Workplace, hospitality and wellbeing come together in Mercedes-Benz Lifestyle, a mixed use project situated along Brisbane’s Breakfast Creek and Brisbane River. The project is aimed at Mercedes-Benz’s clientele, with a full car showroom and workshop across four levels. The new lifestyle precinct also goes beyond to engage with a wider audience through dining, health and wellness, and function offerings.

The design response captures one of site topography, where air, land and sea-styled interiors define and zone the enormous 3900 sqm floorplate. Spaces are carved up for individual office tenancies, coworking and lounging.

The interior detailing reflects a classic Brisbane style aesthetic, expressed through warm and tactile timber finishes, brick tiles and louvres. Floors feature a five-colour palette of brick tiles referencing receding flood waters, while undulating timber batten walls and a curved travertine reception desk further reference the site’s unique topography. A wintergarden located on the north east corner of the building overlooks the greenery of Newstead Park and the river.
