Australian Development Review has published the penthouse at La Mer, Main Beach, under the headline “$18M La Mer Penthouse Hits Gold Coast Market.” Sici designed the interiors.
The residence takes the top two floors of a twenty-nine level tower, six hundred square metres with four bedrooms, an ocean-facing main retreat with its own lounge, a rooftop pool and an outdoor kitchen. The sand is sixty-eight steps from the door. The building has topped out, with completion expected later this year.
At this level a buyer is not acquiring a view. The ocean is already in every window. What is being chosen is how the rooms hold a day, where the light lands in the morning, how a stair is proportioned, which materials will still read well in ten years.
Architect and Founding Director Maria Papadopoulos is quoted in the piece: “Luxury isn’t defined by how something looks, but how it makes you feel.”
Earlier this year a penthouse at Burleigh Heads sold off the plan for a reported thirty million dollars, the highest price paid for an apartment in Queensland. Sici designed its interiors, and it sold before it was even built. La Mer is the second penthouse on this stretch of coast to come to market with the studio’s work inside it.
