Feature Projects

University of the Sunshine Coast Brasserie

Location: Sippy Downs, Sunshine Coast, QLD
Year: 2026

BRD Group is proud to have played a key role in the transformation of the UniSC Brasserie, helping to create a vibrant and welcoming destination for students, staff, and visitors. Working collaboratively within our design and construct team, we took the architect’s concept design through the critical compliance and documentation phases, ensuring the project was ready for successful delivery on site.

Our team was responsible for developing comprehensive approval documentation, detailed construction drawings, and coordinated schedules that supported both regulatory requirements and efficient project execution. By working closely with the broader project team, we helped streamline the transition from concept to construction while maintaining the integrity of the original design vision.

The completed UniSC Brasserie now serves as a modern campus hub, providing an engaging space that enhances the university experience and contributes to the evolving campus environment. We are proud to have contributed our expertise to a project that will be enjoyed by the UniSC community for years to come.

IRT Woodlands Care Centre

Location: Meridan Plains, Sunshine Coast, QLD
Year: 2016

The IRT Woodlands care centre provides housing for 60 residents, complete with modern facilities and finishes.

The community hall was designed to create a space for residents to congregate and socialise as well as providing a central and integral section of
the care centre.

Much like the hub of a wheel, this structure allows residents to socialise in a resort style environments, whilst also receiving the care that is required.

The two buildings combined were designed to reflect the coastal location, providing residents with a holiday resort ambience.

Buderim Views Aged Care

Location: Buderim, Sunshine Coast
Year: 2009

Buderim Views is a 120 room aged care facility located on the Sunshine Coast with four distinct areas ranging from low and high care, to dementia and added services care.

The facility includes a visitor bedroom, associated living and dining areas, television and library areas, administration requirements, commercial kitchen and associated services, commercial laundry, required on-site storage and car parking requirements.

The resultant design consists of the building set over three levels to compensate for the large site level difference. The lowest level relates to the access for the existing village and consists of both staff and visitor parking, laundry, staff room, amenities, kitchen and service areas. The mid level consists of 60 resident bedrooms, visitor bedroom, admin areas, visiting specialist areas, living/dining areas, and direct access to external landscaped courtyard areas. The upper level features the remainder of the resident bedrooms and their associated areas as well as direct access to large balconies.
