Surfers Paradise, found in Australia’s Gold Coast, is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Australia. It is also one of the places where many high-rise buildings and apartments are mainly being used for residential purposes. These tall skyscrapers tower over the area surrounded by a wide, beautiful surfer’s beach. One of the buildings in Surfers Paradise that never fail to catch people’s eyes is the Q1 building. The Q1 or Queensland Number 1 became operational starting 2005 and is the 3rd tallest building used for residential purposes on earth. Q1 is also Australia’s tallest building. Q1 has the height of 322.5 m or 1,058 ft, with 275 m or 902 ft for roof height. The exterior of the building was inspired by the Sydney Opera House and the Olympic torch used in Sydney back in 2000. The Sunland Group, a development company that is based in Surfers Paradise, conceptualized and developed Q1. Sunland’s construction division also built the building.
Q1 residence and guests can choose 80 floors of one, two or three bedroom apartments and have full access to their resort facility. The building’s facilities include swimming pools and lap pool, two lagoons, small theatre, gymnasium, spa centre, and a ballroom. One of the highlights of the building is its beach observation deck on the 77 and 78 level called SkyPoint. The observation deck gives you a 360-degree view of Byron Bay and Brisbane.

The interior design of the building, like its exterior, has an urban style. All of the rooms in the building are finished with a sophisticated and chic style. Everything from the furniture to the carpet and the colors are well chosen to match the buildings modern design. The rooms are cozy and relaxing with carpet on the floor and big windows on the walls showing the view of the beach. The floor of the lobby, ballroom and theater has carpet, wood and marble. The building looks wonderful at night because of the lighting fixtures used. All in all, Q1 is a modern building for people looking to live in a relaxed and fun environment.
