JAYSON + MICHAEL’S HISTORY BEFORE BLIGHT RAYNER

One One One Eagle Street

Brisbane, 2008-12

A 54 level office tower often cited as epitomising sub-tropical commercial architecture in Brisbane. The tower’s unique tree-like structure is a solution to a constraint on where columns could be placed due to existing encumbrances on the site. Based upon an algorithm called ‘growing toward the light,’ the structure has a reciprocal relationship with Brisbane’s two iconic fig trees fronting the site. Due to the inherent stability of the tree structure, the columns toward the top of the tower are only 300 mm square and maximise panoramic views out.
