Beachfront Mirage Residence
Located in the exclusive Beachfront Mirage Estate in Port Douglas, this residence has been crafted to completely respond passively to the tropical climate. The materials are rich and skillfully crafted, from the large full height timber doors and windows to the colonnade of precisely cast concrete fins.
The design is based on a contemporary, tropical theme using three pavilions, each only one room in width, linked by a central timber boardwalk. The main pavilion focuses on two courtyards - one has a deep cool granite lined pool with adjacent outdoor entertaining area under a fine timber lined pergola. The other features a sunken courtyard with a teppanyaki grill set into a table of stone.
