Amani - 3519 Main Beach Parade - [Main Beach, Gold Coast]
The “Amani” development is located in Main Beach at the intersection of Breaker Street and Main Beach Parade, on a site previously occupied by a 3-storey multi-residential building. The corner site presents an opportunity to create a building of significance on an iconic beachfront cul-de-sac drawing from the unique context of the established suburb, a village bound on all sides by sandy shores; of the beach, the river and the broadwater.
The development consists of 15 luxury beachside apartments in a 17 storey building. There are four apartment types (2 apartments per floor, 1 apartment per floor, duplexes and a 3 storey penthouse). The spacious apartments provide an enticing alternative to single dwelling homes where residents will be able to experience sunlight and views from multiple aspects including towards the breath-taking white sand of Main Beach and the Pacific Ocean beyond.
In our work we synthesise research and understand patterns in nature to deliver site-specific solutions that are rich, beautiful and functional – like the natural world. In this project we have taken inspiration from the local context where dynamic patterns can be found in the sand, shaped by wind and water. The architecture that emerges is innovative and advanced, imbued with warmth and artistry. Sculptural forms and organic lines encourage public engagement and optimise environmental performance.
