Positioned within one of Australia’s most tightly held coastal enclaves, the Wategos Residence is a refined response to its environment, balancing architectural restraint with a strong connection to landscape, light and ocean.
This project embodies a contemporary coastal language, where built form, materiality and spatial planning are carefully calibrated to enhance the lifestyle synonymous with Wategos Beach.

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.
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.

This single storey Casuarina home was designed by Architect Scott Carpenter, and is the perfect demonstration of a clever use of space on a tight block. Drawing inspiration from homes in Palm Springs, this modern home features polished concrete floors, a seamless transition from indoors to out, and a state of art kitchen that makes entertaining outdoors a breeze.
Welcome to 'Happiness House'. Winner of ‘Best Contract House’ within price category. A great result for our construction team, client and architect Scott Carpenter.
This home is located in the sleepy coastal town of Cabarita. The home is a perfect blend of Industrial meets modern style. As a photographer, our client Vanessa is always on the search for the right light. It is fitting that her two storey home has been designed so that key living areas are bathed in natural and filtered light. Scroll below for more inspiration.
The Casuarina Home
As you approach you wonder where the driveway and garage door are, the timber facade looks good and the stone filled gabian baskets that frame the entrance are different. You love the look of the seamless polished concrete floor and straight away you feel a sense of space.
