Waterfront Brisbane focuses on giving the river back to the city and its people. The vision for the 1.5ha historic site sees the creation of a revitalised city centre riverfront destination with generous civic spaces as a stage for city life.

Arkhefield in collaboration with Arup creates a design for the new Brisbane International Cruise Terminal that is focused on the efficient movement of passengers from kerbside to ship, with an emphasis on positive customer experiences during both embarkation and disembarkation.

The vision of Brisbane Airport Corporation is “to be world-best and the preferred choice for passengers, airlines, business and the community”. Arkhefield, in collaboration with Richards & Spence, were chosen to extend this inspirational vision to a major upgrade of the retail component at Brisbane International Airport—a considerable undertaking in scale and scope.

The 7.1ha site began as Parklands – the official Athletes Village for the 2018 Commonwealth Games – and transitioned to the build-to-rent scheme now known as the Smith Collective, housing approximately 2500 residents.

The River Quay master plan opens an underutilised area of the South Bank Parklands to provide a first class dining precinct and public realm that embraces the sub-tropical lifestyle.

Arkhefield were approached by the Coral Expeditions Cruise Line to design the interiors of their next cruising vessel Coral Adventurer. This approach came because they desired an authentic Queensland character to the interiors, and their research revealed much of Arkhefield’s work met this key criterion.
