Brisbane Architecture : Buildings

Architectural Developments in Queensland, Northeast Australia built environment

post updated 14 January 2025

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Brisbane Building Developments, Queensland. We aim to include projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Queensland. The focus is on contemporary Brisbane buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.

We have 3 pages of Brisbane Architecture selections with links to many individual project pages.

Each datum of the building reflects the changing contextual qualities and eras at each level – ranging from monumental sandstone planes at entry level to minimalist anodized sunshades to the upper western façade.
