Sur is a new landmark on Kirra Beach, redefining coastal luxury with its striking architectural presence and seamless connection to the ocean. Positioned at the Entry to Kirra on a rare 30-metre stretch of north-facing beachfront, the development captures uninterrupted views from Stradbroke Island to Rainbow Bay. The residences balance grandeur with practicality, featuring expansive living areas, private lift access, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Designed for longevity and sustainability, Sur incorporates passive design strategies, energy-efficient double glazing, and water-sensitive landscaping. A full-floor amenity level includes an oceanfront pool, fitness centre, and sauna, enhancing residents’ wellbeing. A collaboration between architects, interior designers, and engineers, the project blends refined aesthetics with functional excellence. Setting a new benchmark for Kirra, Sur embodies effortless beachfront living.
Sur’s fin-like floor plan, curved nosecone, and timber wave detailing pay homage to Kirra’s longboard surfing culture, an integral part of this beachfront address. Expanses of double-curved glazing frame panoramic coastal views while inviting natural light into the residences. Externally, Sur creates a striking statement at Kirra North’s entry without dominating the natural landscape. An elevated, covered lifestyle floor – featuring cascading greenery, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a pool – enhances the balance between resident privacy and public engagement. Thoughtfully designed, Sur provides both a protected retreat from the coastal climate and a seamless connection to its stunning surroundings.
