Torbreck home units, Residential building in Highgate Hill, Brisbane, Australia.
The complex consists of two distinct sections: an eight-story garden block and a fourteen-story tower block located at 182 Dornoch Terrace.
Built between 1958 and 1960, Torbreck marked Queensland's first high-rise residential development, incorporating innovative lift-slab construction techniques for the garden block.
The development established a new standard for Queensland residential living by introducing automated elevators, private garages, and modern household appliances in each unit.
The property contains 150 different apartments, from single rooms to penthouses, with an observatory offering views toward Brisbane city and the Great Dividing Range.
The building features spacious gardens influenced by Californian design, alongside a large swimming pool surrounded by mature palm trees and maintained landscapes.
