River, City and Park Outlooks

Luxury property and construction group Traders In Purple has revealed the second act in its West End story, with the release of Orleton, a development encompassing 157 two- and three- bedroom apartments.

Located alongside Davies Park with panoramic Brisbane River, city and parkland views, Orleton’s curved design has been conceived as a “building in the round.” It’s the first of three buildings that form Davies Place, offering 18 floors of luxury living.

On the rooftop, a landscaped podium will feature a 20m infinity edge pool with river and city views along with a hot and cold plunge pool, yoga lawn, gym and wellness room, bookable dining pavilion, cocktail lawn and residents’ lawn
with barbecue and seating.

Traders In Purple Chief Executive Brett Robinson said Davies Place had a vital role to play given its location alongside one of Brisbane’s most cherished riverfront public spaces.

“The people of West End and inner Brisbane value this precious public space and will have even more to enjoy as we deliver Davies Place,” he said. “Alongside our public contribution, we are creating beautifully crafted apartments on the doorstep of a 6ha park that offer a credible alternative to a house and yard.”

Creating a curved building presented exciting design opportunities for Rothelowman principal Jeff Brown, carving out corners to maximise the number of dual aspect apartments, drawing light and air indoors while expanding view lines.

It is Mr Brown’s fifth collaboration with Traders In Purple. “We have this incredible opportunity to merge urbanism with a much-loved park, balancing architecture with landscaping,” he said. “These apartments are extremely large and liveable. It has a beautiful simplicity to it; garden first, layered, lush, real and raw,”

Careful planning has enabled a collection of corner apartments that expand the views and capture controlled daylight and breezes. “Amazing master bedroom suites frame the outlook and capture a range of aspects spanning the river, park and city,” Mr Brown said. The design also offers a nod to the character of Brisbane’s traditional homes.
