The interior design of this project is guided by a timeless sensibility—crafted to complement the coastal lifestyle of Mermaid Beach while offering lasting appeal.

Drawing from a holistic design philosophy, the interiors balance elegance and practicality, with a focus on liveability, natural comfort, and refined materiality.

Resident amenity is a defining feature of the project, with interiors that elevate everyday living. A generous fitness centre, infra-red sauna, resort-style pool, and beautifully appointed dining and kitchen facilities—including an alfresco BBQ area—create spaces that feel both indulgent and purposeful.

The interior palette features rich timber tones and natural stone, offering a sense of warmth and depth that contrasts elegantly with the building’s restrained external façade. Every detail has been considered to create interiors that feel sophisticated, enduring, and deeply connected to place.

Together with the architectural form, the interiors define a new benchmark for design excellence in this evolving Southern Broadbeach precinct.
