Steps from the beach, in the quiet Queensland town of Tugun, our Lusso apartments offer a human-scaled home for modern oceanside living.
Its simple rectilinear form is softened by rounded corners and edges, influenced by the erosion of waves on natural landforms and the textural nuances found in shells. Balconies are fringed by a powder-coated steel balustrade, in a curvilinear style reminiscent of retro pool fencing. The exterior is punctuated by deep forest green details, marking arches, entryways and an internal staircase to the penthouse rooftop.
Interiors are characterised by warm timbers, with a sun-bleached base palette of neutral stone and white walls, creating a relaxed environment through carefully layered textures. Abundant natural light and views out to coastal surroundings give residents a constant connection to their locale from within.
The rooftop features private terraces for penthouse apartments, as well as a communal terrace where residents can entertain and enjoy idyllic ocean views in shared company. This boutique architectural development represents a unique lifestyle offering within its suburban context, raising the design standard for Tugun.
