SETTING A NEW STANDARD
Towering over the city skyline of Brisbane, The Standard benchmarks a new ideal for luxury apartment living, with a landscape to match.
Offering residents the ultimate in highrise indulgence, The Standard by Aria Property Group is one of Brisbane’s latest residential apartment offerings. Featuring a host of amenities including a fully equipped fitness centre, yoga studio, magnesium baths (because, why not), as well as a wellness retreat and media room, The Standard is the first of its kind with this scale of benefits for its lucky residents. But it is the rooftop retreat that truly delights!
Located in the Fish Lane arts precinct of Brisbane, this landmark building not only redefines apartment living but also changes the city skyline with its highly articulated and sculptural facade. Perched high above the city, a communal roof garden provides residents with a lush landscape away from the hustle and bustle of the streets below.
Featuring an outdoor pool surrounded by relaxing daybeds and sunloungers, as well as verdant gardens, large potted trees, conversational seating, dining areas and water features, the rooftop oasis of The Standard is a private Eden of the highest quality.
Putting the green into this greenscape was landscape firm CBD Landscape Construction. This award-winning outfit was responsible for creating the resort-like atmosphere of lush plantlife around the rooftop escape, as well as beautifying the building’s front streetscape.
With Babylonia-style abundance, The Standard’s landscape flows from commercial-quality garden beds and planters, complete with irrigation, from CBD Landscape Construction. A mix of ground level shrubs and grasses combined with soaring mature trees provide privacy and shelter for users as well as visual variety.
The high-calibre softscape on this project was completed under difficult circumstances given the elevated location. Harness work was required to outfit planters, while craning or lugging large quantities of landscape materials to the roof level was a necessary requirement to get the job done. Given the exposure to the elements that this particular location would be subject to, all plants chosen for the project were done so with an eye toward longevity. To round out the landscape, paved edges were laid in swooping swirls to contribute soft curves to the hardscape and complement the circular and curved furniture dotted about the deck.
The front streetscape gives a hint of the oasis to be found on the rooftop, with corresponding greenery framing the front of the building, reaching up to a double-height vertical green wall that runs along the facade of the tower. Starting at the ground level and progressing 31 storeys up to the rooftop garden, this landscape project was a mammoth undertaking by CBD Landscape Construction, but the end result sure speaks volumes.
