Designed as a family sanctuary, the home unfolds across generous volumes that prioritise light, air, and connection to the subtropical environment. Clean lines and a restrained material palette of white rendered masonry, warm timber detailing, and textured natural stone create a timeless contemporary aesthetic that feels both sculptural and inviting. Extensive glazing and oversized sliding doors dissolve the boundaries between interior and exterior, allowing living spaces to spill seamlessly onto the poolside terrace and garden. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas form the heart of the home, framed by a dramatic stone feature wall and bathed in northern light. Upstairs, private quarters maintain the same sense of calm, with carefully composed views across rooftops to the distant coastline. Thoughtful details such as the vegetated rooftop planters, integrated shading, and generous skylights enhance environmental performance while contributing to the home’s quiet architectural elegance. Completed with a focus on finishes and bespoke joinery, the interiors strike a balance between sophisticated minimalism and relaxed coastal living. Every element has been resolved to support effortless family life and gracious entertaining, resulting in a residence that feels both aspirational and deeply personal. This project exemplifies BDA’s commitment to architecture that responds sensitively to its site while delivering enduring spatial and aesthetic quality. <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/781a98971d550d20621f767747870f15ec287a1a32e6b3d7b45dd6c7e01c9dda/BDA_DAWSON_CURLEW2026_ANDYMACPHERSON-1.jpg" data-mid="250168695" border="0" alt="Wide-angle shot of a modern, multi-level white house with a swimming pool in the foreground.

The building's form is composed of stacked, crisp white concrete bands that articulate the floor plates, grounded by an extensive timber-clad envelope that lends both warmth and texture to the streetscape. Central to the design is the use of operable and fixed vertical timber screens. This rhythmic element wraps the upper volumes, providing a dynamic facade that morphs to balance the desire for open, luminous interiors with the necessity of coastal privacy. The seamlessly integrated timber batten garage and entry gate create a cohesive, monolithic presence at street level, which slowly unravels upon entry. The layout is deliberately oriented around a private, sun-drenched courtyard and lawn, allowing the main living zones to open entirely to the elements. Large sliding glass tracks dissolve the boundaries between the interior flooring and the outdoor terrace, fostering an atmospheric sense of space. Deeply recessed balconies on the upper levels offer sheltered vantage points to capture coastal breezes while remaining protected from the street, completing a home designed around the quiet luxury of simplicity and light. <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b6c64120e79d031fec3f2be8422dfa04b3255a1406948e6e4d04e6f9f536cd5/BDA_FRANCIS_2026_ANDYMACPHERSON-1.jpg" data-mid="250006303" border="0" alt="A low-angle exterior shot of a multi-story luxury modern home under a clear blue sky.

Comprising four exclusive, full-floor residences, the project is an exercise in restrained luxury, where the architecture serves as a quiet backdrop to the coastal environment. The building form is defined by soft, organic curves that mirror the undulating landscape. Each residence is meticulously oriented to harness northern sunlight and maximise cross-ventilation, creating an environment that functions as a private, elevated sanctuary rather than a traditional apartment. Materiality remains central to the project design. A curated palette of natural stone, such as travertine and limestone, provides a grounding foundation, while fluted glass and bronze detailing introduce refinement and dynamic shadow play. These materials were specified for their durability and their capacity to weather effectively within a marine environment. The spatial planning prioritises a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Expansive terraces serve as extended living zones, integrating tropical landscaping to soften the building edges and ensure residential privacy. The final result is a luminous, diffused atmosphere that blurs the boundary between built form and nature, providing a serene environment that maintains a strong connection to the local architectural vernacular. <img width="3000" height="3828" width_o="3000" height_o="3828"

HouseHouse Location | Sorrento, QueenslandClient | ConfidentialPhotographer | Andy Macpherson Services | Architecture, Design, Documentation Sorrento House is a refined expression of contemporary sub-tropical living, where bold geometry is tempered by natural materials and landscape. The home presents as a confident architectural composition of cantilevered concrete planes, softened by a tactile material palette of warm timber, textured stone, and patterned breeze blocks. Deep overhangs and finely detailed timber screens provide passive shading and privacy, while maintaining a visual connection to the outdoors.The architectural language is clean and precise, allowing light and shadow to animate the building throughout the day. Internally, the home opens generously to the waterfront, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. A central axis connects the key living spaces to the landscape, while a hierarchy of courtyards, terraces and rooftop decks invite cross-ventilation and capture sweeping views across the canal and beyond. Layered planting and mature olive trees anchor the house in its setting and soften the formal structure, reinforcing a sense of calm and retreat. Timeless in both form and function, Sorrento House exemplifies an enduring approach to modernist coastal living.

