This project offered the opportunity to create a new catalyst project to help initiate the regeneration of the Southport CBD. Located at the ‘gateway’ north-eastern corner of central Southport, at the junction of Marine Parade and North St., the existing site was in desperate need of rejuvenation. The site itself is the north eastern corner of the Southport Priority Development Area.

It provided a special opportunity to create a new ‘marker’ building, of appropriate scale and distinctive arresting design, to celebrate the arrival of visitor to the emerging Southport central CBD precinct.

The design addresses the great potential of the site and responds to the constraints of existing buildings, roads and traffic.
