No 1 Anzac Square

Project Overview

No1 ANZAC Square is one of the most significant land holdings in the heart of the Brisbane CBD comprising three office buildings with over 52,000sqm NLA on a centrally located 5,500sqm site opposite Central Train Station and adjoining the Brisbane Golden Triangle office precinct.

PRAX Studio has been engaged by the owners AsheMorgan to deliver ongoing upgrades and refurbishments to this iconic Brisbane property. In an earlier role with Architectus, PRAX Director Stephen Pratt led the design for the transformation of the precinct in a $25 million renovation and extensive urban renewal project which was completed in 2021.

Architecturally, it was a challenging design to resolve – three buildings of very different character overlooking arguably Brisbane’s most sacred public space. Our response was to reinterpret the existing elements using a classic, minimalist palette of high-quality materials such as large format marble to uplift and unify the presentation of all three buildings across the three interconnected foyer levels.

Across the precinct more than 6,000 plants were included with two mature trees, 180m² of green walls, 18 suspended planters and two water features. To further complement the amenity and focus on health and well-being, are two independant five-star end-of-trip facilities.

The centrepiece of the development is the central glass atrium – a soaring five-storey-high open space that forms the new heart of the precinct.
