New two-level apartments set for Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise
It's going to be a big year for both developers and buyers on Surfers Paradise's luxury beachfront strip.
Local developer Frank Developments, headed by Frank Licastro, will be bringing MIRA, a huge tower designed for the high-end owner-occupier, to 61 Garfield Terrace, offering some of the biggest apartments on the Gold Coast.
The skinny 32-level tower, designed by Ferro Chow Architects will have just 14 apartments, each spanning two levels. A mega penthouse will crown the top four levels.
In their design statement submitted to the Gold Coast City Council, Ferro Chow said MIRA is a unique and exclusively boutique residential project.
"The name MIRA translates to many things and drawn from many origins. These elements are expressed in the architecture, which is a statement of quality contemporary detailing, sophisticated in styling and responding to local context. It adopts innovation in designing with technology and sustainable outcomes. MIRA is as unique as it is timeless."
Each of the two level apartments will have four bedrooms, one on the lower level, set at the rear of the wing, privately away from the main living, kitchen and dining space.
Upstairs is a further three bedrooms, one being a master retreat with a walk in wardrobe and ensuite. All of the four bedrooms will have ensuites.
The mega penthouse, likely to be one of the biggest ever produced in Queensland, will span from levels 28 to 31.
The 28th level will have four ensuited bedrooms, and a multi-purpose room. Up one floor is the full floor master retreat, with his and hers wardrobes and dual vanity, dual shower ensuite with bath tub. At the other end of the floor are two separate home offices.
The third penthouse level is dedicated to the kitchen and living space. There will also be a separate formal sitting area.
The penthouse also has its own private roof terrace, where indoor there's a gym and steam room. Outside will be a swimming pool, fire pit.
The resident amenity will be located on the first level, where there will be a beach-facing pool, a gym studio with sauna, an outdoor barbecue space, and a private dining area.
"A strong desire to connect and create access to the coastline is the inspiration to blend nature and its elements into the architecture."
