Did you catch Plus Principal Chrisney Formosa on Brisbane's 7NEWS this week? Speaking about one of our practice's crucial focuses, Chrisney highlighted the importance of prioritising medium-density housing developments in inner-city neighbourhoods when re-addressing the 'missing middle' in Queensland's current housing solutions. "As architects, we need to work with the wider construction industry, alongside policy-makers, to reformulate the idea of what city living looks like now and in the future," says Chrisney.⁠ Along with an ever-growing portfolio of medium-density residential projects, Plus Architecture currently has two developments exemplifying the innovative, targeted housing solutions Queensland needs right now: Ascot Row in North East Brisbane and Capri Villas on the Gold Coast's Isle of Capri.

'Life beyond the facade', a review by Simon Henley of Costa's Barbers designed by Brisco Loran Architects has been published in the March edition of the RIBA Journal. The retail-to-residential conversion on Battersea High Street by Brisco Loran and Duncan Blackmore for Arrant Industries provides a home and office for the practice.
