Activating at Brisbane’s Games Village 

Empathetic and light in form, The Cullen is a fresh addition to its portside locale. Standing 23 floors tall, the building comprises 50 apartments and a hotel with retail and hospitality offerings activating the ground floor.

An extroverted corner entrance embedded with living greenery welcomes residents and visitors. The engaging threshold promotes connection and outward circulation through this thriving Brisbane destination, an easy distance from the neighbouring Eat Street Markets and the Alcyone Hotel.

Integrated planting and screening conditions soften the building’s industrial-inspired lower volume and interact with trees on the street to impart a distinct sense of place; a slice of nature in an urban context. Shared facilities including a hotel, restaurant, function space, BBQ areas, a lap pool, spa and sauna, as well as a gym, and dedicated resident lounge, support an active, socially connected lifestyle.

Providing external visual interest, strategically placed fins and overhangs frame expansive and diverse views toward the river, while enabling optimal thermal management and shading from the Queensland sun.

The Cullen seamlessly nods to its heritage with contemporary detail, capturing the unique character of its harbourside corner
