heritage & architecture

The Brisbane aesthetic is a mix of award winning modern architecture and classic designs from as far back as our colonial times. From museums that were built by convicts and housed Generals, to the Brisbane City Hall that holds the city’s museum, Brisbane is rich in a history that can be traced by simply walking around the CBD. And, as one of the fastest growing cities in the world, our innovation and creativity has seen exciting new designs emerge to contrast the old and define the style of our city.
