Year / 2024
A blend of Byron Bay simplicity with urban designer edge, this prestigious Aphora Architecture collaboration is Brisbane’s most inspired new residence. Tailored perfectly to downsizers and older families seeking a luxurious inner-city lifestyle, without compromising on a scale of space and privacy they’ve grown accustomed to.
‘Cross Street’ is a celebration of its blue-chip surrounds, while paying homage to the architect’s relaxed coastal origins. Raw natural materials are showcased to their finest, across an intelligent tiered design serviced by an internal lift, to create an experience rather than simply delivering another high-end property.
Three styles of superior quality timber – Abodo, Tasmanian oak and New Guinea rosewood – form the foundation of the exterior and beautifully dress the interior. Their warmth contrasts with feature brick, Victorian Bamstone bluestone crazy paving, polished concrete flooring and fluted glass.
Caribou worked closely with Aphora to cultivate the architectural lighting for the homes. Delivering custom lighting solutions using the core materials of Tasmanian Oak and Stainless Steel. You’ll find these materials represented through the Ochre pendant and the Sneaky surface mounted can lights.
