Q. What was the brief assigned to you for Prominence?
The brief of this project was simple but not simplistic — to create a beautiful and crafted series of bespoke residences in a unique beachside location.
Q. What was the inspiration behind the design concept for Prominence?
We wanted to create a building that had a subtle coastal elegance but also responded directly to its breathtaking landscape and abundance of nature reserves. The integral process of designing Prominence was more akin to conceptualising a refined sculpture or piece of art, which gives this project a distinct individualistic feel.
Q. What are some of Prominence’s key design elements?
The way the slab shape has been designed to deliberately rise from the curve to its peak captures Mermaid Beach’s idyllic views effortlessly. Vertical screens also reflect this movement and in doing so, create subtle curvatures to soften the exterior. Every inch of Prominence has been carefully created to coherently work together as one. Each of the residences has been thoughtfully designed to allow an influx of sunlight whilst presenting residents with unimpeded views. A consistent flow has been achieved not only within the architecture but within the planning of the interiors and landscaping with collaborators Mim Design and Lead Design Group.
Q. Did the location of the project influence the design process and if so, how?
The location of Prominence, which is situated on a highly-coveted corner site, allowed us to adjust and curate the plan to have a dual aspect.
Q. Can you describe the materiality of this project?
Prominence’s materiality is refined and sophisticated. A chromatic brushed metal features in the screening to convey timelessness. A sleek and elegant slab edge in bronzed polished chrome highlights its exaggerated form. Natural stone grounds the architecture into the landscape, whilst the glass and concrete complement the luxurious nature of the levels above.
Q. Explain what the residents will experience when living in Prominence?
We have designed Prominence to evoke luxury at its finest. Refinement and elegance is found at every turn and in every detail, which will create timeless living and effortless entertaining for all of Prominence’s residents.

Q. What is your vision for Prominence?
The vision for Prominence was to create a timeless living space inspired by its natural surroundings, reflecting the ebbs and flows of the pristine shoreline, in an effort to provide rejuvenation and invigoration to the owner and occupier.
Q. How does the design respond to the architecture?
The architectural form of Prominence is inspired by the energetics of a wave and its curves, and the dynamic nature of the ocean. Expanding on this notion, water is forever changing, carving new forms into the surrounding shoreline and creating altering rock forms and pools. Intriguingly, the motion of a wave carves more insular moments within its landscape, providing a safe haven from the very thing that defines it. Using this juxtaposition, the architectural form demonstrates the drama of the ocean, whilst the interior design reflects the more meditative moments found within the ocean and its surrounding shoreline.
Q. Can you talk us through some of the signature materials and features included throughout?
The interior design palette features soft blues, subdued creams, glistening champagnes and palatable greens, mimicking the shoreline. Natural timber floor boards are combined with soft blue stone accents, accentuated by subtle beige tones in the textured wallpaper as well as soft wool carpet.
Q. How do you want residents to feel when they interact with the space?
The interior design, with its strong use of materiality, is combined with a functional and spacious open floor plan. It’s imbued with the dynamism and meditative moments found within the ocean to bring about a feeling of restoration and invigoration. Each home features high-end appliances, fixtures and fittings to bring ease and comfortability to everyday living.
Q. Do you have a favourite space or feature within Prominence?
One of the best and most unique features of Prominence is the large spatial planning, offering an expansive kitchen, living, dining and bar zone. The bedrooms are generous and kept separate from the habitable areas to provide opportunities for private time for the residents.
Q. What do you love about the location of this project?
Prominence is located in Mermaid Beach, which is a pristine and beautiful seaside community nestled against the lush hinterland. Visitors are drawn to the idyllic waters, vibrant township and sense of community.

Q. What do you enjoy most about landscape architecture?
What we love most about landscape architecture is creating memorable outdoor spaces for people to socialise, relax and engage with their surroundings. It’s a fantastic field to exercise creativity whilst tackling the mix of comfort and utility needed to ensure the spaces captivate and engage the users, especially with a high-end project like Prominence.
Q. What are some of the things you look for when designing a landscape?
First and foremost, it’s important for us to gain a deep understanding into the existing conditions and surroundings to allow the proposed new landscape to seamlessly integrate into the area. During this process, we think creatively to find new ways of standing out, to create an evocative space that provides a strong connection with the natural elements and future residents.
Q. What can residents expect with the landscaping of Prominence?
The landscaping of Prominence will comprise of a serene resort-style sanctuary; residents will be immersed in lush plantings and boutique finishes that exude the feeling of a sophisticated carefree beachside atmosphere.
Q. Tell us more about the design process associated with this project and the integration of species into the coastal climate?
We collaborated closely with the team at Plus Architecture to design recreational spaces that maximise the expansive ocean views. Consideration of climate is essential for a project in the Mermaid Beach region, especially when it comes to landscape design and plant selection. The species we have chosen will thrive in this coastal environment.
Q. Describe the challenges you face with today’s changing climate and how you work around these issues.
Since landscaping is often the last element to be completed in the development, it usually means we get value management constraints to make up for losses elsewhere. We try to work closely with the client throughout the process to communicate the importance and value of our work and the benefits of a dynamic landscape. We communicate the importance of this with our clients at the start of the project to ensure there are sufficient budget allocations for our shared vision.
Q. As a landscape architect, what is the beauty of living in a suburb like Mermaid Beach?
The world-class beaches with lush parklands are a constant source of inspiration and being able to walk to the beach for a surf before or after work is quite an idyllic way to live.
