TRCB30 – The Brisbane Hotel, Perth WA
A Perth icon reborn. Located on the prominent flatiron corner of Beaufort and Brisbane Streets, The Brisbane Hotel has served as a social landmark since 1898. Originally built in the Federation Free Classical style, the historic hotel had fallen into decline before TRCB was engaged to reimagine its future.
The refurbishment stripped away later additions to reveal the original building fabric, creating open, interconnected spaces that celebrate the hotel’s heritage character while embracing a contemporary urban identity. Extending into a revitalised courtyard, the design strengthened the venue’s connection to Perth’s climate and outdoor lifestyle while establishing a renewed local destination.
Today, The Brisbane Hotel remains a vibrant community hub – a contemporary reinvention of the classic Australian pub that balances heritage, hospitality and city culture.

TRCB30 – Murdoch University Peel Learning Centre, Mandurah WA
Murdoch University’s Peel Learning Centre marked a defining early milestone for TRCB, delivering the university’s first building within its new Peel campus and establishing a strong architectural presence in the region’s evolving education precinct. As the practice’s first tertiary education project, it set the foundation for future collaborations across every major university in Western Australia.
Positioned alongside Mandurah Senior College and Challenger TAFE, the building was designed as both a landmark and a flexible learning environment, housing the School of Nursing while supporting Murdoch University’s long-term regional expansion. Distinctive curved forms, expressive rooflines and carefully selected materials created an identity that reflects both institutional ambition and the progressive character of the growing campus.
Strongly grounded in passive environmental design principles, the project incorporated solar-responsive orientation, thermal mass, sun shading, natural ventilation and night purging to enhance performance and occupant comfort. A central circulation spine connects adaptable teaching spaces while supporting secure after-hours access, balancing flexibility, functionality and environmental responsiveness. The project remains an important example of TRCB’s early commitment to innovative, sustainable educational architecture.

TRCB30 – His Majesty’s Theatre, Perth WA
A landmark Edwardian theatre reimagined for a new century, His Majesty’s Theatre has been upgraded to transform front-of-house facilities while protecting its State Heritage significance. Delivered within a live operational theatre and challenged by incomplete existing documentation, the project required continual coordination and adaptive design responses.
The works reconfigure circulation across three levels, introducing new and upgraded bars, dining spaces, kitchens, amenities and interconnecting stairs, while re-establishing stronger connections to Hay Street through renewed shopfront activation. A handcrafted Edwardian jarrah bar was dismantled and reassembled on the first floor, reinforcing a commitment to heritage retention and reuse.
A refined palette of timber, brass and fluted glazing complements the original interiors, balancing contemporary intervention with heritage character. The result is a revitalised front-of-house experience that improves patron flow, operational performance and street engagement, while maintaining the theatre’s enduring sense of opulence and cultural significance.

TRCB30 – Raine Square
Raine Square sits at the heart of the Perth CBD – its transformation re-energising an entire city block.

Appointed by Charter Hall alongside , TRCB reinvigorated a complex urban site comprising a three-level retail mall, the Bankwest Tower and a collection of significant heritage buildings. The redevelopment introduced a cinema within the tower podium, along with new laneways and entrances from William Street, improving permeability, legibility and the overall pedestrian experience.

A careful balance of demolition, retention and restoration was central to the project. This included the adaptive reuse of the historic Royal Hotel into a boutique tavern, with its façade restored to reflect its early twentieth century character through reinstated tuck-pointed brickwork, exposed render and a reconstructed verandah.

Delivered alongside Yagan Square and adjacent to Perth’s major transport interchanges, the revitalisation enhances the streetscape, skyline and amenity of the CBD. By celebrating the site’s heritage fabric and embedding strong urban design principles, Raine Square is now a vibrant retail, dining and entertainment destination – and a living part of contemporary city life.

TRCB30 – Mānawa Bay Auckland Airport Outlet Centre
TRCB partnered with Auckland Airport to design and deliver New Zealand’s first ever purpose-built premium outlet centre, a landmark 150,000m2 development featuring more than 100 retail tenancies in a prime location within the Auckland Airport precinct.

Mānawa Bay combines premium fashion, lifestyle and dining offerings within a thoughtfully planned environment. Beautifully fabricated, steel-framed glazing to high shopfronts create a refined and airy, arcade-like environment. The design features three main entry points, a figure-of-eight layout for intuitive customer navigation, and a
vibrant food and beverage hub at the heart of the centre, creating a welcoming space for visitors to gather, rest and revive.

Built with sustainability at its core, Mānawa Bay reflects a strong focus on environmentally responsible design through durable, low-energy materials and New Zealand’s largest rooftop solar array, which generates the equivalent of 80% of the centre’s power requirements.

Our team delivered a fully integrated architectural and interior design outcome for Mānawa Bay. With its accessible location, innovative design and strong environmental credentials, it has become one of Australasia’s leading outlet centres.
For TRCB, Mānawa Bay is a milestone project.

Directors Fred Chaney and Eamon Broderick reflect on the milestone: “Josh has been part of the fabric of this practice since our establishment in 2018. He has grown with us through some of the most complex, rewarding projects we have delivered, and has demonstrated an incredible capacity to lead innovative design across a range of sectors. His promotion reflects the kind of practice we have always wanted to build - one with great career pathways and an ongoing pursuit of excellence. We cannot think of a more able person to help drive the future of TRCB.”

Congratulations, Josh.
