Project: Indigo Blue, Burleigh Heads

Project Description:

Developed on a 3,000 m² site along the Burleigh Heads Esplanade on the Gold Coast, the building comprises of 44 two & three bedroom apartments over its 20 floor development height.

The brief called for a range of apartments ranging from integrated beach houses on levels 1 and 2, permanent rental/owner occupier apartments on levels 3 to 16, sub-penthouses on levels 17 to 19 and a penthouse on level 20. The development application was code compliant, allowing fast council approval. The transitional stepped facade allowed large terraces to be incorporated on levels 3, 12 and 17, which provided the dual results of facade softening and articulation with increased income realization to the developer.

The external shutter system on the balconies protects the building from the prevailing south-east winds, as well as giving the occupants an outdoor living space to maximize the Queensland alfresco lifestyle. The balcony design with its centre column allows clear view lines to the headlands up and down the beach.

A natural yet sophisticated palette was adopted in the interior design. The bold feature colours of the interior contrast with the crisp light exterior. The project became a Burleigh Heads landmark.
