Arlington Apartments
Status: Proposal
Objective
On a Cairns waterfront site facing the Coral Sea to the east and a lagoon to the south, a design for a luxury apartment complex was required to address flooding issues and protected stands of indigenous trees.
Outcome
- 16 super-luxury apartments are distributed in three buildings to enable protection of trees
- Each building is four levels suspended above a screened understorey reminiscent of a traditional ‘Queenslander”
- Each apartment is essentially a screened veranda containing enclosed spaces and service pods
