Lighthouse-Inspired Homes Revealed for Burleigh

Gold Coast developer CS Collective is pushing ahead with plans for an eight-apartment luxury development at Burleigh Heads. The developer, made up of Luke Carter and David Skeen, is adding to its portfolio of Glitter Strip projects with a mixed-use development on an 834sq m triangular peninsula site at 13 West Street, designed by Plus Architecture. The medium-rise apartment block would comprise 2141sq m of gross floor area with retail on the ground floor and a subterranean bathhouse, tapping into the wellness phenomenon, which Plus Architecture principal Chrisney Formosa said was gaining traction across many sectors. “Wellness is a phenomenal trend we are seeing both in the commercial and residential markets,” Formosa said. “The idea of the Japanese soakhouse has been steadily growing in popularity as a way to escape and rejuvenate from our ever-increasing demanding lives. “The design [of the building] was inspired by the idea of a lighthouse—the prominence, the illuminance and the visual distinctiveness it provides that has a defining characteristic on a location.” ▲ A render of Lantern Burleigh, which takes style cues from coastal lighthouses on the Gold Coast. Each of the eight apartments have been designed as a sub-penthouse with double-height spaces and signature circular windows inspired by a lighthouse. “We've conceived the building as a lighthouse for the area – visible on approach and offering expansive views across one of Australia's most beautiful beaches,” Formosa said. CS Collective director Luke Carter said they wanted to create a “landmark that resonates with the ... community”. Co-director David Skeen said the project delivered a “complete lifestyle offering”. That also includes private and communal rooftop spaces, featuring infinity pools, saunas, and steam rooms, that “capitalise on the site’s stunning 360-degree ocean views,” he said. The project is aimed at luxury buyers, CS Collective said, who are looking for wellness, amenities, access and quality design. It joins a growing number of luxury medium-rise developments springing up across the Coast. Plus Architecture’s Chrisney Formosa said medium-rise boutique apartments were always in demand because they provided “a smaller and more selective community for the luxury buyer who may be downsizing”.
