Cimarron display residence and Pelican Waters Golf Club renovation take home gold at Master Builders Association awards.
Palm Lake Works, the building team behind all Palm Lake Resort construction projects, enjoyed a double awards haul at the recent Master Builders Association Sunshine Coast awards. The two wins make it five consecutive award-winning years for the Queensland-based family-owned and operated company – and they couldn’t be prouder.
MBA judges named Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters’ “Cimarron” display residence the best in its category and the renovation of Pelican Waters Golf Club was named best Commercial Refurbishment/Renovation project. The two projects sit side-by-side in this coveted Sunshine Coast suburb.
Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters takes its style cues from the exclusive, internationally renowned holiday haven of Palm Springs and this aesthetic is obvious from the street as you approach the award-winning two-storey Cimarron display residence. Externally, Cimarron’s distinctive flat roofline is perfectly complimented by unexpected curved walls and a circular porthole feature. The story of this facade is also one of rich contrasting textures. Rendered Hebel finished in crisp, bright white paint contrasts against the warmth of the Knotwood timber-look metal cladding and its vertical lines enmasse, as well as accents of dry stacked natural stone cladding.
Beyond this majestic Cimarron’s front door, your eye is drawn up the graceful curved lines of the impressive staircase. Positioned to capitalise on the grandeur of this space, the stairwell is bathed in even more inviting natural light. This staircase might be functional, but more so it’s a sculptural masterstroke.
Both inside and out, luxurious textural finishes have dominated the decision making in this three-bedroom (plus activity room), 3.5-bathroom residence. From the sleek built-in woodgrain cabinetry to the custom terrazzo tiles that were specifically designed and manufactured for the Palm Lake Group, every surface of this residence effortlessly grabs your attention.
In fact, luxurious inclusions abound in the Cimarron. In the kitchen, you’ll find SMEG Dolce Stil Novo appliances, an integrated refrigerator and a custom-designed 5-in-1 Billi Tap with sparkling water functionality that, again, you’ll only find in Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters residences. There’s a chic internal lift that makes access between the two levels a breeze, an electric fireplace to keep things cosy in the winter and even a plunge pool for those warm Sunshine Coast days. But maybe what impacts you most about this spacious 497.6m2 abode is just that: an overwhelming sense of space. Light-filled, airy and bright, with 3m ceilings, windows offering 2700mm head-height and 2400mm internal doors, the resulting feeling is one of undeniable relaxation and ease.
Over in the Commercial Refurbishment/Renovation category, MBA judges agreed that Pelican Waters Golf Club has seen an incredible transformation from its original decades-old 1124sqm structure. The original building was completely gutted – bar the external walls and roof trusses – and extensively refitted. An impressive 1696sqm extension was added to create a luxuriously grand 2820sqm facility that now matches the prestige of the award-winning Greg Norman-designed 18-hole championship golf course that it services. Australia’s first ever Greg Norman-designed 18-hole mini golf course completes the impressive award-winning renovation.
The double awards win proves why Australia’s most savvy over-50s are choosing the exclusive and iconic Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters address as their own.
