Adelaide Street Brisbane
Client: Meriton Group
Artists: Daniel Templeman & Stuart Green
Brecknock Consulting was engaged by Meriton to curate and project manage public art commissions for Soleil, Brisbane’s tallest residential apartment, located at the corner of Adelaide and Boundary Streets in the CBD. Rising to 74 levels with over 400 apartments, the building is a landmark feature for Brisbane’s city skyline. Brecknock Consulting facilitated a direct commission process enabling the selected artists to work closely with the DBI architectural team. Flux, by Perth-based artist Stuart Green, provides a permeable, ventilating ‘skin’ for the building’s drive-way. The work engages a visual dynamism between negative space and positive form. Collective, by Brisbane-based artist Daniel Templeman, features a grid of box-like clusters lining each side of the building’s Adelaide Street entrance. Each cluster contains a unique box arrangement and the work sets up an intense interplay of repetition and variation within a strict and formal composition.
