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.

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.

'Pac Av' the New Landmark Multi-Residential Building for Tannum Sands

High on the hill there is a new bold identity for the once tired and dated corner in Tannum Sands, south of Gladstone. The iconic site has been reinvented with a new multi-residential complex with some ground level retail tenancies to maximise the utilisation of the site.

The built form merges angular and curvaceous language to impose the 5 level and basement structure on the landmark site. The design of the iconic 'Pac Av' development has been successfully achieved through a collaborative process between client and design team. Through the use of robust materials and finishes in bold and contrasting form and colours, the once tired site has been reactivated.

Below are some shots of the completed building.

New Brisbane Residence

The newest addition to the BRD Group residential portfolio – a strikingly contemporary home in Brisbane.

With a spectacular aspect to the City, the house is laid out over 4 levels to best capture views – the lowest being partially in-ground, which lends to the overall sustainability of the building envelope. Further in tune with its surroundings, the house features extensive glazing, plunge pool/spa and spacious terraces that stretch out to bring the outside in. Walking through the house, glimpses of the city and surroundings are never missed as maximum glazing offers views out in all directions, and fill the house with light.  While the vast amounts of glazing allows light to enter, it also allows cross ventilation - further encouraged with ceiling fans and operational louvres.

The program of the open plan home include a 3 car garage, 4 bedrooms, study, office, feature living room fireplace, activity room, and over sized kitchen.

A palette of glass, aluminium, concrete, stone and sharp angles make this home a real knockout.
