With river walks, cycle ways, parks, boutique restaurants and shops literally on the doorstep, there’s no more convenient location for a residential development than Teneriffe, Brisbane. Just 2.5km from the CBD, the Double One 3 residential building makes the most of the location offering all the conveniences of modern living nestled alongside the old world charm of Teneriffe’s historic buildings.

Consisting of seven residential levels over ground floor commercial premises, a standout feature of the building is the generous balconies enclosed using Alspec’s EndurAl balustrade system. Designed to take maximum advantage of the city, river and district views, the balcony balustrades have been configured with three-sided support and a standoff handrail. As well as providing unobstructed views, the balustrades are engineered to deliver a secure, safe and stylish option that suits both the residential and commercial sections of the development.

The EndurAl balustrade solution has the added advantage of being able to be powder coated to match the selected window and door framing products, which in this project were ProGlide High Performance Sliding Doors, Swan Evo Commercial Doors and Hunter Evo Flush Glazed Framing. The ProGlide doors provide access to the balconies and ground floor commercial premises and their floor-to-ceiling height ensures light and views are maximised. Able to be configured in up to four stacking panels, the doors are known for their high weather performance credentials and durable heavy duty aluminium profile, making them ideal for high use applications in mixed residential/commercial builds such as this.

For hinged or pivoted door requirements, Swan Evo Commercial Doors were the obvious choice. Like the ProGlide doors, they are particularly durable and feature centre pocket glazing which provides enhanced security benefits. Hunter Evo Flush Glazed Framing was used to provide the fixed window componentry. Being one of Alspec’s more versatile framing systems it comes with the option of 101.6mm or 150mm frame depths and can accommodate single and double glazed panels as required.

With the combination of open plan living, luxury fittings and floor to ceiling windows, the Double One 3 development is set to be favourite for both the tenants and owner-occupiers seeking the perfect lifestyle location close to the heart of Brisbane.
