ARIA complete Trellis, sustainable South Brisbane apartment development
ARIA Property Group has completed Trellis, one of its most sustainable Brisbane apartment developments to date.
Trellis, in South Brisbane, was sold out of all 110 apartments well before its recently completion by McNab to designs by Rothelowman.
ARIA focused its sustainable initiatives in four key areas: apartments, landscaping, water, and electricity.
Queenslander-style balconies wrap around each apartment for natural airflow and ventilation, accentuated by generously proportioned floor plans, three-metre high ceilings, and timber flooring. Cross-flow ventilation corridors, operable architectural screen doors and double-glazed glass reduce reliance on ducted air-conditioning.
Living areas transform into seamless indoor and outdoor spaces with the flush balcony via operable glazing.
The distinct rooftop of the building, with its various lifestyle amenities, is crowned by a trellis-like structure from extended columns and floating beams—featuring over 4,000 plants and over ninety-four climbers ascending across the layered facade to improve biodiversity, cooling the building and reducing the heat island effect. The rooftop features a 25-metre infinity pool and hot and cold magnesium baths.
Aria is incorporating 60,000L of rainwater tanks to capture as much rainwater as possible to irrigate planting, while they are also aimin to offset 100 per cent of common area electricity costs through solar panels and storing power through Tesla battery wall chargers.
The building will also provide a Tesla vehicle for resident use, and all parking spaces will feature infrastructure for future electric charger installation.
An open-plan conservatory replaced a traditional podium. The open-plan conservatory homes a lead residents through a cascading water wall to the Temple of Wellness, a fully equipped fitness centre and meditation zone with weights, pilates reformers, cardiovascular equipment and meditation pods. Aria Living also offers complimentary group yoga and group personal training fortnightly.
The $60 million project, which also features a private wine bar and lounge, a resident wine cellar, and a boardroom and podcast room, sits on Edmondstone Street, located adjacent to Musgrave Park, one of Brisbane’s oldest and most iconic parklands.
