About Mermaid Beach Residence

Concrete Elegance Meets Beachfront Beauty

Nestled along Queensland’s surf beach lies the Mermaid Beach Residence. This family home showcases a concrete-dominated design, both inside and out, echoing the homeowners’ passion for the robust material. Furthermore, operable timber shutters grace the external windows.

An Emblem of Permanence

The Mermaid Beach Residence’s architecture embodies stability and endurance. It represents a profound human yearning: the longing for permanence and the emotional commitment to settle.

Nature’s Contrasts: Stability vs. Transience

Ironically, this permanent structure stands on the shifting sands of a beach, a realm of constant erosion and movement. Its location exposes it to cyclonic winds, fierce thunderstorms, and intense sunlight.

Architectural Responses to Nature’s Challenges

The architecture addresses these elemental challenges. It offers privacy and protection from unpredictable weather. Yet, it also presents a contrasting identity: a laid-back, sunlit family haven with direct beach access.

Harmonizing Function with Timeless Design

The residence’s material choices and layout stem from this duality, seamlessly blending the family’s desire for a timeless, efficient abode.
