MODE Our vision is to create real value across a quadruple bottom line of Social, Environmental, Economic and Educative Metrics. MODE are designers, for people.

MODE connects client vision with design thinking to shape people-first places across Architecture, Urban design, Interior design, Graphics & Landscape architecture. We relate to our clients, their beliefs, their values, their objectives and goals. We seek always to understand their business, their motivations, and their desires. We value the application of design thinking and pr

ocesses to broader business, social and community contexts. We are design leaders, delivering locally international perspectives, which embody the sensibilities of our Partners and users, while being responsive to both environmental, technical and social change and cultural wellbeing and health. We understand the complexity of the modern world and our societies and the need to partner to deliver the exceptional. We are passionate about design within our community and our business because it plays a vital part in our everyday lives; from the cultural buildings we enjoy visiting, to residential and commercial precincts where we live and work, to the places where our children learn and play, to places which heal, to the vital infrastructure that make our cities function, to the most secure law & order facilities in the world.

We are pleased to see Development Approval granted for Florian, a luxury residential tower located on Monaco Street, Surfers Paradise, positioned along the Nerang River with expansive views across the waterways, city skyline and hinterland.

Designed by MODE, with the planning process led by Bennett + Bennett, the project reflects a collaborative approach to shaping a refined residential outcome within a complex coastal context.

The development comprises a 27-level residential tower, including three basement levels, 25 residential levels and a rooftop recreation terrace, delivering 47 residences in total. This includes 44 three-bedroom apartments and 3 exclusive four-bedroom penthouses.
Residential levels are planned as two residences per floor, maximising privacy, natural light and expansive coastal outlooks, with generous balconies extending living spaces toward the surrounding landscape. Upper-level penthouses offer larger-scale living with additional multipurpose spaces and extensive outdoor terraces.

At rooftop level, a resort-style amenity space includes a pool and spa, sun deck, barbecue areas, event lawn and subtropical landscaping, creating an elevated communal environment with panoramic coastal and hinterland views.

The tower is defined by a sculptural form expressed through a soft material palette, light-toned finishes and fluid, coastal-inspired geometry. Layered subtropical landscaping across podium and faรงade elements reinforces the projectโ€™s connection to place.

Developed through MODEโ€™s CONNECTED BY DESIGN philosophy, Florian brings architecture, interiors and landscape architecture together as a coordinated response, shaping a cohesive residential experience from arrival to rooftop.

Great to see ground officially broken on Nightingale Specialist Suites, marking the start of delivery for a key new development within the growing Health City Springfield precinct.

Nightingale Specialist Suites brings together master planning, architecture and interior design by MODE as part of the precinctโ€™s first stage of development, structured around a landscaped pedestrian spine opposite Mater Private Hospital Springfield.

The building delivers a contemporary medical environment with basement car parking and a prominent upper-ground entry, defined by a corner lantern and awning that establishes a clear arrival point within the precinct.

Upper levels accommodate GP and medical imaging suites, with four additional levels providing 40 specialist medical tenancies. A compact circulation core and efficient planning approach maximise net lettable area, supporting long-term flexibility and use.

Responding to a six-metre site fall, the design integrates stepped terraces, seating and landscape planting to activate the public interface and strengthen pedestrian connectivity. A sloped basement enables direct access to the upper-ground lobby, while an integrated bus stop supports broader accessibility across the site.

At ground level, an activated lobby with an integrated cafรฉ creates a welcoming and functional arrival experience for visitors and tenants.

Guided by MODEโ€™s CONNECTED BY DESIGN philosophy, the project integrates architecture, landscape and public realm considerations to support both clinical performance and everyday urban life, setting a benchmark for future stages of the precinct.

Delivered in collaboration with Woollam.

Great to see Stage 2 of the Beenleigh Aquatic Centre redevelopment come together, completing the transformation of the site into a contemporary aquatic and recreation precinct.

Delivered as part of the SEQ City Deal, the project extends beyond a traditional aquatic facility, creating a connected destination for health, recreation, and everyday community use.

