Wintergarden by himmelzimmer

ArchiPro Project Summary - A stunning 4,000m2 façade at Wintergarden Shopping Centre, Brisbane, showcasing a unique interplay of colors and textures, designed to create an engaging retail experience and vibrant lifestyle destination in the heart of the city.

Title:: Wintergarden
Architect:: himmelzimmer
Category:: Commercial/; Landscapes

The Wintergarden façade is a radically experiential composition, a complex and beautiful study of nature, geometry and layering that communicates the rich diversity of life.

The brief for the new facades to the three street frontages of the Wintergarden Shopping Centre in central Brisbane required the creative application of a coherent identity and architecturally holistic sensibility in order to realise a multitude of intentions – to create an entertaining and engaging retail experience, a lifestyle destination and a ‘most-go-to’ meeting place and thoroughfare – at the heart of Brisbane’s city centre.

Every panel and layer in the 4,000m2 façade has a unique design that is fully expressed through the dynamic, experiential interplay between a considered but expansive palette of colours and a rich language of cutting, scoring, folding and lighting all of which coalesce as a rich, coherent, cultural experience.

himmelzimmer. himmelzimmer is an architectural design practice in Melbourne dedicated to investigating an architecture that evolves from a continuous dialogue of imaginative and practical thinking. As a studio we need to be able to define what building/design we aspire to the most:For us this is ‘a room in the sky’, a ‘himmelzimmer’. From its open window we can see the endless sky encouraging us that our ideas should be dream-like without boundaries. With its window closed we can focus on the work on our desk in front of us, the technical delivery of our ideas. All our designs evolve from the dialogue of these two perspectives which are both essential in the delivery of well-executed buildings that inspire and transcend the ordinary. Our work is at its most successful where our window to the world is in a constant state of in-between, where it is simultaneously closed and open. We started in 2003 as studio505. Following studio505’s closure in 2016 we are continuing our work as himmelzimmer
