Bela

Bela

Bela by Mosaic was Mosaic’s first Gold Coast development, designed in partnership with Rothelowman. Located in Mermaid Beach, Bela has highly coveted coastal views to both the northeast and southeast coastline and views of the hinterland and mountains in the southwest.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Gold Coast beach shacks of the 1950s, Rothelowman has reinterpreted the architectural language and qualities of the quintessential modernist ‘beach home’ through a collection of 119 vertically stacked ‘beach home’ apartments over 25 levels.Spacious living areas have a seamless connection to expansive balconies, with lavish and clever interior design bringing indulgent opulence to every residence.

High-quality finishes and appliances, custom joinery and stone benchtops are celebrated throughout, complimented perfectly by an exquisite range of 22 luxury facilities. The building is crowned with an exclusive club on Level 26, hosting a wine cellar, private dining rooms, kitchen, beautifully appointed library, lounge and media room.

Mosaic Property Group is incredibly mindful of the footprint it leaves behind, not just on communities but also on the environment. Some of the sustainability measures undertaken at Bela are:

  • Bela’s exemplar subtropical design includes clever passive features that reduce solar heat load and provide for natural breezes. Horizontal slab projections shade glazing to minimise solar impacts in summer and improve energy efficiency by 35%.
  • A 20kW rooftop solar panel system that feeds directly into a communal power supply, reducing energy costs.
  • A 30 000L water tank and automated irrigation system that capture rainwater for re-use, reducing water consumption and sustaining the extensive landscaping.
  • Considered ventilation measures with palisade balustrades improve energy efficiency by up to 35%, extensive balconies with full-height sliding doors and naturally ventilated corridors, eliminating the need for air-conditioning low-use spaces.
  • Generous, genuine deep planting accounts for 11% of total site area and native species enrich street appeal and thrive in the harsher coastal environment.
  • The upper sub-penthouse level of the project was designed to be interchangeable with the lower typical levels – this flexible floor plate design created efficiencies in building and provided a clever response to market conditions.

North Harbour

North Harbour

Environmental excellence is at the heart of the vision North Harbour. Achievement of all six elements in the Envirodevelopment accreditation program demonstrates the commitment North Harbour has made to achieving environmentally sustainable development.

North Harbour has been master-planned to offer a complete destination lifestyle – developed in harmony with the area’s natural features that directly support or appreciate the biological, natural, and environmental values of the area.

Historically, the site was significantly degraded because of previous land uses, including 40 years of pine plantation forestry. The project team has approached this scenario as an opportunity to deliver meaningful and observable environmental improvements.

Central to the North Harbour community is restoration of sizeable areas of native vegetation. After more than 15 hectares of revegetation along the Caboolture River, and 81 hectares along Raff Creek North Harbour is now voluntarily taking additional steps to encourage native animal species to return to these revegetated areas.

Coupled with the preservation and ecological improvement of remaining areas of existing mature native vegetation, these works provide a host of environmental benefits including improved bank stability, reduced nutrient loads and improved water quality in the waterways.

North Harbour has delivered substantial improvements to stormwater runoff quality by designing and delivering constructed wetlands at the interface between development and waterway corridors. These wetlands have become a well-utilised resource for a variety of native fauna. With the inclusion of a bird hide and adjoining walking trails, opportunity is made for the community to enjoy and appreciate this green space also.

A variety of environmental initiatives and partnerships with the broader community also demonstrate North Harbour’s commitment to developing an environmentally sustainable community with ongoing environmental benefits.

All these benefits are seen in North Harbour’s large and leafy public spaces, neighbourhoods are walkable, cycleways plentiful, road networks connected, and transport integrated.
