Hamilton Island, Qld, Guest apartment
Originally designed by renowned architect Chris Beckingham, the visionary behind Qualia, this luxury waterfront holiday home has been enhanced with thoughtful new additions by Andrew Waller Design. Situated on Hamilton Island and backing onto the scenic Passage Peak National Park, the residence combines architectural refinement with natural surroundings. Key updates include the addition of an upper level to the southern pavilion, creating a guest apartment that offers privacy and panoramic views. The apartment’s living space has been extended with a Northern terrace, shaded by a sailcloth covering, and a spacious Eastern balcony to enhance the connection with the tropical environment. Inside, the open-plan bedroom and living space features bespoke joinery, including a custom robe and desk crafted in New Guinea Rosewood, a material that complements the building's architectural materials, highlighting the seamless link between interior and exterior design. The bathroom, with its striking Verde Oceania marble, adds a touch of luxury, with raised dormer roofline to capture sweeping vistas of the resort and beyond. This redesign ensures the home’s seamless integration with its natural landscape while providing an elevated experience of island living.