QueenslandClient | ConfidentialVisualisation | Response Image Services | Architecture, Interior Design, Documentation The house is a refined expression of contemporary coastal living, combining strong modernist geometry with a warm, natural material palette. Broad concrete planes, deep roof overhangs and expansive glazing create a strong architectural form, softened by warm timber screening, textured stone and layered planting. Carefully positioned openings and timber detailing provide privacy while maintaining a strong visual connection to the surrounding landscape and waterfront. Internally, generous living spaces extend seamlessly to terraces, gardens and the water’s edge, creating a sequence of sheltered and open-air spaces for relaxed coastal living. The upper level captures broader views, while the lower level establishes a more intimate relationship with the landscape and pool. Dense planting and cascading greenery soften the rectilinear forms and integrate the residence with its setting, creating a calm and enduring expression of contemporary waterfront architecture. <img width="3000" height="1688" width_o="3000" height_o="1688" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2914b1ce1df21aca289c52a920558342256f04f6a98349e3f324e8a579b9fc46/29_Intrepid_Drive_002.jpg" data-mid="252957689" border="0" alt="Front elevation of a modern concrete and timber house featuring slatted wooden accents, rooftop greenery planters, and expansive glass windows." data-caption="Front elevation of a modern concrete and timber house featuring slatted wooden accents, rooftop greenery planters, and expansive glass windows." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2914b1ce1df21aca289c52a920558342256f04f6a98349e3f324e8a579b9fc46/29_Intrepid_Drive_002.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="1688" width_o="3000" height_o="1688" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84a1ef8813f45f24a0079a790de6b68abe47291cbf48bf99cf957a164540d368/29_Intrepid_Drive_003.jpg" data-mid="252957690" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84a1ef8813f45f24a0079a790de6b68abe47291cbf48bf99cf957a164540d368/29_Intrepid_Drive_003.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dea56b99cb6c8be90bf413f0d8db130a6e216f77da01b8b313f3050124976352/29_Intrepid_Drive_005.jpg" data-mid="252957691" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dea56b99cb6c8be90bf413f0d8db130a6e216f77da01b8b313f3050124976352/29_Intrepid_Drive_005.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d619b3d013826bf02c6c9efa53c0e504d37f9517000a5b1378a8d671cff62de9/29_Intrepid_Drive_006.jpg" data-mid="252957692" border="0" alt="Rear waterfront view of a modern luxury home featuring an elevated swimming pool and private pontoon dock." data-caption="Rear waterfront view of a modern luxury home featuring an elevated swimming pool and private pontoon dock." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d619b3d013826bf02c6c9efa53c0e504d37f9517000a5b1378a8d671cff62de9/29_Intrepid_Drive_006.jpg" /> https://bdaarch.com.au/Sandpiper-Interiors Tue, 06 Oct 2026 04:56:56 +0000 BDA Architecture - Gold Coast, Queensland https://bdaarch.com.au/Sandpiper-Interiors <img width="3000" height="1776" width_o="3000" height_o="1776" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f28b5dc56c48c43f9684c75711f3b9ede474e25f64b9fe31fa518b67947b9ec2/BINYAN_THE3477_S100_LobbyPond_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932800" border="0" alt="Modern luxury lobby featuring a dramatic marble accent wall, matching reception desk, low pendant lights, and a sunlit seating area with contemporary furniture." data-caption="Modern luxury lobby featuring a dramatic marble accent wall, matching reception desk, low pendant lights, and a sunlit seating area with contemporary furniture." