Perched along the tranquil riverbanks of Broadbeach Waters, the Riverfront Residence is a refined study in contemporary luxury. Its north-facing orientation and 30.5-metre water frontage invite light, breeze, and uninterrupted city views to permeate the home, establishing an intimate dialogue between the interior spaces and the riverfront setting. The design balances bold modernity with subtle restraint, using wide overhangs for architectural definition and practical shading, while timber and stone accents add warmth and texture to the façade. Strategically positioned louvre screens ensure privacy without compromising ventilation, demonstrating a thoughtful approach to openness and intimacy.

Inside, approximately 821 square metres of living space have been crafted with an eye for both elegance and comfort. Five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms accommodate family life and guests, while a dedicated media room and a 2,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar articulate a lifestyle centred on leisure and entertaining. Materiality is carefully considered throughout, with natural textures, bespoke joinery, and restrained detailing creating interiors that are simultaneously luxurious and timeless, offering a sense of understated sophistication at every turn.

The home’s layout seamlessly extends into its outdoor environment, with expansive terraces, alfresco dining areas, and landscaped gardens that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior. Every vantage point has been composed to maximise light, views, and a sense of tranquillity, creating a residence that is as much about experience as architecture. The Riverfront Residence exemplifies BDA Architecture’s commitment to enduring design, achieving a quiet sophistication that celebrates its setting, materiality, and the lifestyle it affords, resulting in a home both elegant and intrinsically connected to its environment.
