Sorrento
Sorrento is an established canal neighbourhood where waterfront orientation and suburban street character meet. Good residential architecture balances views, privacy, shade, afternoon heat, landscape and water-edge conditions, with early attention to the property information that shapes what can be built.

Canal homes with a composed garden edge.
Sorrento is a recognised local precinct within the official Bundall locality, not a separate Queensland locality for planning searches. Version 13 mapping across Bundall includes canal and Nerang River edges, waterfront controls, flood assessment, wetlands, low-elevation land and varying residential height conditions. Only an address-based search can establish what applies to a particular Sorrento property; site levels, waterway setbacks and existing approvals should be confirmed early.
Sorrento’s canal-front properties need more than a broad rear opening. Layered terraces, shade and waterside planting can create depth between living rooms and the canal, while the street frontage remains calm and private. A renovation can often improve the whole sequence by reorganising service areas and circulation before expanding the building footprint.

Send the address and any survey or water-edge information you have. We can help test the renovation, site and approval strategy before design begins.

TURNER+ welcomes enquiries for new homes, major renovations, extensions, coastal design, sloping sites and pre-purchase architectural advice across the Gold Coast.
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.
Residential Architect Goldcoast
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。
