From dune to dwelling, where architecture meets the shoreline.

Dune is a luxury apartment occupying a premium address on the Gold Coast. The design of the slender building looks beyond the constraints of the 15-metre-wide site, with the entry conceived as an extension of the dunes, and the communal spaces and apartment interiors amplifying the beachfront experience.

Each floor is designed with the scale and layout of a freestanding home and a curated journey from the lift that heightens the coastal living experience. The long central corridor lengthens the view and culminates in a large stone portal to the living, dining and kitchen with the balcony and horizon beyond. Expansive side windows offer views up down the coast, and the stone and timber palette draws the colours of the dunes inside.

The entry sequence is evocative of ascending a dune to arrive at the beach. The front threshold is open and generous to the street, and stairs with staggered, landscaped edges embed the building with the verge. Reaching the top of the stairs there is a visual connection to the beach beyond.
