The Big Reveal:
It’s been the new home of Hit105 Brisbane and Triple M since June last year and we got to see and learn more about Audio HQ at The Barracks as we were only around for a short time, the last time we were here right before RNB Fridays LIVE. So it was a nice full circle moment adding to the highlights of meeting Matt, Stav and Abby in person to get some insight into this year’s lineup for the event of the year. After years of back and forth, clashing schedules and availability issues – Will Smith is confirmed to headline RNB Fridays Live 2020.
3 cool things about Audio HQ (Inside tour):
1. 24 Hours a Day, Every Day. The thing about AUDIO HQ is that some people start at 4am (that’d be the news teams), some start at 5am (the brekkie teams) and some start at 10pm (hello mid-dawners). There’s also the 9am to 5pm teams. Therefore, the design of AUDIO HQ had to be about BALANCE – making sure the workplaces, End-Of-Trip facilities and common areas are as welcoming and inspiring at midnight, as they are at midday; making sure there were environments for hard thinking, collaborative works, chilling, meetings and more. Being open and on air 24/7 was a unique element of the design brief.
2. Eyes (and ears) on Brisbane. The on-air teams that talk to Brisbane every day and night, now look at directly Brisbane. The views from the studios look out over the mighty Brisbane River, across the city and South Bank to the southern reaches of South East Queensland. There’s a lots of talk about corporate rooftop entertaining spaces. But no-one has a dedicated corporate entertaining space like this – AUDIO HQ’s looks straight down the legendary Caxton Street to Suncorp Stadium, out over the Toowong reach to Mt Coot-Tha, and to the west past the iconic Red Hill church. Sunsets are glorious. Sunrises are epic. It does not get any more Brisbane or Queensland.
3. The Audio Pod – this velvet circular bench in reception is the go-to place for visitors to listen to their favourite podcast, live radio or music, using the best acoustics possible. The design was inspired by a 1950s vinyl record listening station.
