SCOTT STREET
Words: Mikki Brammer.

Not only the newest and tallest building on the city side of Kangaroo Point, Scott Street will also have the most striking contemporary architecture of any building on the fringe of the city. The commanding site overlooks the Brisbane River, directly facing Eagle Street. The tower building, with a concave-trapezoid floor-plan form and curved roof, floats above high raking circular steel columns, and will also have a 40-metre high, dramatically interwoven vine-like sculpture constructed in precast concrete facing the north-east. The sculpture will be seen from many parts of the city and river. Developed by Brisbane developers Waterford Properties, the building design and interior design have been carried out by Sydney architects Jackson Teece. Construction by the Brisbane-based Hutchinson Builders is well advanced and due for completion in April 2010.
