The Emerson Edition

Foreword

Effortless. Timeless.

Nestled in parkland, The Emerson Edition overlooks the seventh fairway of a new, fi nely manicured golf course.

Juxtaposed against this beautiful, natural backdrop, the design draws on the classic style of mid-century architecture while

still embracing contemporary Brisbane living. The result is a collection of �5 residences of unprecedented space and quality

on a grand scale, masterfully crafted by Azure.

An Interview with the Architect:

Shane Plazibat

Both Plazibat and Azure share a fondness for the clean aesthetic, straight lines and open

spaces of mid-century architecture. The lead architect talks about how this style

has informed the design of Emerson.

Mid-Centurymeets

New Century

Q — When we think of the classic mid-century look, we think of the minimalist houses which lined golf courses in Palm Springs in the 1950s. How have you updated that style for Minnippi?

One of the things that interests me is creating architecture that deals with the climate we live in. So we’re taking that mid-century ethos, and adding ideas of tropical design and 20�8 architecture.

Q — This is a unique site. How has it informed the design?

The residences are surrounded by a landscape of bushland on the west and north, with the golf course on the east. On that side, there is just a low-lying fence, so it’s a boundary, but not a visual impairment. We wanted to blur the line between the golf course and our property, to add to the sense of space through the vistas.

Q — There is also a connection to the internal garden?

That’s right. Each residence has its own internal green courtyard which is surrounded by glass. This is an unexpected space, because it doesn’t reveal itself immediately when you enter. But its advantage is that it allows natural light to fi ll the living spaces from two sides.

Q — Coming back to the mid-century aesthetic, how has that style’s use of tones and textures inf luenced you?

One example would be the stone base around the exterior, which was used by many of the architects we admire from that period. It’s a material that has a timeless quality to it and still looks great today. Now a rigid interpretation of mid-century design can be quite austere, and we wanted to bring more warmth into our homes. So that’s why we have timber cladding on the outside, and timber fl oors running through the interiors. The lushness of the landscape also softens some of the mid-century design elements.

Q — So the architecture takes on its own identity?

Exactly. It’s more than a homage. Ultimately we’re creating living spaces with fl exibility for the people who will live here. It’s a family home I’d be happy to live in now, and which I know will still look great in another 50 years.

Function & Form

A natural sense of fl ow between the gardens, through the living, dining and kitchen areas, is a hallmark of mid-century design, updated here with very generous areas.

Large expanses of glass in the living room provide clear lines of sight to the private outdoor terrace and

green expanses of the golf course beyond.

"Again I saw, again I heard,The rolling river, the morning bird;

Beauty through my senses stole,I yielded myself to the perfect whole."

Ralph Waldo EmersonLecturer, Essayist, Poet

I yielded myself to the perfect whole."

More than urbanpleasures – Minnippi offers

an escape of greeneryand tranquillity.

Emerson is nestled next to a carefully landscaped golf course and close to the wide expanses of the Minnippi Parklands. Living here means enjoying calming scenes

and tranquil surrounds every day, far away from modern pressures without being far away from the

modern life of Brisbane’s inner city.

NaturalBeauty

Minnippi Parklands Just moments from home, the Minnippi Parklands provide a range of walking and cycling tracks for the active, as well as picnic tables and barbecues for those after a gentler pace in the great outdoors. At the heart of this tranquil space, a lotus-covered lagoon is a hidden oasis surrounded by a lush, natural environment.

Brisbane has been described as a New World City, with a growing epicurean scene of

restaurants, cafés and bars at an international standard.

1889Enoteca

Woolloongabba Housed within a heritage building, this hatted restaurant serves contemporary Italian fare with an extensive wine list. One of several culinary destinations that have raised the profi le of Woolloongabba in recent years, it off ers a wine bar, basement level of private dining and a carefully selected wine store. With bottles lining the walls from a wide range of rare and artisan producers, a perfect pairing is always close at hand.

ElectricAvenue

Woolloongabba With a throwback aesthetic that references Woolloongabba’s antique precinct identity, Electric Avenue off ers lunches, dinners and drinks served with eff ortless casual fl air and just a dash of fi ne dining. Set within an antique itself – the abandoned Crosstown Public House – the eclectic menu runs from duck breast in the 50-seat bistro to burgers at the bar, as well as signature cocktails and a long wine list.

Urbane

New Farm

Brisbane City

A modern icon of the Brisbane dining scene, with numerous awards and a substantial reputation to its name, Urbane is known for its exceptional degustation menu and impeccable service. There’s a minimalist quality to the décor refl ected in the fare, where the seasonal elements of an evolving menu are presented in pared back and always inventive fashion. It’s little wonder this CBD restaurant has loyal fans continuing to come back time and again to taste what’s new.

An intimate neighbourhood kitchen. A rooftop restaurant. A classic Queenslander reborn. Spicers is many things for the Brisbane gourmand, not to mention the guests staying within the boutique accommodation quarters. This is the ideal place to enjoy a glass of something crisp on the verandah with panoramic views over picturesque New Farm.

UrbaneUrbane

GoMA

South Bank The architecture of the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) is just as inspiring as the artworks found inside. Both monumental and welcoming, international yet local, the building is a landmark within Brisbane’s cultural precinct. This vibrant riverside area is also home to the Queensland Museum, Queensland Art Gallery, and State Library of Queensland, which all provide a constantly changing and expertly curated program of world-class exhibitions and events.

Riverside

Brisbane River In many ways, this city is defi ned by the Brisbane River, as it separates the north and south banks and winds through various inner-city precincts, each with their own sense of character. From the natural attractions of Kangaroo Point to the lifestyle destinations of South Bank and the dining precinct of Eagle Street Pier, a CityCat provides easy access to every point of interest by the water.
