“Around the world, leading public precincts are constantly evolving and it is the Corporation’s role to oversee, adapt and transform South Bank so it remains relevant, desirable and exciting both publicly and commercially,” This visionary project was devised by South Bank Corporation as a mechanism to innovate public space and stimulate conversation about what a city can and should be. The true nature of the habitation was yet to be seen, and the hope was that performers, artist and audience would use the site in further surprising and unexpected ways.

The existing levels of the site were carefully manipulated to activate a series of opportunities for viewers to sit, stand and assemble and a performer to command attention and take advantage of sight lines. The design approach was to provide multiple opportunities for viewer and performer relationships, both of a formal and informal or incidental nature. The other short-listed firms were Vokes and Peters and Bureau Proberts of Brisbane. Through an invited competition Stukel Stone were selected as the lead consultant to transform South Bank’s aging Arbour View Café precinct into a vibrant, 3-5 year long open-air pavilion and creative space. 2018 WINNER of Award for Planning Excellence Queensland, “Great Place” AwardĢ020 Regional Architecture Awards, Honourable Mention, Small Project ArchitectureĢ020 Queensland Steel Excellence Award, Highly Commended Building: Small projectsĢ019 Australian Urban Design Awards, Shortlistedįlowstate is a 3000sqm urban renewal project which blurs the distinctions between landscape and architecture, theatre and public space.
