Mt Whitsunday Luxury Duplex Development
Mt Whitsunday Luxury Duplex Development
The design of this proposed residential development seeks to optimise its steep hillside view location, overlooking the ocean and the new Airlie Marina developments below. The development proposes 50 houses, with views of the marina and ocean to the east. The houses have been designed to have cross ventilation and significant terrace spaces for the residents’ private use. This proposal will reinforce the vision of creating ‘contemporary design reflecting and responding to the tropical climate’ in the form of the building.
The site’s slope encourages a special design approach which minimises the disruption to the existing site and allows the 50 houses, building services and roads to be built. The design approach uses this site constraint as the inspiration of the design solution. The design of these houses builds on lightweight concepts for the floor plans and support structure. The roofs of the houses are designed to ‘float’ above.
