Five Mile Radius

Five Mile Radius is opening its workshop for Brisbane Open House, offering a rare look inside a working architecture and fabrication studio. This is not a polished showroom, but an active space filled with reclaimed materials, prototypes, and experiments in progress. Expect concrete waste being reworked, stacks of salvaged timber, steel fabrication, pigment testing, and one-off pieces at various stages of making.

Visitors will be guided through the workshop and studio, with the team sharing how materials are sourced, tested, and transformed into buildings, interiors, and furniture. The tour offers a hands-on insight into circular design in practice…less theory, more process.

Founded in 2016, Five Mile Radius works across architecture, interiors, and fabrication, using reclaimed and locally available materials to create durable, commercially viable outcomes. Their approach is grounded in a strong network of local suppliers, demolition partners, and material streams, enabling access to resources others overlook and allowing the studio to develop innovative, place specific solutions for each project.

To date, Five Mile Radius have diverted over 85 tonnes of construction waste from landfill and delivered more than $20 million in circular economy focused work across South East Queensland.
