‘Border North’ is a carefully planned 10.6 hectare development designed to create affordable, environmentally friendly homes with modern flair. The design team brief is to utilise the natural elements of the site to create an attractive, yet environmentally sensitive blend of residences to complement the existing community.
Residences
The residences feature 3 bedrooms, study, two car parking spaces and large courtyards with low maintenance gardens. Mains natural gas has been reticulated to the site for hot water and cooking. All construction has high energy efficiency rating and water efficient devices including rainwater tanks. The location is close to schools, shops, beaches, parks, clubs, the M1 Motorway and the Gold Coast Airport. This Currumbin development is specifically small pet friendly and importantly close to public transport for people looking for an economical lifestyle. A range of construction materials and techniques have been used to produce homes that are unique in character with many environmentally sensitive design features.
Energy Efficiency
Site orientation and internal positioning of living spaces were important elements in maximizing the energy efficiency of the dwellings. To further complement this, our architects designed a roof profile positioned to capture the cooling valley and ocean breezes that sweep through the area. This design feature is further enhanced with high ceilings and large room sizes, reducing the need for air-conditioning, as the natural sub-tropical climate of the area is effectively utilized.
‘Border North’ has been intentionally designed for comfort and convenience without compromising the environment.
