Bates Smart has a 170+ year legacy of transforming cities and regions across Australia. Our Brisbane team has recently established a permanent studio base in the Old Mineral House, the charming heritage building steps away from the Botanic Gardens and Brisbane River.

The new Bates Smart studio honours the unique personality of Old Mineral House, and celebrates the people that form our team. The space is a blueprint of Bates Smart: collaboration, innovation and design rigour. It’s a warm and tactile expression of our culture, our context and our rich history – all of which we love sharing with visitors.

During Brisbane Open House, we invite you to join us at the Bates Smart studio, where we will share a glimpse into our team’s creative process. Visitors can explore behind-the-scenes of our current and finished projects, including the award-winning Rivière Residences. Our team will share insights into Rivière’s distinct design, which captures the uniqueness of its clifftop site and harnesses Brisbane’s subtropical climate.
