Mermaid Waters

Mermaid Waters includes canal properties, established family homes and redevelopment opportunities across a broad residential area. Architecture should balance water orientation, privacy, afternoon sun, landscape and practical access while responding to the particular geometry and constraints of the site.

A measured relationship between street and water.

The Mermaid Waters locality intersects Version 13 mapping for canals and lakes, waterfront controls, flood assessment, low-elevation land, several residential densities and height boundaries, and parts of the light-rail urban-renewal area. The mapped condition changes between canal-front, lake-edge and inland properties. Site levels, waterway setbacks, previous approvals and any body-corporate or private obligations should therefore be investigated for the individual address.

Canal outlooks should not make the street side of a Mermaid Waters home an afterthought. Arrival, service access and landscape can establish privacy before rooms open toward the water. Deep eaves and strategically solid walls help control afternoon sun, while low garden elements can preserve long views without turning the waterside edge into an exposed terrace.

Architecture shaped by climate, outlook and landscape.

City Plan mapping can identify zoning, building height, dwelling-house, flood, coastal, bushfire, environmental and other considerations. These controls are property-specific, so early advice begins with the address and current planning information rather than a suburb-wide assumption.

Good residential design on the Gold Coast balances shade, filtered light, ventilation, privacy and durable materials with the way a home connects to garden, water or terrain. The response changes significantly between an ocean-facing apartment, a canal property, an established coastal street and a hinterland site.

我们从事住宅、公寓及公共项目的设计。

有些项目始于一块土地。
 

有些始于一栋已有些老旧的房子。也有些始于一个更大的想法——如何让一个地方变得更好、更适合使用。
 

我们的工作,是认真倾听、清晰表达、充分推敲每一个设计想法,并帮助将这些想法一步步转化为真正可以建成的建筑。
