The Local Project x Beach House

Fortifying the desirable allure of beachside living, the final completion of Beach House is coastal refinement at its finest. With the ocean at its doorstep, Andrews Projects has developed a bespoke contemporary apartment building that speaks to a broader vision.

Standing tall on Australia Avenue in Broadbeach, Queensland, Beach House beholds panoramic views of the ocean, city skyline and surrounding hinterland. The structure is north facing, welcoming an abundance of natural light, and sits in a unique corner position boasting two street frontages that enable an iconic architectural façade. Behind the 12-apartment, 14-level development, Andrews Projects has imbued the structure with a sense of passion and innovation to deliver these luxury high-end homes.

The interior palette and materiality draw inspiration from the coastal landscape – neutral tones, natural stones and timbers dominate. bureau^proberts worked alongside Andrews Projects in the design of the project, helping craft interior spaces that both optimise the apartment’s surrounding ocean views and assimilate a natural and organic aesthetic.

The exterior is defined by curved edges, extended concrete slabs and vertical blades that function as sun protectors and privacy screens. The building’s curvature was also designed to further extend the architectural expression of the apartment building.

The floor-to-ceiling doubled-glazed windows also give expansive views out to the ocean, further connecting interior spaces with the coastal environment.

Beach House’s materiality continues the dialogue between the interior and the exterior, where the use of light timber finishes and textural limestone ties each element together.

Beach House is unique, benefitting greatly from its ample lighting and spacious proportions. Each apartment entertains the spatial values afforded to residential homes, generously-sized to provide a sense of ease and flow between internal areas. Beach House’s spatial dimensions work alongside lighting that is simultaneously soft and bright, lending an airy coastal feel to the apartments.

In collaboration with bureau^proberts, Andrews Projects has developed a series of inimitably contemporary apartments that individually and collectively evoke wonder and awe.

Andrews Projects approaches the design with a focused purpose, delivering homes relevant to clients’ lifestyles and tailored to their lifestyle. Designed for the downsizer, Beach House is a dedication to individualised living, as each apartment was designed with the owners in mind and informed by the slow, coastal location, a focus on functionality and the choice to include larger single-floor apartments.

Within its ocean mi-lieu and accessible outdoor lifestyle, Beach House feeds into its coastal aesthetic – one that encourages a unification of the interior and exterior, where one cannot exist without the other.
