Marella by Mosaic is a 30-storey luxury residential tower at Broadbeach developed and constructed by Mosaic Property Group and designed in partnership with Plus Studio.
Completed this year, Marella by Mosaic features 98 luxury two- and three-bedroom residences and penthouses, with every apartment capturing views of the ocean.
Plus Studio principal Chrisney Formosa said they were inspired by the golden colour of the afternoon sun hitting the sand and the way water moved along the coastline when outlining the architectural vision for the tower with Marella’s form uniquely responsive to its site.
“With the facade creating refractions of light that glisten and glow, we have pushed creative boundaries whilst ensuring constructability,” she said.
Marella by Mosaic is a new 30-storey luxury residential tower at Broadbeach, completed this year.
“The tower achieves its sculptural, flowing appearance through an innovative approach – using carefully angled straight elements rather than curved panels.
“With a sand-toned, warm and tactile material palette, the building is accented in golden bronze hues that radiate light.
“Responding to the climate and to ensure comfort, the building has a solid form on the west to block unwanted sun, whilst the east side has been glazed to invite morning light and maximise the spectacular views toward the golden Broadbeach coastline.”
Hotel-style amenities at Marella include a grand lobby featuring full-height glazed entry doors, timber-look panelling, high ceilings, curated artwork and warmly-lit spaces that glow from the street.
Marella is the second completed design collaboration between Plus Studio and Mosaic Property Group.
“With layered, lush integrated planting extending to level one, the ground floor is further activated, drawing attention toward the entrance on the prominent corner site and creating a subtropical sanctuary,” Ms Formosa said.
Level one has wellness facilities including a pool, outdoor dining areas with a parkland outlook, gymnasium, sauna and steam room.
The standout amenity is the level 11 residents’ lounge featuring a private dining room, wine cellar, and terrace.
Mosaic founder and managing director Brook Monahan said it was a building that delivered more than just a place to live.
Marella is the seventh project Plus Studio has designed in Broadbeach.
“It offers residents an elevated experience in every sense – from world-class amenities and architectural integrity, to a location that puts the very best of Broadbeach right at their doorstep,” he said.
Ms Formosa said the project’s success reflected the strength of the partnership with the outcome the result of a deeply-collaborative design process with Mosaic.
“They don’t just hand over a site and step back – they bring an incredibly clear vision, detailed briefs, and an unwavering focus on quality,” she said.
“That clarity and rigour pushed us to deliver our best.”
Marella was designed in partnership with Plus Studio, who were inspired by the golden colour of the afternoon sun hitting the sand and the way water moved along the coastline when outlining the architectural vision for the tower.
Marella is the second completed design collaboration between Plus Studio and Mosaic Property Group following Dawn by Mosaic in Mermaid Beach. A third, Lily by Mosaic, which neighbours Marella, is due for completion later this year. The development is also the seventh project Plus Studio has designed in Broadbeach.
