Glenelg Residences aspires to transform the future Light Rail Corridor with intensified development, thereby enhancing the area's residential and retail diversity. The proposal aims to create a high-quality mixed-use building, delivering an exceptional standard of livability and establishing a fitting scale within the evolving context of Mermaid Beach.

The ground level features a meticulously designed retail precinct, characterised by extensive glass facades and premium materials. A landscaped entryway integrates the tower into its natural surroundings, complemented by cascading greenery from above.

The tower has been considered as a 3 dimensional form in the urban context of the city. It's design is a harmonious blend of vertical and horizontal elements, recessed sections, and cascading greenery, creating a dynamic urban form. From the Gold Coast Highway, its facade captivates with horizontal projections that add depth and shadow, featuring recessed balconies, cascading planters, and a mix of solid and glass balustrades. The floating roof and textured concrete contribute to its material richness and visual intrigue.

Viewed from the west, the tower presents a minimalist, symmetrical design, emphasizing texture and simplicity.
