At every point along the arc of Sunland’s 30 year history, beautifully crafted structures stand like markers defining our journey. Iconographic, sculptural buildings that have changed perceptions
and
changed
people’s
lives.
Enriching
the urban fabric of our communities, they aspire to manifest the connection between design excellence and social engagement. Architectural eminence and differentiation continue to inspire the Group’s creation of landmark environments. The journey is crowned with the advent of Abian. Australia’s finest residential address, in a setting of rare tranquillity, overlooks Brisbane’s historic Botanic
Gardens.
We
invite
you
to
experience
extraordinary calibre and distinction of Abian.

the
Sahba Abedian Sunland Group - Managing Director
The Sunland journey commenced with the creation of a single luxury home, imbued with a pioneering spirit and a tapestry of innovation, to culminate in a singularly original design: expressive, inviting and engaging.
As we commemorate the milestone of 30 years, we reflect on the unique achievements of creating Architecture as Art. Looking back we see the history of the company articulated by beautiful buildings, the markers of the Group’s ongoing evolution: stretching the boundaries, outpacing conventional thinking, designating us as a protagonist in our field. Our journey is the roadmap to the way community can be defined, shaped and engaged to become enduring. Experienced not only individually, but collectively. With the world increasingly aware of the fragility of the concept of community, Sunland is drawn towards the ancient Japanese fable of Kintsukuroi: the art of repairing pottery with gold and appreciating that it is more beautiful for having been brought together. Kintsukuroi is an allegory for the finest qualities of community — cooperation and reciprocity, manifested through interconnectedness. The Group’s visionary philosophy took flight three decades ago, advancing with foresight and a commitment to architectural excellence, differentiation and clarity of thought. Through our nuanced understanding of the people’s hopes and dreams, we continue to be at the forefront of creating vibrant communities. Sunland,
in
collaboration
with
Wood
MarSh
Architects,
has
been inspired to present Abian as a turning point in Brisbane’s architectural evolution, a beautiful and extraordinary work of art that redefines the very notion of what a residence can be.

We are all drawn to lively spaces, where a fascinating cast of characters — the people who share our city — create tableaux that change by the minute. We gravitate towards central meeting places; the park bench most popular is the one that faces a crowd. With the stimulus and emotion of the fast-paced city creating a multi-sensory cocktail, it is the feeling of engagement that’s so intoxicating. That exhilaration, connectedness, adventure. That feeling of play.
Contemporary Brisbane is a city enjoying astonishing urban revival, with the thrill of discovery drawing more and MORE people to make their homes in its heart. The rich mosaic of its cultural life is amplified by a stunning food scene. Long-forgotten laneways are being reclaimed and reinvented as exciting dining destinations. The centrepoints of the city’s intellectual energies, South Bank’s theatres, concert hall, museum and the magnificent Gallery of Modern Art, line the river’s edge directly opposite the CBD. Worldclass exhibitions, displays, festivals and musical performances are the vehicles for life-enriching experiences. Located in Alice Street, the new dress circle of the inner city, Abian offers privileged entrée to the most enlivening engagement with the city.
An imaginative response to an unrivalled site, in a city awaiting an
architectural
sensibility
that
parallels
its
current-day
sophistication, Abian unveils itself as a paradigm for graceful living.
Abian’s delicately curvilinear form is a compelling contrast to the surrounding precinct and brings distinguishing character to the city skyline. 147 luxury residences of extraordinary calibre, status and style inhabit its 40 levels. These superbly appointed one, two, three and four bedroom apartments, villas and penthouses are perfected by matchless views of the Botanic Gardens, the river and beyond. Intimate refuges, directly connected with their context. A continuously curving façade gives Abian extraordinary sculptural presence, creating unique perspectives from each vantage point. Reflective pewter glass sheathes the exterior. A draping, pleated canopy is the start of an unfolding visual experience, drawing residents and visitors in past the almost-transparent frontage to the lobby. Here, a suspended gold leaf ceiling and striking fluted walls, stunningly reminiscent of a stage curtain, give the first indication of the design excellence within.
The journey of discovery continues through fluid spaces, given emphasis by the counterpoint of light and shade. In private areas such as the residents’ lounge, brighter colours give way to the intimacy

Abian’s wonderful location, at the entrance to the city’s historic Botanic Gardens, is a rare advantage. Step outside into 20 expansive hectares of tall trees, native and exotic plants, lawns and ornamental pond. In comparison, the landscape artistry of the Abian tower embraces refined minimalism, an

Japanese fan pattern unifies the surfaces across the site and green vertical fingers of creeping fig on the walls add softness. Even the carpark entry enriches everyday life, transformed into an elegantly arched arbour clothed in cascading wisteria.
A residential tower of presence and distinction, Abian harmoniously brings together the gardens and the sky.
Abian’s street presence showcases an aesthetically distinctive form, enriching the experience for everyone at ground level.
