With 40 metres of ocean frontage across two rare blocks on the prized North Burleigh shoreline, Burly Residences by DD Living offers a calibre of beachfront living few will ever experience.

Designed by internationally renowned and award-winning architect Koichi Takada, whose work can be found in Shanghai, Los Angeles, Qatar, Italy, and our very own Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, this project doesn’t just occupy a coveted location, it enhances it, bringing a new architectural icon to life.

A statement of design, rare by location

Positioned at 264-268 The Esplanade, North Burleigh, Burly Residences is defined by its sculptural form and symbiotic relationship with its oceanfront setting. 

Koichi Takada's vision to capture the energy of the surrounding oceanside landscape is realised in the building’s fluid and expansive form, in tune with the site’s natural beauty. The north-eastern aspect enhances the connection to place, inviting morning light deep into each home while some apartments offer sweeping views over the Gold Coast’s most recognisable beach.

The building’s most striking feature is its expressive two-storey ‘Burly Barrel’ entry, rising like a cresting wave, immediately establishing the development’s presence as a landmark. From this gateway, the organic curves of the structure unfold across 101 residences, each oriented to maximise light, views, and coastal flow.

Elegant, beachfront homes

Inside, the residences further echo the coastal setting. Entertainer kitchens form the heart of each home, finished in warm timbers and natural stone, referencing wet sand, weathered rock, and soft coastal light. 

Curves continue throughout the interiors, flowing through open-plan living zones to generous terraces that frame the shoreline. Each residence is crafted to feel as if it floats above the beach. This is your private haven to pause, entertain, and live in sync with the ocean.

The bedrooms, living areas, and bathrooms are designed with scale and comfort in mind. Floor-to-ceiling glazing ensures views are maximised, while layered textures and natural finishes bring the feeling of nature indoors. 

With interiors by MIM Design, these custom-crafted residences are some of the finest of their kind, achieving a balance between grand luxury and elegant restraint.

Six-Star living across two levels

Burly’s amenity offering is as impressive as its architecture. Residents enjoy exclusive access to two full levels of six-star lifestyle and wellness spaces, collectively known as Club Burly. 

A grand double-height stair and voluminous lounges connect the two amenity levels, including a state-of-the-art gym, yoga and Pilates studio, Peloton room, pool deck with day beds, sauna & steam room, teppanyaki grill, residents’ wine bar, private dining rooms, cinema, and a concierge-serviced lobby.

These spaces bring luxe hotel-style living to your front door. So, whether it’s starting the day with a sunrise swim, hosting friends in the wine lounge, or taking a moment in the rainforest-inspired gardens, life at Burly is stunning at every level, at every occasion.
