A magnificent new waterfront full of architectural ambition brought to life with AWS commercial systems
Gracing one of the most exclusive sites on the Sunshine Coast, Osborne House is a magnificent new waterfront home which, thanks to the vision of its owners, stands as a testament to taste and architectural ambition. Luxuriously appointed, and with stunning views across the river and marina, the home is a stunning retreat, perfectly suited for entertaining. With room to accommodate several generations, a home office, and several cars and boats, this is living on a grand scale.
The owners had initially purchased an existing property on the site and were in the process of renovation. However, it wasn’t long before they realized they’re dreams for the property required a completely fresh start. They engaged the services of Phil Quayle of PQ architects, as well as local builders.
The highest quality fixtures and finishes have been used throughout the house, with extensive use of marble, sandstone and timber. Of primary importance was the owners’ insistence on taking full advantage of the waterfront views and the relaxed indoor/outdoor Queensland lifestyle.
The exposed and aggressive marine environment called for a robust, high-performance glazing system to satisfactorily accommodate high winds and salt spray. For peace of mind, the glazing system used was also covered by a comprehensive warranty. The size and height of the window openings demanded the installation of a commercial glazing suite. The architect recommended AWS commercial window and door systems with large panel sizes to achieve the bold look the owners desired.
