Introducing the Luxe Design Collection: Tropical Homes Crafted for the Summit
Imagine waking up to endless ocean views, with the Whitsundays stretching out before you. At Airlie Summit, this dream is now within reach – and it’s about to get even more exciting.
Alder has launched the Luxe Design Collection; an exclusive range of home concepts created specifically for the elevated lots at Airlie Summit. These designs have been thoughtfully crafted to celebrate tropical living while maximising the incredible panoramas unique to this hillside location.
Designs that Work With the Land, Not Against It
Positioned 200 metres above sea level, Airlie Summit’s premium homesites overlook Coral Sea Marina, Port of Airlie Marina, and the turquoise waters of Pioneer Bay. Rather than reshaping this natural landscape, the Luxe Design Collection embraces it.
“We’ve purposely designed homes that follow the slope of the hillside,” explains Alder’s General Manager of Development, Frank Galvin. “This approach ensures every home enjoys the best views, privacy, and a strong connection to the surroundings. It’s about creating spaces that feel part of the landscape, not just placed on it.”
Expertly Crafted for Tropical Living
Developed in collaboration with leading designers, the Luxe Design Collection draws on deep knowledge of Northern Queensland’s climate and lifestyle. These concept designs prioritise airflow, natural ventilation, and seamless indoor-outdoor living – essential features for a comfortable and sustainable home in the tropics. Large open-plan living areas extend effortlessly to shaded outdoor terraces, perfect for entertaining or relaxing while soaking in the stunning surroundings.
Framed by nature, every design has been expertly crafted to maximise the sweeping Whitsunday views, ensuring the outlook is always the hero – whether enjoyed from a kitchen bench, living room, or alfresco deck.
Design partner Beau Valentine-Greer describes the collection as “the ultimate retreat, where each home is perched softly on the land while framing the horizon rather than competing with it.”
Similarly, Steve Rhodes from Considered Collab Design Studio highlights the importance of designing for the environment:
“These homes harness natural light, promote cross-ventilation, and blend timeless style with environmental sensitivity, resulting in spaces that are as comfortable as they are beautiful.”
A Collaborative Design Journey Tailored to Your Vision
The Luxe Design Collection provides a conceptual representation of what is possible at Airlie Summit complete with indicative price ranges to complete build. Purchasers can work with designers to refine and customise. Rather than starting from scratch, buyers can begin with a home concept that already works harmoniously with Airlie Summit — saving time, reducing complexity, and ensuring every design takes full advantage of the site’s natural assets.
Importantly, the collection offers affordable access to some of the region’s leading tropical designers – professionals who understand how to design for both hillside terrain and coastal lifestyle.
Once a preferred design is selected, buyers work directly with the concept’s designer to tailor every detail allowing for adjustments to layouts, finishes, and features, ensuring the final home aligns perfectly with the owner’s lifestyle, vision and lot.
After refining the design, the chosen designer provides a comprehensive design package along with a detailed fee proposal. This transparent process gives buyers complete clarity over the scope of work and costs, streamlining the journey from concept to construction.
A Lifestyle Beyond Compare
Beyond the home, Airlie Summit residents benefit from direct access to world-class boating, proximity to Airlie Beach’s vibrant town centre, and the tranquil beauty of Conway National Park. It’s the perfect balance of natural splendour and modern convenience. As one of the last major subdivisions in this thriving coastal town, opportunities to secure land here are limited.
