January 2019

Construction for stage 1 of the $2.7M upgrade of the Cairns North Sports Precinct is underway.

This Commonwealth-funded project will assist the growth of hockey in the Far North in alignment with development strategies for Northern Australia.

TPG Architects devised a master plan which will see a new stadium linking the ‘Rainforest’ and ‘Reef’ pitches, enabling a sweeping overview of both fields for spectators during tournaments and practice sessions.

The new stadium will serve as a welcoming contemporary facility hosting local sports and international visitors alike. We look forward to watching the project unfold in the coming months.

These holiday apartments offer private luxury living space with a sophisticated street presence. Located in the centre of Port Douglas, the seven apartments have either two or three bedrooms, including a penthouse with rooftop pool. Embracing the tropical setting, a covered walkway over a private rainforest bridge leads to each front door.

Each apartment has been designed to maximise the feeling of light, while embracing tropical living through light materials, water features and timber accents. Proudly created to be as eco-friendly as possible with solar panels, battery storage and smart technology, the single-stacked stepped design captures natural airflow which generates passive cooling and reduces the use of air conditioning, hence reducing electricity bills substantially.