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f28b5dc56c48c43f9684c75711f3b9ede474e25f64b9fe31fa518b67947b9ec2/BINYAN_THE3477_S100_LobbyPond_Final3500.jpg" /> SandpiperInterior Design Location |&nbsp; Broadbeach, QueenslandClient | PolycellVisualisation | Binyan Studios Services | Interior Design, Design Architecture, Documentation The interior architecture for Sandpiper is shaped by its position on the Broadbeach coastline. Designed to echo the natural curves and soft light of the surrounding landscape, the interiors bring a sense of calm to every residence and shared space across the 52-storey tower. Situated at the corner of Albert Avenue and Old Burleigh Road, Sandpiper balances high-density living with light, space, and warmth. The design prioritises open sightlines to the Pacific Ocean, drawing natural light deep into the floorplates through full-height glazing and wide balconies. Residences range from two-bedroom layouts to expansive multi-bedroom homes. Layouts are clean and intuitive, defined by custom joinery, soft-edged plaster finishes, muted stone, and warm timber tones. Living areas extend directly outdoors, taking full advantage of coastal breezes and the sub-tropical climate. Across the building, the private amenities offer a seamless transition from the street to the home. The ground-floor lobby establishes a calm, generous entry, while three dedicated amenity floors feature private dining suites, lounges, and wellness spaces built in natural, durable materials suited to the seaside setting. <img width="3000" height="1689" width_o="3000" height_o="1689" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d43a4c0d713d301bd9a6161c591f87806cd316bf04386db2817f7a315ea618b/BINYAN_THE3477_S240_L34_Dining_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932802" border="0" alt="Luxurious high-rise dining room and lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a city skyline and ocean." data-caption="Luxurious high-rise dining room and lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a city skyline and ocean." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d43a4c0d713d301bd9a6161c591f87806cd316bf04386db2817f7a315ea618b/BINYAN_THE3477_S240_L34_Dining_Final3500.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81446f5fa9a6da98352eba249845d1aa28a3e9d7fb43ef17dcee63f275c999a0/BINYAN_THE3477_S290_TypeD_Ensuite_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932803" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81446f5fa9a6da98352eba249845d1aa28a3e9d7fb43ef17dcee63f275c999a0/BINYAN_THE3477_S290_TypeD_Ensuite_Final3500.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2001" width_o="3000" height_o="2001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8380f4df1d86ef2566ef0233a6016a63768d796a110cec692633556168644b1c/BINYAN_THE3477_S060_TypeJ_Kitchen_L_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932806" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8380f4df1d86ef2566ef0233a6016a63768d796a110cec692633556168644b1c/BINYAN_THE3477_S060_TypeJ_Kitchen_L_Final3500.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2001" width_o="3000" height_o="2001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d8377927674690514089ab8cd68097ee26da5b663f76539630736b4e9c08487/BINYAN_THE3477_S130_Pod_KitDinLnge_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932808" border="0" alt="Elegant dining room featuring a large round stone table surrounded by wooden chairs beneath a modern globe chandelier, with floor-to-ceiling doors opening to coastal views." data-caption="Elegant dining room featuring a large round stone table surrounded by wooden chairs beneath a modern globe chandelier, with floor-to-ceiling doors opening to coastal views." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d8377927674690514089ab8cd68097ee26da5b663f76539630736b4e9c08487/BINYAN_THE3477_S130_Pod_KitDinLnge_Final3500.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="1764" width_o="3000" height_o="1764" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/57c920262a4e0247af5ee8fa908fe1dfd7bbab490ddb6e403edc0d71fea82041/BINYAN_THE3477_S200_L33_Wellness_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932809" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/57c920262a4e0247af5ee8fa908fe1dfd7bbab490ddb6e403edc0d71fea82041/BINYAN_THE3477_S200_L33_Wellness_Final3500.