This large-scale waterfront residence in Currumbin Waters, QLD, was an inspiring project that allowed us to explore the intersection of luxury, authenticity, and refined lighting design. From the outset, it was clear that this home was something special—its bold architectural forms, intricate detailing, and use of natural materials created a sense of timeless elegance and sophistication. Our objective was to deliver a lighting solution that would not only complement the architecture but also elevate the experience of each space throughout the home, both functionally and emotionally.

The design called for a highly tailored approach, where lighting would feel like an extension of the architecture rather than an addition to it. We achieved this by integrating a range of lighting elements that subtly enhance the home’s character. Linear LED strips were meticulously installed to follow the strong lines and sharp angles of the building, highlighting the geometry and creating a soft, ambient glow that enhances the natural textures of timber, stone, and concrete. Recessed can lights were selected to blend effortlessly with the interiors, providing targeted illumination while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic.

A standout feature of the home is the double-height star void, where we suspended our stunning Arctic pendant to create a dramatic focal point. This sculptural piece adds a sense of grandeur while reinforcing the home's luxurious yet understated atmosphere. Throughout the living areas and circulation spaces, inset plaster downlights were used to achieve a clean, seamless ceiling profile, allowing the architectural features and materiality to take centre stage.

Our design intent was always to ensure the lighting felt intentional and considered at every angle—enhancing rather than interrupting the visual language of the home. Every light source was chosen and positioned with purpose, resulting in a harmonious balance between light and shadow, function and form. The outcome is a home that feels warm, inviting, and alive with subtle layers of illumination that respond to the architecture and daily rhythm of its occupants.

Being part of this remarkable project was both a privilege and a creative challenge. We are incredibly proud of the final result and how the lighting contributes to the home’s overall atmosphere. It is a true testament to the power of thoughtful design—where the lights don’t simply illuminate, but instead bring the architecture to life in its most authentic and beautiful form.
