New Surfers Paradise apartment tower designed inspired by yachts
The latest apartment development application to the Gold Coast City Council's desk has been designed by the local architecture firm BDA with inspiration taken from modern racing yachts with foiled keels.
A Sydney-based development has lodged plans for a 15-level apartment project at 2919 Gold Coast Highway, Surfers Paradise, which will home just 35 apartments.
The majority of those will be three-bedroom apartments, with a handful of two-bedroom apartments located on the lower levels.
In their design statement, BDA noted that the towers form is a product of the changing floor plates, with the overall mass of the building reducing, the higher it gets.

"This in turn creates an interesting, slender tower and will create visual interest from the surrounding context," the architecture firm suggested.
There will be three apartments per floor on the lower levels, and two per floor on the upper levels.
The rooftop homes the communal recreation facilities, which include an outdoor BBQ and dining area, residents lounge, lap pool, gym and lounging areas.

"All apartments feature large, north facing balconies that act as outdoor rooms to encourage indoor/outdoor interaction," BDA say.
A small cafe will sit on the ground level, with exposure to the busy Gold Coast Highway to the west.
The vacant 827 sqm of land sits across the street from the well known D'Arcy Arms Irish Pub, which itself was listed as a development site late last year.

The Gold Coast Highway, which runs all the way down the Gold Coast from Mermaid Beach to Bilinga with apartment projects on both the beach side and the west side, has been busy in recent months.
Capri, alongside financier MaxCap Group, secured 1929 Gold Coast Highway in Burleigh Heads, with plans to create a 22-level luxury tower.
The $120 million project, which will see 80 apartments created and high end amenity located on the rooftop, will be designed by Gurner's go-to architect, Warren & Mahoney, who handles all of Gurner's projects both in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast.
Just up the road, the innovative developer FORME is also set to produce another high quality project, having secured the site behind their Burleigh Heads apartment project, Sea.
