The Corner House Wins award at Gold Coast Master Builder’s awards night

Sanctuary 28’s Don Cotterill has been recognised for building excellence at the annual Master Builders Awards for over 18 consecutive years. Now, Sanctuary 28 are popping the Champagne for yet another major industry gong, celebrating their latest architecturally designed display home, The Corner House.

The Corner House has just been awarded as the winner in the category of Display Home valued at over $551,000 in the Master Builders Gold Coast Housing Awards. Judged on its livability and design, innovation, workmanship and degree of construction difficultly, The Corner House more than ticked all of the boxes!

The unique residential development located on the busy intersection at 70 TE Peters Drive exemplifies Sanctuary 28’s ingenuity and craftsmanship - setting a remarkable new benchmark for the future of residential housing across the South-east Queensland and beyond.

Designed in consultation with Architect Paul Uhlmann, The Corner House sits on a 638 square meter corner block and features two floors of sun-drenched living space with four bespoke bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, expansive kitchen and entertaining areas, resort-style swimming pool, as well as an adjoining fully-contained living or work space – all under the one roof!

An impressive two-storey, landscaped courtyard/atrium lies at the centre of the 412 square metre home. This dreamy light-filled space creates a pristine vista enjoyed from all areas of the house whilst maximising family privacy. Following the regional Master Builders award win, The Corner House will now compete for the coveted State title to be announced in October 2020.

Currumbin Copperhouse

Copperhouse, designed by Paul Uhlmann Architects, Build executed by Sanctuary 28

Taking pride of place on Currumbin hill, overlooking the pristine creek and out to the surfers skyline is Copper House, Sanctuary28’s recently completed three-storey project. 

Renowned Architect Paul Uhlmann was commissioned to design a functional family home but with a signature style that would stand the test of time. 

The exterior facade is unique with its shapely curves.  Copper cladding is a standout feature, wrapping two levels.  Circular balustrade screening provides an artistic element as well as privacy to the carport.

Curves in all the right places

Timber is a dominant feature of this home, used extensively, inside and out.  The staircase wraps around a blackbutt feature wall, visually appealing when seen from the transparent lift shaft.  Level 1 is dedicated to sleeping.  Galley style rooms with slideaway walls has catered for this large family.  A locker style laundry cupboard assists with daily organization. The bathrooms are sleek and hotel inspired.

The top level is the heart of the home.  Dedicated to living.  A glass wine display takes pride of place in the dining room.  The timber curved ceiling adds depth and warmth.  The view is breathtaking, equally beautiful day or night.  This level has restaurant quality ambience, an entertainer’s delight.  Guests are in for a treat as they are also located on this level.

The ideal location paired with a striking facade sets this home in good standing to becoming one of the Gold Coast’s iconic homes.  Be sure to check back as we will have more photos of this beautiful home soon.
