Brisbane’s first project designed by internationally acclaimed Koichi Takada Architects.
Dramatic architectural features inspired by Queensland's Moreton Bay fig tree create an evocative design statement incorporating dancing balconies, architectural ribbons and Australia’s first double-storey rooftop club.
Enter the Upper Club - the epitome of indulgent living.
Featuring the ultimate selection of entertainment options, soaring 4.0m ceilings and grand finishes, the Upper Club promises to take the rooftop experience to new heights.
The Wellness Club - health and wellness at it's finest.
In a calm and stylish setting, the Wellness Club offers a fully integrated approach to health, fitness and general wellbeing.
Crafted to maximise a sense of height, volume and space, Aria’s first project to feature 3.0m high ceilings will provide a living experience unlike any other. Coupled with Miele appliances and timber floors to all apartments, the most refined apartment offering is now complete.