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="1764" width_o="3000" height_o="1764" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/15f9b466dd133f84c4c94c1a49454e3ebc151fe12db91edfc0cce079187b75c8/BINYAN_THE3477_S210_L33_Pool_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932810" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/15f9b466dd133f84c4c94c1a49454e3ebc151fe12db91edfc0cce079187b75c8/BINYAN_THE3477_S210_L33_Pool_Final3500.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="1666" width_o="3000" height_o="1666" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fa88995f604e65b8590c0ec842ab9514f887a1c148cbffca90cc6321b8c20ff7/BINYAN_THE3477_S190_L33_Gym_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932811" border="0" alt="Modern high-rise fitness center featuring an outdoor yoga terrace with ocean views and an indoor gym overlooking the city skyline." data-caption="Modern high-rise fitness center featuring an outdoor yoga terrace with ocean views and an indoor gym overlooking the city skyline." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fa88995f604e65b8590c0ec842ab9514f887a1c148cbffca90cc6321b8c20ff7/BINYAN_THE3477_S190_L33_Gym_Final3500.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="1875" width_o="3000" height_o="1875" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76016f1b439d4aa60a0eb4f86fae7d3b1b4ae783956a399b5b7e4f4fe46ab70d/BINYAN_THE3477_S230_L33_ZenGdn_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932813" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/76016f1b439d4aa60a0eb4f86fae7d3b1b4ae783956a399b5b7e4f4fe46ab70d/BINYAN_THE3477_S230_L33_ZenGdn_Final3500.jpg" /> <img width="2400" height="3000" width_o="2400" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a847931777d16725e7a5f8d101ddb7393f98e9ed14d647aa3980a41e691ee7ff/BINYAN_THE3477_S170_Pod_ColdHotPool_Final3500.jpg" data-mid="252932812" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a847931777d16725e7a5f8d101ddb7393f98e9ed14d647aa3980a41e691ee7ff/BINYAN_THE3477_S170_Pod_ColdHotPool_Final3500.jpg" /> https://bdaarch.com.au/Regatta-House Tue, 06 Oct 2026 05:28:13 +0000 BDA Architecture -

Sweeping concrete floor plates stack above a structured masonry base, establishing a strong geometric presence while curved edges guide the eye along the water frontage. Arranged across three levels, the layout prioritises natural light, cross-ventilation, and direct connections to outdoor spaces. The ground floor is dedicated to wellness and recreation, housing a gym, sauna, and sunken lounge that open onto a broad terrace, lap pool, and corner plunge pool. The principal living zone occupies the first floor, where open dining, lounge, and kitchen areas extend onto a covered outdoor entertaining deck overlooking the canal. The top level contains the primary bedroom suite, framed by private balconies that capture wide views across the water. Linear brickwork and timber screening are paired with warm, timber-lined soffits and expressed concrete slabs. Deep, integrated planter beds line each floor edge, allowing cascading foliage to screen the facade and integrate the architecture into its subtropical garden context. <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a18026ffa7132b432ea6687f61ce9d1f61a4c98b1987a0f6eefefc91bbc904d6/41_Regatta_002.jpg" data-mid="252932905" border="0" alt="Modern multi-story residential building featuring curved balconies, timber screening, and trailing greenery on a street corner." data-caption="Modern multi-story residential building featuring curved balconies, timber screening, and trailing greenery on a street corner." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a18026ffa7132b432ea6687f61ce9d1f61a4c98b1987a0f6eefefc91bbc904d6/41_Regatta_002.