STATUS
Concept
We sought to design an new Iconic center piece for Mooloolaba; a building that would redefine the image of the town and become the new focus and centre of the town during the tourist season but also year round. In order to do this we sought a single image that would unify the design and the development as a single powerful iconic statement.
The inspiration for the design came originally from David Hockney’s; “Pool with 2 figures” painted in 1972. In particular we were drawn to the patterns of the ripples in the water as the unifying element in the design. This is carried through the design from the patterning on the façade, the shape of the tower and even the ground paving pattern which unifies the public domain. At the same time, we looked to the iconic nearby Glass House Mountains for inspiration for the massing.
The site is the most significant remaining site in Mooloolaba and with the inclusion of the large portion of public domain will have absolute beach frontage. The development will shift the gravity of the town this point.
