From the street, the Alma Residence presents a bold yet elegant façade defined by clean lines, layered textures, and a restrained material palette. As a home designed for a coastal environment, all materials were selected for saltwater durability, longevity, and low maintenance, without compromising visual appeal.

The rear of the home opens to an expansive waterfront outdoor living zone, where a resort-style swimming pool, sunken fire pit, and landscaped terraces connect seamlessly with the canal. This carefully considered layout enhances the experience of Gold Coast waterfront living, maximising views, privacy, and outdoor enjoyment year-round.

At the centre of the home, a spacious internal courtyard provides light, ventilation, and a sense of calm. This flexible outdoor space functions as both an entertaining area and a private retreat, reinforcing the principles of subtropical and coastal house design.

Inside, the home embraces openness and flow. Large-format glazing and expansive windows frame uninterrupted water views, allowing natural light and coastal breezes to define the interior experience. The colour palette draws directly from the surrounding environment, with soft coastal tones inspired by sand, sky, and water — a hallmark of Templo Studio’s contemporary coastal design approach.

The three-level layout allows for clearly defined zones, offering privacy for growing families while maintaining strong visual and spatial connections throughout the home. Every element has been carefully resolved to respond to site conditions, lifestyle needs, and long-term liveability — core principles of quality Gold Coast residential design.

More than a residence, Alma is a private sanctuary that exemplifies custom waterfront home design on the Gold Coast. It reflects Templo Studio’s commitment to creating architecture that is timeless, site-responsive, and deeply connected to the coastal lifestyle.
