A Coastal Site.
A Considered Response.
At Marcoola Shores on the Sunshine Coast, the Green Turtle project called for more than a home that fitted its narrow block. The design also needed to respond to its sensitive coastal setting and the acoustic pressures of the nearby airport.
Azura considered native vegetation, sand dune impacts, turtle nesting and estate covenant requirements alongside the way the owners wanted to live. Materials were selected with exposure to the coastal elements in mind.
Space to gather
Light Interiors.
Everyday Ease.
The open-plan kitchen and living area create a bright central space for everyday life. Floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry includes a concealed microwave space, keeping the kitchen’s lines clean and practical.
Vinyl flooring throughout supports the relaxed beachside feel. A Juliet balcony at the front takes in the western outlook towards Mount Coolum and beyond.
An outdoor shower at the second-level landing provides a practical place to rinse away sand before heading inside.
Room to retreat
Private Spaces.
Flexible Living.
Two generous bedrooms and two separate living areas give this compact site a flexible layout. The main bedroom includes a custom walk-in robe and large ensuite.
On the lower level, the second bedroom sits alongside its own living space and a separate entrance. This arrangement creates options for guests and the changing needs of the household.
Above, a third-level open rooftop terrace is reached by an external aluminium tread staircase, offering another place to enjoy the coastal setting.
