Wave Apartments

Wave Apartments is a concept design for a modern and luxurious residential complex at Terrigal on the Central Coast. The apartments are planned around spectacular views of the ocean. The building's unique wave shaped screening, specified in locally sourced materials, gives it a distinct and eye catching appearance.

The views and the curved design are meant to make Wave Apartments a relaxing and enjoyable place to live. Solar panels, microshading and natural ventilation make the design sustainable, with 85% of apartments receiving natural sunlight on 21 June and 80% receiving natural ventilation.

The screen is curved timber, and it takes its cue from the ocean the building looks out over. It gives the apartments privacy while keeping the airflow that the natural ventilation depends on. The undulating balconies I sketched in Germany are first cousins of the wave that wraps this building.

The renders show a resort style pool area, the kitchens, and bedrooms with views along the coastline. For more on designing apartments here, read my guide to apartments on the Central Coast.
