Architects north and lahznimmo architects were engaged by Hinchinbrook Shire Council to provide Design Consultancy Services for Stage 2 of the Tyto Precinct development, involving the design and construction of a Regional Gallery, Community Library and Office Space.
Setback from the street to allow for future development, the two volumes of the Gallery and Library are split, to provide through site access from the Town Centre to the Stage 1 development and piazza, and also linked by a large roofed area that provides a third outdoor volume. Shaded and generous the outdoor room allows for open-air gallery openings and community events.

Located at level 12, Aquarius on Strand, this small space is privileged to one of the most sought out ocean views in Townsville. The project brief was to transform a dilapidated rental studio apartment into a luxury apartment sufficiently equipped to support owners occupation on a full time basis. This extraordinary challenge, for a space of only 33 square meters, was met with careful consideration of every inch of space available using a clean and simple palette of finishes and concealed layers of packed functionality.

The Department of Child Safety's new building is the result of a public-private partnership with the aim of providing an attractive, functional and inviting office environment. The design concept was to create a simple, compelling dialog between building and its locality reinforcing the street alignment with a minimum number of 'building parts'. The parts, set in a dynamic and engaging way were then further refined to their optimum functional and climatic performance.
Southpark Terrace is a low rise residential development on the fringe of Townsville's CBD. The total of nine terrace apartments was developed in two separate buildings. The shared courtyard contains concealed common services and parking. The design language is simple, climatically responsive and repetitive, creating an instant sense of familiarity.

"This elegant adaptive reuse of a declining warehouse has resulted in a very serendipitous outcome for an adventurous and insightful young developer. The architect's skill in economically manipulating the existing structure has resulted in great value apartments that have an element of surprise and deliver a quality lifestyle to the occupants."

Riverview tavern is the first building that combines a quality river access with extensive entertainment deck areas and is a significant contributor to the choice and quality of outdoor entertainment in Townsville.
