A sculptural riverside sanctuary by Joe Adsett is coming to New Farm

AT A GLANCE:

• No. of Residences: 9
• Estimated Completion Date: March 2027

There’s something special about waking up in New Farm: the soft light off the river, the quiet hum of a neighbourhood that feels both connected and calm.

At Arcilla, that feeling becomes an everyday reality.

Nestled riverside, along Maxwell Street, this limited collection of nine residences captures a beautifully considered way of living. Designed, developed, and built by Joe Adsett Architects, Arcilla feels more like a crafted home than an apartment. Its sculptural form, inspired by the neighbouring Spanish Mission heritage home Neville Court, curves gently into the landscape, wrapped in greenery and finished in warm, natural textures. It’s architecture that feels alive, one that belongs here, and you can call it home.

Nine residences. One masterpiece.

The name Arcilla, Spanish for clay, captures this philosophy perfectly, with the development’s design celebrating earthy tones, crafted textures, and enduring form.

Comprising just nine expansive residences, Arcilla is intentionally intimate. Each apartment feels more like a freestanding home, with large floorplans, three ensuited bedrooms, and flowing living spaces designed for both quiet moments and memorable gatherings. A select few feature fireplaces, wine bars, and curved glass edges framing views across the Brisbane River and city skyline.

Inside each residence, the materiality is calm and grounded. Find Dolomite stone benchtops, European appliances, engineered timber flooring, and floor-to-ceiling glazing that invite a sense of natural light and warmth.

Wellness and calm at home

Downstairs, the rhythm slows.

Arcilla’s residents-only wellness retreat features hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and a private gym with spaces for rejuvenating yoga sessions. Surrounded by lush planting, it’s a space to pause, recharge, and find balance without ever leaving home.

Connected yet peaceful

Arcilla’s position in New Farm means everything you love is close, yet the street remains calm and tucked away.

The New Farm River Walk is just a few minutes from your front door, leading you to Howard Smith Wharves or the Brisbane CBD in a scenic stroll. Sydney Street Ferry Terminal is an eight-minute walk, while New Farm Park – a beloved green haven for locals – is a 17-minute wander away.

It’s the kind of location that lets you choose your pace – riverfront calm or city vibrancy, any day of the week.

More than a place to live, Arcilla is a work of art, the result of Joe Adsett’s vision to create homes that stand the test of time.

With only nine residences available and completion due in March 2027, this is an opportunity that’s as rare as the location itself.

Residences are now selling, each featuring three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two car parking spaces.
