Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon Apartments was conceived as five separate pavilion buildings varying in height from two to four-storey radiating around the central pool with all units having views over the pool and the lagoon. The pool has been shaped to create a seamless connection with the lagoon.

The graduating heights from two-storey beside the lagoon to four-storey at the rear are an important feature in creating a soft edge along the lagoon for the benefit of the residential development on the eastern side of the lagoon where the apartments are seen against the mountain backdrop.

A consistent architectural language has been derived from the use of functional roof forms combining the traditional hip roof with a contemporary skillion roof. The hip roofs with generous overhangs create good shading to walls and windows while the skillions over the balconies allow light to filter into the living spaces. The use of timber screens and soffit battens adds to the building’s character. Both individually and in the context, the development is offering a contemporary tropical feel with a sense of address to its surroundings.
