Alexandra Buchanan Architecture

Reside

New Farm, Brisbane

Reside is a boutique multi-residential project located on Sydney Street in New Farm, occupying one of the remaining undeveloped sites within the precinct.

The building comprises three independent dwellings designed to operate with the spatial qualities of houses, prioritising openness, scale and separation rather than conventional apartment typology.

The architectural response is informed by the Art Deco character of the surrounding context, reinterpreted through a restrained material palette of steel, brick, timber and concrete expressed in a contemporary composition.

The building is organised to respond to the subtropical climate, with openings and transitional thresholds that extend living spaces towards the exterior and establish a layered relationship with the street and surrounding landscape.

Upper-level communal circulation is conceived as a shared externalised spine, introducing light and ventilation while reinforcing a sense of openness within the building.

Internal spaces are oriented towards surrounding tree canopy views and structured to balance spatial generosity with material restraint.
