Set within one of the Gold Coast’s most established coastal precincts, Camilla is a 25-storey residential tower by Carr for QNY, with architecture and interiors conceived as a unified expression. Positioned 300 metres from the shoreline in Broadbeach, the project brings together a boutique collection of residences and wellness-led amenity within a calm, enduring coastal setting.

The development comprises a vertical sequence of residences, beginning with two-bedroom half-floor apartments from levels 2 to 16, transitioning to expansive full-floor three-bedroom homes above, and culminating in a two-storey penthouse. Each residence is shaped by openness, cross ventilation and privacy, with carefully framed outlooks to the ocean, city and hinterland. Generous balconies and open-air planning establish a strong connection to the outdoors, supporting a lifestyle attuned to climate, light and movement. The building is oriented to capture uninterrupted eastern views across adjacent parklands, reinforcing its connection to place.

Architecturally, Camilla is defined by restraint and compositional clarity. A palette of raw concrete, textured masonry and neutral earthy tones grounds the building within its coastal setting, favouring tactility and permanence over applied expression. The massing is softened through deep reveals, layered thresholds and subtle transitions between inside and out. Screening elements and angled glazing introduce rhythm and softness to the façade while providing solar control and privacy, allowing the building to engage with its environment in a considered and responsive way. The result is a calm counterpoint to the surrounding skyline, offering a measured alternative to more expressive coastal forms.

The interiors extend this architectural language through a refined material palette and a focus on sensory experience. Spaces are composed to feel enduring and intuitive, balancing warmth with clarity. Natural light and airflow shape the daily experience of each residence, while layouts prioritise flexibility and ease of living. Interiors and terraces are seamlessly connected, dissolving boundaries between inside and outside to reinforce a sense of coastal calm and continuity.

At ground and podium levels, a series of shared amenities support a wellness-focused lifestyle. Arrival is marked by a sculptural entry sequence, where water and landscape establish a quiet, immersive threshold. A magnesium pool, spa, cold plunge, saunas and residents’ gym are complemented by calm communal spaces designed for retreat and connection. These spaces are conceived as an extension of the home, offering moments of pause within one of the Gold Coast’s most established and connected coastal precincts.

Camilla establishes a new architectural language for Broadbeach, one defined by discipline, material integrity and longevity. It is a study in quiet luxury, where considered design and a deep responsiveness to place come together to shape a timeless coastal address.
