Kora - 798-800 Pacific Parade, Currumbin

Arena's Development Manager Ray Bachir said Kora's “quietly confident” design sets a new standard for architecture on Currumbin’s in-demand beach-side strip.

The small Gold Coast suburb Currumbin is set for a rare new apartment development.

Arena Property Group, who are developing LANA in Bilinga, has been given the green light to create Kora, a boutique project of just seven apartments designed by Plus Architecture at 798-800 Pacific Parade.

Located on Currumbin’s famed beachside stretch, the four-storey development will be the first major multi-residential addition to the coastal suburb in a number of years, as well as Plus Architecture’s first project in the area.

Arena's Development Manager Ray Bachir said Kora's “quietly confident” design sets a new standard for architecture on Currumbin’s in-demand beach-side strip.

“When your objective is to make a visual impact without compromising the natural integrity of a site it all comes down to excellent design solutions, which Plus Architecture has certainly achieved in this project,” Bachir said.

“Kora is a new product for the area that will appeal to a broad demographic – it’s a great design that offers the iconic Gold Coast lifestyle of suburbs like Palm Beach, while still respecting the unique character and history of Currumbin.”

Plus Architecture Principal Chrisney Formosa said the overall design approach for Kora is organic and uplifting, complementing Currumbin’s picturesque beachside character and its nearby natural landmarks of Currumbin Hills and Elephant Rock.

“Designed with sensitivity to the site’s location and the Currumbin lifestyle, our objective was to design a luxury residential dwelling that seamlessly assimilates with the local built environment,” Formosa said.

“A selection of nature-inspired tones and textures emphasise Kora’s abundant natural light and sweeping panoramic views. These elements contribute to an elevated quality of life for residents and demonstrate our detail-oriented response to subtropical design ideals.”

Kora’s external design scheme features a mix of concrete, tinted glazing, bronze and glass balustrading, with the façade created from timber-look battens.

Plus Architecture has also paid homage to traditional ‘timber and tin’ beach shacks in the design, which grows out from a central timber spine and tapers off in a floating edge following an organic natural form.

All seven residences feature a unique level of amenity including generous internal living space and expansive oceanside balconies which benefit from ocean views. The complex itself features a communal rooftop area, wellness centre, high-quality landscaping and an abundance of car parking spaces. Arena Property Group’s

The sales and marketing campaign for Kora is expected to kick off in a few months, with construction commencement slated for the latter half of 2023.
