This proposed residential tower introduces a striking modernist statement to the evolving South Broadbeach skyline. Comprising a 33-storey tower elevated above a two-storey podium, the design appears to “float” above an open, inviting ground plane that encourages engagement and a sense of arrival.

Defined by a distinctly angular expression, the tower’s sculpted floor plate generates oblique spatial gestures that create visually dynamic forms and shifting perspectives from the street.

East and west façades adopt a strong horizontal language, framing uninterrupted horizon views and accentuated by dramatic cantilevered edges. Solid spandrel panels provide privacy while reinforcing the building’s clean, sculptural silhouette. Continuous horizontal sunshades, a curved precast northern edge, and carefully screened service elements reduce solar gain and enhance environmental performance, all contributing to the tower’s refined modernist identity.

At the street interface, a shared pedestrian and vehicular ground plane is articulated with warm, honest materials - off-form concrete, stone paving, and bronze details - complemented by lush planting to create a welcoming, human-scaled environment. Above, the rooftop of the podium is dedicated entirely to resident wellness and recreation, offering distinct zones for pool, dining, gym, and relaxation. Capped by a recessed “crown” canopy, the tower’s form culminates in an elegant finale, embodying a layered and timeless expression of tropical modernism that responds sensitively to its coastal context.