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="1688" width_o="3000" height_o="1688" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5aaf6bd64b2ff15035cb69c1a8786c09b50522199b7e78fff0323dc5d91b335/41_Regatta_003.jpg" data-mid="252932906" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f5aaf6bd64b2ff15035cb69c1a8786c09b50522199b7e78fff0323dc5d91b335/41_Regatta_003.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ce4acc9ea05e74e8f91404bace47267b00e9fa2cc30e9cc0c37eeff72ec9f6a6/41_Regatta_005.jpg" data-mid="252932904" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ce4acc9ea05e74e8f91404bace47267b00e9fa2cc30e9cc0c37eeff72ec9f6a6/41_Regatta_005.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ba2ae11d60b91fe937c42fd0e25a1d4a53514abb9a8ecf85941fb8ed23b6c41e/41_Regatta_001.jpg" data-mid="252932901" border="0" alt="Front facade of a modern residential building featuring curved balconies with cascading greenery and vertical timber louvers." data-caption="Front facade of a modern residential building featuring curved balconies with cascading greenery and vertical timber louvers." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ba2ae11d60b91fe937c42fd0e25a1d4a53514abb9a8ecf85941fb8ed23b6c41e/41_Regatta_001.jpg" /> https://bdaarch.com.au/Mermaid-Beach-462 Wed, 30 Sep 2026 01:19:54 +0000 BDA Architecture - Gold Coast, Queensland https://bdaarch.com.au/Mermaid-Beach-462 <img width="3000" height="4500" width_o="3000" height_o="4500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d654c563aed8e2c12dda9d99ca45b368cc35ebbd0b2f8327dbf26bda30e353da/BDA_DBBUILD_VENICE-ANDYMACPHERSON-1.jpg" data-mid="252739319" border="0" alt="Modern three-story building fa&ccedil;ade at dusk with warm interior lights glowing behind vertical timber privacy screens and matching dual timber garage doors." data-caption="Modern three-story building façade at dusk with warm interior lights glowing behind vertical timber privacy screens and matching dual timber garage doors." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d654c563aed8e2c12dda9d99ca45b368cc35ebbd0b2f8327dbf26bda30e353da/BDA_DBBUILD_VENICE-ANDYMACPHERSON-1.jpg" /> Mermaid Beach 462Residential Apartment Location | Mermaid Beach, QueenslandClient | ConfidentialPhotographer | Andy Macpherson Services | Design Architecture, Documentation Situated on Venice Street, this completed three-storey residential duplex exemplifies a striking balance between bold architectural form and natural materiality, establishing a modern contemporary character that harmonises with surrounding buildings. The linear and geometric facade presents a distinct street presence while remaining deeply respectful of the residential scale and relaxed coastal ethos of Mermaid Beach.

The twenty-one storey residential building provides a contemporary facade that reflects its city location, creating a strong architectural landmark along Railway Terrace and Milton Road. This project offers high-quality residential apartments with a mix of eight units per floor on the lower levels and six units per floor on the upper levels. It also features unique podium-level apartments that sleeve the podium-level car parking and activate the street frontage. The Ground Floor houses the main building lobby and a small retail tenancy, both of which have direct links to Railway Terrace. Communal recreation comes in the form of a rooftop level with a pool and several separate areas for residents to utilise. All apartments feature large balconies that act as outdoor rooms, encouraging indoor/outdoor interaction. The contemporary design of the building includes floor-to-ceiling glass, large framed elements, horizontal projected solid upstands, and an articulated form with a juxtaposed tower. A curved sculptural screen on the podium provides a visually interesting form when viewed from Railway Terrace, while providing shade and landscaping opportunities on the street facade. The same pattern appears on the remaining three podium elevations, with formed concrete walls. The building houses 113 apartments over 20 levels, with a rooftop communal recreation area that comprises outdoor BBQs, dining areas, resident activity space, a lap pool, and a large open terrace area.
