Main Roads Building, Heritage-listed office building in Spring Hill, Brisbane, Australia
The Main Roads Building is a reinforced concrete office structure in Spring Hill, Brisbane, that spans multiple levels and is characterized by expansive glass surfaces. The construction comprises interconnected sections equipped with modern facilities and now operates as a hotel with mixed-use spaces.
The building was completed in 1967 and served as the headquarters of the Main Roads Department for over four decades. Its existence coincided with a period of intense road development in Queensland, as the city expanded beyond its original boundaries.
The building defines Spring Hill's skyline with its modern facade and expansive glass surfaces that flood the workspace with natural light. Visitors notice the carefully maintained gardens surrounding the structure, creating a connection between the building and the green landscape.
The site is easily accessible on foot and provides ample green space for relaxation. Access to the hotel and its facilities is well marked, and the premises offer various amenities for visitors and guests.
Upon completion, this building was Queensland's largest reinforced concrete office structure and required specialized construction techniques. The construction had to be distributed across sixteen separate plots to manage the complex terrain topography.
