Elysium
Residential Apartment
Location | Mermaid Beach, Queensland
Client | Howard Group
Photographer | Scott Burrows
Services | Architecture, Interior Design, Design, Documentation
The Elysium apartment development provides only 9 large residential apartments which each have large floor plates, good privacy, large outdoor recreation terraces with northern aspect over the adjoining park.
The architecture is clean and powerful. A combination of clean blade elements and two expressed 3 storey components astride the 4 level void, articulates the building in a dramatic manner to the street. Level 5 features a single level penthouse which is capped with a floating slim line roof edge to create a dramatic built form.

The building provides an innovative architectural approach with a ‘split’ apartment configuration, a dramatic 4 level arrival space and a ‘floating’ top storey.
Materials are predominantly well detailed white off form concrete and glass - raw, honest and sophisticated. The proposed architecture provides innovation, drama and compositional interest.
This proposal is an innovative sophisticated architectural composition which will be a positive addition to the ongoing development of this Mermaid Beach precinct.
