Athlete village architects appointed

The Brisbane Athletes Village and Brisbane Showgrounds will be a key part of the Victoria Park Precinct and its design is in the hands of a diverse team of leading local, national and international architects.

This main Athlete Village is slated to house the world’s best athletes in 1,800 apartments, which will be used as permanent housing after the Games, delivering a lasting legacy. Project partners Lendlease and RNA have appointed an architecture collective including Woods Bagot, Cottee Parker, DBI and Plus Studio, in collaboration with UK architectural practice Howells, to lead both the Games-time and legacy design of buildings.

BVN was also appointed to help steer the future of the Brisbane Showgrounds Precinct.

The new event infrastructure is set to cement Brisbane Showground’s role as a vibrant inner-city community and major entertainment destination well into the future.
