The Cliffs

Ellivo Architects as Architects

Brisbane has flourished in recent years with a flux of development that takes advantage of the Brisbane River and the amenity that comes with living close to the city heart. This has created a demand for smaller scale, more boutique developments as an adjunct the many large scale towers.


“The Cliffs” is an example of the evolution of this new apartment typology. The design objective is to provide a high quality living environment which combines the convenience of inner city living with the quality and attention to detail of an individual house.


The result is seven residences over four levels, with private lift access and city views to the north. Living spaces flow to the generous decks through bifold doors. The two apartments per floor arrangement allows for full cross ventilation of the apartments, reducing the need for air conditioning. “The Cliffs” offers living spaces that are a haven for the residents from the activity of the area whilst contributing to the diversity of the immediate area.


Smaller scale development of this type provides a choice for those seeking “quality over quantity” with an appreciation of design resolution, quality finish and detail.


Common facilities for the residents include a large pool deck area, gym, bbq and associated deck spaces. The penthouse includes its own roof top pool and bar area.


Externally, stone cladding combined with Alucobond panels and Evergreen glazing articulate the façade. The material selections are low maintenance and understated.
