Set sail on a unique architectural journey along the Brisbane River with Bureau Proberts’ Brisbane River Residential Architecture Tour. This special experience invites you to see the city from a new perspective—one shaped by thoughtful design, urban evolution, and the power of place.
As you glide past the ever-changing skyline, you’ll discover how Brisbane is moving beyond its suburban past. With more people choosing high-quality, architect-designed apartments, the riverfront is fast becoming a canvas for contemporary living. This tour highlights how architecture is not only changing the way we live, but also helping to define Brisbane’s identity in the 21st century.
Guided by Bureau Proberts Creative Director Liam Proberts and special guests, you’ll explore some of the city’s most compelling residential developments—from transformed woolstores to sculptural high-rises—all while cruising along the iconic river that connects them.
The Tour:
Your tour begins at 9:45am at 30 Love Street, Bulimba, where you’ll explore Canvas, an elegant residential project that sets the tone for the morning. From there, we’ll board a chartered ferry at Bulimba at 10.30am and cruise towards South Bank, passing a curated selection of standout projects that reflect Brisbane’s residential transformation, including iconic redevelopments like Dakota, Ansonia, and Saratoga—formerly woolstores and now beautifully reimagined apartments. Other buildings of note, will include the Catalina Houses, Vaucluse, and The Oxlade in New Farm, each offering a unique perspective on modern apartment living.
As we cross to Kangaroo Point, you’ll see striking riverfront developments like Silt, Walan, Thornton and Brisbane One Towers, before concluding with Galleria and the Mantra Hotel South Bank Road (previously Saville South Bank Apartments). Throughout the tour, special guests will provide commentary on the evolving Brisbane River landscape and the role of architecture in shaping its future.
The cruise will conclude at South Bank, where people can continue their BOH experiences.
