Tennyson Reach

Brisbane, Queensland

2005 / 2011

Tennyson Reach is an 11 hectare north facing site on the Brisbane River, 5km south of Brisbane. The development of the disused Tennyson Power Station site will deliver an international standard tennis facility linked to a fully integrated luxury riverfront residential precinct.

The State Tennis Centre will include a 5,000 seat international-standard stadium with a total of 23 International Tennis Federation standard match and training courts.

The 390 luxury apartments in six buildings are set amongst extensive public landscaped parklands, providing public access to this stretch of the Brisbane River for the first time.

The original power station not only provided important design cues for the development, it also suggested materials, some new, and others recycled.
