Aalto is a luxury Gold Coast high-rise development exploring notions of openness and connection within a tower structure that touches the earth lightly.
The 38-storey beachfront tower on Garfield Terrace in Surfer’s Paradise features a unique podium design. Combined with the building’s soft-edged form and lush landscaping, it creates a sense of openness and acts as an extension of the natural dune landscape and surrounding public green spaces.
The full and half-floor residences have been designed to provide intimate, enveloping spaces while embracing the luxury of space.
Sub-tropical design in action
The distinctive building form is derived from sub-tropical design principles with expansive outdoor living spaces and a robust material palette. Its absolute beachfront setting is amplified by sequencing the arrival towards the elevated position of the pool deck, drawing movement through a series of stepping landscapes.
The tower’s podium is purposefully unenclosed, providing light-filled outdoor spaces which invite the natural elements of the coast deep within the building footprint. Articulated edges are expressed rhythmically, with corners softened and long sweeping forms taking cues from the longshore drift – the inimitable movement of drifting sands and water along the coastline.