At the centre of the redevelopment is a new Olympic-sized outdoor pool, supported by upgraded amenities and a reconfigured public realm. A clear pedestrian network links the site into its broader context, while landscape and planting respond to the subtropical climate, improving comfort and usability throughout the precinct.
The project also achieves a 5 Star Green Star rating, with integrated sustainability strategies including solar energy, water harvesting, and passive design approaches that support long-term performance.

What makes this project particularly rewarding is how architecture, landscape architecture and wayfinding have been developed together from the outset. This integrated approach reflects our CONNECTED By Design philosophy in action, strengthening how the space is experienced and reinforcing connection across the site and within the community.

Great work by the team and all collaborators involved.

Exciting to see works progressing on site at the Kwinana Civic Administration Building, with the refurbishment now taking shape.

Kwinana is often recognised for its industrial character, but it is also a place where thoughtful civic investment is reshaping how the community engages with its built environment. The refurbishment of the City of Kwinana Civic Administration Building reflects this shift, marking the first major upgrade since the buildingโ€™s original construction in 1970.

MODE is delivering the interior design, reimagining key spaces including the Council Chambers, Function Room and workplace environments to support contemporary use and improved community interface.

Existing architectural elements, including generous raked ceilings and exposed timber rafters, are retained and expressed as part of the design approach. These features provide continuity with the buildingโ€™s history while establishing a warm and grounded setting for its next phase of use.

A new chapter for Guildford, with the redevelopment of the Aquatic Centre delivering a contemporary facility designed for long-term community use.

The project brings together a mix of indoor and outdoor aquatic spaces, including learn-to-swim and lap pools, an outdoor pool and a childrenโ€™s splash play area, supported by amenities and flexible community spaces.

Set within a residential context, the design balances a clear civic presence with a low-scale built form that sits comfortably within its surroundings. Sustainability is a key focus, with rooftop solar panels contributing to reduced energy use and operational efficiency.

Looking forward to seeing this important community facility take shape.

The Blue Gum Community Centre has officially reopened following a comprehensive refurbishment program of more than 12 months.

Originally built in 1984, the centre has long served as an important local destination. With growing demand for school, recreation, and extracurricular programs, the project focused on creating a more flexible, accessible, and future-ready facility that can continue to support the evolving needs of the community.

MODE was engaged to provide Architectural and Lead Consultancy services across design and construction, including architecture, interior design, and contract superintendency. Working within the existing footprint, the redevelopment carefully reconfigured internal spaces, upgraded amenities to current compliance standards, and introduced refreshed finishes, wayfinding, and signage to create a clear and contemporary user experience.

A new centralised reception lobby improves circulation and provides intuitive access to a range of adaptable activity spaces, allowing the centre to better accommodate diverse community programs.

Delivered in close collaboration with the City of Melville and stakeholders, and led by Carl Ko, this project is a strong example of our CONNECTED By Design philosophy in action, bringing together disciplines, partnerships, and shared thinking to create places that deliver lasting value.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this important community asset back to life.

It has been a genuine collaboration, and weโ€™re proud to have worked alongside Chow Hill, Robert Bird Group, AECOM, Webb, and RGC Consulting in bringing this project forward. Delivered for our client CPB Contractors, the project brought together MODEโ€™s integrated team across Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, and Graphic Design and wayfinding.

MODE is delivering the interior design for ReDefined Takapuna, an integrated wellbeing hub bringing together movement, recovery and health services within a single environment.

The project is organised around a clear spatial transition, from high-energy training areas to quieter, restorative spaces, allowing a range of programmes to operate cohesively. This approach supports an intuitive user journey while balancing performance, recovery and everyday use.

Material selection draws on the landscapes of Aotearoa, with natural textures and warm tones creating a consistent and grounded interior environment. Access to natural light, fresh air and outdoor areas is prioritised throughout, strengthening the connection between interior spaces and their coastal setting.

ReDefined reflects a more connected approach to wellbeing design, where spatial planning, materiality and user experience are aligned to support long-term health and community use.
