One One One Eagle Street, Office skyscraper in Brisbane's Riverside Precinct, Australia
One One One Eagle Street is a 54-level office tower in Brisbane's Riverside Precinct with a glass exterior and an external skeleton of columns that branch upward across its facade. A public plaza at ground level contains dining facilities and connects the ferry terminal to the central business district.
The tower stands on the site of the former Indigo House, demolished over six months from 2008; 95% of its waste was recycled or reused. Leighton Contractors built the Cox Rayner-designed skyscraper, which topped out on 18 May 2011 and welcomed its first tenants in July 2012. The project cost $700 million.
The building takes design cues from the growth patterns of local fig trees that grow near the site. This connection to nature influences how visitors experience and move through the public spaces.
The ground-level plaza is freely accessible on foot with dining options and public seating that link directly to the city's main transport nodes. It works best as a stop when using the ferry or exploring the business district nearby.
After dark, an LED system illuminates the external columns in patterns that resemble natural root systems. This nighttime lighting transforms the building into a living art installation.
