Buchan Point Residence, Queensland

Buchan Point is a luxury Palm Cove residence, cantilevered from a prime elevated block in the locality of Buchan Point, is designed to provide 270 degree ocean views from every room. Balconies and outdoor areas are provided for each of the four bedrooms. A 1200 bottle wine cellar and tasting room are bermed into the cool of the earth on the basement level, and the residence includes a home gym and three bathrooms.

Lofty ceilings, large windows, clean, sturdy lines and an understated natural palette reinforce the spacious open plan design, with the main bedroom and living areas’ bifold doors and louvre windows opening up most of the northern face to the coral sea.

A generous overhang shades and extends the living area and main bedroom to the patio, which is trimmed flush with a curved 80,000 litre infinity lap pool that appears to float among the treetops.

Teak, one of the most prized tropical hardwoods for a marine environment, abounds throughout the design. The timber is highlighted in feature exterior cladding, batten screens, ceiling-high book shelves, interior nooks, benches and clerestory louvres.
