Admire the new skyscrapers with their ornateshapes and bold solutions? Then you will be interested to get acquainted with the Australian project of the brilliant Zaha Hadid, “tied” to the picturesque bank of the river in Brisbane. More and more amazing skyscrapers are being built in the world. Most of them belong to large corporations that are eager to demonstrate their power and wealth in this way. But there are other interesting projects, for example, Grace on Coronation by Zaha Hadid, which we will get to know better today. This residential complex, consisting of three skyscrapers, will be built by the end of 2015. Located on the bank of the river in Brisbane, the cone-shaped buildings include 486 apartments and 8 villas. The budget of the project was 420 million Australian dollars, which are aimed at the development of one of the areas of Brisbane with the funny name of Toowong (translated as “inner west”).
By the way, the area of green spaces thatadjacent to the Grace on Coronation complex, will be 7,300 square meters. The building design tapers downwards to minimize its presence and maximally open the waterfront to the public, creating a dynamic space for the citizens of Toowong within the confines of a riverside park.
Zaha Hadid Each of the towers will havemulti-level façade structure. Made of glass and wrapped in reinforced concrete elements, it is like a flower, wrapped in petals that are located close to each other at the bottom, and open up at the top and create beautiful outlines.
Also aimed at improving the environmentalsituation, this project will be implemented on the site of the headquarters of Australia's ABC Radio Network, where in 2006, 17 workers were diagnosed with breast cancer due to elevated radiation levels. By the time construction began, these levels had already stabilized. Incidentally, despite the global demolition of old buildings, one of the oldest residential buildings in Brisbane - a single-storey house Middenbury - will be preserved as a cultural heritage and will become part of the new development.
