The Prescott is a contemporary architectural expression that is shaped by, and draws inspiration from, its unique context. The multi-residential apartment building is conveniently located in the heart of Toowong, one of Brisbane’s most in demand residential suburbs.
We acknowledge the Turrbal and Jagera people, the traditional custodians of the land upon which The Prescott stands. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
The façade is inspired by the detailing and repetition of the traditional Queenslander – balustrades and awnings were the impetus for the façade treatment and podium design development. A tapestry of balconies, column grids and battens are interspersed with landscape and birdsong. The tower reflects this structural discipline, expressed as a series of posts, columns, slabs and beams.
The apartment layouts are guided by the views and outlooks, with the more premium apartments positioned to look towards the city and river, followed by views to Mount Coot-Tha to the west and north-west. With 101 apartments over 15 storeys, the development offers a unique lifestyle opportunity in the heart of Brisbane.
The Prescott’s breeze block façade references elegant Queensland balustrades, awnings, and podium detailing, creating beautiful shadows on resident’s balconies.
