Frank Developments has unveiled its recently approved Ducale development at Teneriffe, Brisbane.
The BYculprit-designed inner-city project was scaled back from initial plans and is being developed in partnership with Epoca Property Group.
Ducale would comprise 26 apartments and a family and future-focused design, according to Frank Developments managing director Frank Licastro.
“Ducale will include an operable rooftop landing pad dedicated to drones to meet the evolving needs of residents as drone delivery services advance,” Licastro said.
“[The project has] been thoughtfully designed to encompass five double-storey, three-bedroom apartments with dual living spaces and two outdoor entertainment areas.
“We continually strive to future-proof our developments and anticipate how sustainability, technology and lifestyle will shape our lives in the years ahead.”
The eight-storey slender apartment block would include a rooftop swimming pool and entertainment area, gym and views to the Brisbane River and the city. Work from home meeting rooms and hot desks will also be provided to residents.
BYculpriit co-founder Luke Henderson said the architectural palette took its cues from the colour and textures of Brisbane vernacular and the river, merging Italian heritage with lush landscaping.
“Ducale’s slender vertical form rests lightly on the urban streetscape deviating from the typical podium-style architecture and establishes a more graceful architectural outcome,” Henderson said.
“It’s a modest yet elegant addition to Teneriffe, diverging from the conventional podium-style architecture to establish a more graceful architectural outcome.”
Licastro said he would be breaking ground on the project at 33 Wyandra Street early next year and has begun registrations ahead of a launch to market.
