The project is designed to maintain a low-rise profile for the subject site at 77 Denver Road, Carseldine also known as “Comfort Inn North Brisbane,” with the buildings reaching a maximum height of three storeys or 9.5 metres.
The site layout features the two buildings positioned to optimize space and usability. The three-storey Building 1 will occupy a central location on the property, complemented by a newly planned recreational area and a swimming pool. Meanwhile, Building 2, a two-storey structure, is set to front Denver Road, creating a welcoming street presence.
To enable this redevelopment, several existing structures will be removed. This includes the demolition of eight existing rooms, the central row of six units, and the north-south circulation pathway that runs through the site. The existing swimming pool will also be replaced to accommodate the updated recreational facilities.
Designed by Sheltaco, the proposal incorporates 76 on-site car parking spaces, ensuring sufficient parking for guests and staff alike. Waste management will be handled with on-site refuse collection, ensuring convenience and maintaining the site’s cleanliness.
