The design and lifestyle vision for Zahra.
New Farm is to create an iconic Brisbane riverside address that achieves quality and durability through exceptional design. The landmark development, innovatively designed by Cottee Parker Architects, harnesses a sophisticated boutique aesthetic that integrates with the surrounding landscape. Its minimalistic and pared-back approach features a subtle, uncluttered palette that links the exterior and interior elements of the 22 luxury residences.
The building’s external facade creates an intimate scale to personalise each individual dwelling, with a material palette of zinc cladding and bespoke gold aluminium screening and glass - a design feature that works to communicate a timeless, and stylish aesthetic.
The development also offers a diverse range of communal spaces designed to create a cohesive community, including an undercroft pool area, private dining and cinema room and a rooftop haven, with stunning river views, for yoga and contemplation.
Location 55 Oxlade Drive, New Farm, Queensland

Project Contact Sandra Browne - Director
Cottee Parker transforms cities and shapes moments. Our Australasian practice has a global perspective, with architects, interior designers, digital engineers and visualisers balancing the commercial and the creative.
We value relationships and collaborations. This sentiment has grown up through the practice, when childhood friends and architects Geoff Parker and Rob Cottee founded the company in 1989. Today, their perspective has shaped the way our practice delivers projects and interacts with our industry.
As city shapers and experience makers, we are cognizant that good design is founded in commercial rigor, and it’s this reason that Cottee Parker is considered a trusted partner to realize our client’s ambitions throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Over the last few years, our hallmark projects include 34 Shortland Street in Auckland, Wanaka Central in Queenstown, West Side Place in Melbourne, The Ritz-Carlton at Elizabeth Quay in Perth and The Queen’s Wharf Integrated Resort Development in Brisbane.
