Success At The 2015 HIA-CSR North Queensland Awards

The team are thrilled to announce success at the recent 2015 HIA-CSR North Queensland Awards.

The 'Best Apartment Complex' and 'Best Apartment' categories were awarded to this apartment complex located at Tannum Sands, just south of Gladstone.

The 5 level project boasting majestic views also features ground level commercial / retail space, while a secure residential lobby is accessed through the Northern street approach.

The residential foyers possess luxurious timber, natural stone, bronze glass and warm indirect lighting. Deeply setback balconies and large expanses of glazing were used to create a sense of lightness and connection with the views for the residents.

Our team worked alongside surveyors and town planners to ensure all facets of planning and building regulation were accommodated, which saw a smooth construction process for this iconic landmark site.

Aspects on Buderim Apartments

BRD Group are proud to announce the completion of the Aspects on Buderim apartments.

The development blends urban style with the laid-back lifestyle of the Sunshine Coast to create large open spaces perfect for relaxed living and entertaining. The angular complex is designed to maximise the site's natural aspects by incorporating large operable glazing to allow daylight to flood in, and the cool coastal breezes to flow through.

Below are some shots of the resulting apartments.

Drayton Shopping Centre now Complete

The new Drayton Shopping Centre is now open for business, with major tenancies including Woolworths, Chemmart Pharmacy  and BWS, with the remaining 1300 square metres of space occupied by specialty stores.

Part of the initial concept was to allow for potential future development, however as the first stage was delivered on time and budget, the client was pleased to continue with the future development on site as well.

Working with the natural characteristics of the site, the team at Brad Read Design Group has delivered a successful outcome that contributes to the community.

Stylish New Beachside Townhouses for the Sunshine Coast

Situated on a picturesque beach-side block on the Sunshine Coast, this multi-residential development is unconventional in form and planning.

The development includes two large 3 storey, 3 bedroom and study townhouses situated at the rear of the block. Built forms have been designed as largely open plan with vertical linkages via stairs and lifts to optimise seasonal living. 

Deep outdoor living areas allow for inhabitants to utilise the exterior spaces in sometimes harsh coastal conditions.  Sneaking breath-taking ocean views from the deep eastern facing balconies & master bedrooms, and private entertaining courtyards, these are not a typical townhouse response. 

The hero of the site is the front detached residence which over 4 luxurious levels includes 5 bedrooms, office, sewing room, gym, and multiple entertaining and separate guest living areas. 

Occupants are truly able to experience the convenience of beachside living with the luxuries of private contemporary dwellings.

 

A Luxurious Make Over for a Sunshine Coast Residence

From the humble colonial brick start, this residence on the Sunshine Coast has experienced an astonishing transformation into a stately presence.

Situated in a lush leafy site, this family home has expanded to provide 5 bedrooms, including a grand 85m² Master Suite, various living and entertaining spaces, a designated 'pub feel' games room, fully equipped gymnasium, pool pavilion, tennis court cabana and diverse outdoor entertaining and activity zones.

From the overall form to the finer detailing, the design is a truly luxurious and unique residence.
