Overview
The Gold Coast might be known for its sandy beaches, sizeable array of shopping strips and more than a couple of theme parks, but beyond all that lurks plenty of interesting and architecturally significant buildings. Luxe houses, sky-high residential buildings, cute seaside chapels, a towering art gallery — the list goes on.
It's a side of the Goldie that many never ponder, and it's on display for two days across Saturday, October 7–Sunday, October 9. That's when Open House hits the sunny tourist spot for 2023, and welcomes in anyone who'd like to take a sticky beak.
Public buildings, sites and structures opening their doors include HOTA, Home of the Arts, plus the Broadbeach Cultural Precinct, Gold Coast Airport Southern Terminal expansion, Southport Town Hall and Gold Coast Hinterland Heritage Museum.
Fancy peering inside homes and apartments? That's where Kingfisher House, the canal-front PALA and Cypreś all come in.
Remember your childhood dreams of getting to run rampant in a department store after hours? Or your grown-up version, involving IKEA? Think of this as a more realistic version. And, it's also a way to satisfy your architectural and design curiosity.
The 2023 lineup also includes talks on Surfers Paradise's 60s and 70s apartment towers, small living and housing affordability, and a Varsity Lakes walking tour.
