The Tannery, West End

Designed by Cottee Parker, with interiors by Tom Mark Henry, the architecture continues the dialogue between past and present. Drawing on the scale, materiality and character of the historic Dixon Tannery, it reinterprets the site’s industrial heritage through a contemporary residential lens.

Layered greenery, deep setbacks and carefully framed outlooks create a sense of privacy and retreat, while dedicated wellness and restorative spaces bring a deeper sense of calm to everyday living. Together, they create a sanctuary within one of Brisbane’s most dynamic and evolving postcodes.

Developed and Built by McNab, The Tannery brings development vision and construction expertise together under one integrated team.
