123 OBR by Bottega will be a one-of-a-kind “Beach home” collection of residences designed to create a new definition of Broadbeach architecture. The architecture of the tower is defined by sculpted, raft-like projections; articulated slab edges shaped to provide privacy, but still maintain views and amenity. The bow-like shapes are a playful nautical reference, given the tower’s proximity to the beach and ocean.
The ‘bow’ motif is consistently expressed throughout the facade, and also forms the crown of the tower, capping the two storey penthouse housed on Levels 16 and 17. The roof peels away above the penthouse living area, forming a skylight that also emphasises the raft shape.
The core of the building has also been designed to afford more space to the verandah, allowing 2 private express journey passenger lifts, ease of movement, and a greater opportunity to dwell within the space. Residents will enter through The ‘Gatehouse’, another iteration of the ‘bow,’ floats above the ground floor threshold, marking the entry into the site. The gatehouse bow will be dressed in draping greenery, and by punctuated by a feature tree growing through the oculus.
123 Old Burleigh Road is well positioned in walking distance to parklands, restaurants, and the beach. The iconic architecture will present a strong contrast to the the surrounding area mix of multi-storey residential developments, and hotels, with pockets of mid-century and traditional bungalow style dwellings.
