Buderim’s Burnett Street blends historical charm with contemporary vibrancy, showcasing a mix of heritage and modern architecture amidst boutiques and eateries. Standing prominently along this bustling tree-lined thoroughfare is 52 Burnett Street, constructed in the early 1990s and lying unoccupied for a number of years.

Aspect Architects and Project Managers, with 30 years of regional presence, seized the opportunity to establish this building as a new base for their Sunshine Coast operations. Renovating existing structures poses challenges in compliance, planning, and design. With a modest budget and a commitment to preserving Burnett Street’s heritage character, Aspect implemented strategic enhancements. These include a new street-facing awning, locally sympathetic finishes, abundant greenery, and a refreshed façade, all aimed at seamlessly integrating with the streetscape’s village ambiance. Adjacent to the heritage-listed Buderim Post Office, the revitalized 52 Burnett Street stands as a testament to thoughtful urban renewal. By melding modern functionality with historic context, the Aspect team has transformed a dormant space into a contemporary building that respects and positively enriches the built environment in its community surroundings.
