Marina Mirage is set to be a world leading tourism and residential precinct that sets a new direction for regenerative design. Its living facades fuse architecture and landscape; a hybrid where buildings literally breathe.

This is a model community, deeply sustainable with zero carbon homes, hotel and restaurants set into the wondrous gardens of a littoral rainforest. Through a series of dramatic arrival experiences, Marina Mirage envelopes guests, residents and visitors alike. Arriving via Seaworld Drive reinforces the master planned vision for the Spit.

An extraordinary public realm expands out across the Broadwater. People not cars are prioritised in this urban context. The front door opens into a 3-storey internal rainforest while visually connecting guests to the marina beyond. Public spaces wrap the site as vaulted arches, forming a connecting navigation system that acts as intuitive and experience-driven wayfinding from front door to marina boardwalk.

Inspiration for the vaulted arches is derived from European waterfront cities; aqueduct architecture creating future-focused infrastructure. A series of graduated residences share the values of a progressive and dynamic new community where collectivism is celebrated. A new architecture evocative on the Byzantine era delivers material rich modernism while celebrating Australian design culture and craft.
