents’ cars are securely kept in an undercroft carpark which is screened from the street view.

POWE Architects have assisted the client on this project with exploring their development options through a supported schematic and concept design and process. Once the development potential of the site was understood, POWE Architects then worked with the client and their consultant team to produce the development application.

Alderley Square is a large mixed use TOD development comprising of retail, commercial and residential components. An integral part for the marketing and advertising for the project was the development of the Alderley Square Sales Suite. This involved the refurbishment of an existing building onsite to include offices and an accurate replica of one of the proposed apartments for the major project.

This medium density residential development is designed to be constructed in four stages, with the layout arranged to take advantage of the sloping site contours, for views to the nearby lakes and enjoying the benefit of natural breezes.

In addition to two-storey and split-level designs, one unique townhouse layout provides a garage and living area at the first floor level, with bedrooms on the lower level. This townhouse type is used where the site slopes away from the road.

An exciting opportunity to develop a vacant site on Ipswich Road, Annerley along a busy frontage and supporting the surrounding residential catchment. Our client approached us to develop a proposal for a large-format supermarket with customer car parking over two lower levels and servicing at the store level. 

“Thank you for your hard work and efforts over the last 12 months while the [Annerley Supermarket] project has been controlled by Coles. We acknowledge for some, that this has been a longer journey. The level of documentation and the amount of work done to de-risk key components of the project, as best as possible, has been a large factor in getting this project through.”
