In the heart of the Whitsundays, a bold new vision for tropical living is rising above it all — literally. Airlie Summit, the elevated community by Alder, is setting a new benchmark in architecturally led, climate-responsive design with the Luxe Design Collection.
Crafted by some of Queensland’s most experienced residential designers, the Luxe Design Collection is tailored exclusively to the elevated lots at Airlie Summit, each design harnessing the site’s natural advantages — elevation, orientation, and those jaw-dropping views.
Where Nature and Design Work in Harmony
Perched 200 metres above sea level, Airlie Summit offers unparalleled outlooks over Coral Sea Marina, Port of Airlie, Pioneer Bay, and the surrounding Whitsundays. The Luxe Design Collection embraces this landscape, delivering homes that work with the contours of the land rather than against them — homes that feel anchored to their environment.
Design partner Beau Valentine-Greer of Valentine Building Design describes the result as the “ultimate place of retreat,” where architecture sits softly on the site, framing the horizon rather than competing with it. Fellow designer Steve Rhodes of Considered Colab Design Studio agrees, emphasising that these homes are “timelessly stylish, environmentally responsive and tailored for tropical climates.”
From seamless indoor–outdoor transitions to cross-ventilation, abundant natural light and passive cooling, every element is conceived to suit the tropics — not just aesthetically, but functionally.
Design Freedom Meets Expert Vision
According to Frank Galvin, Alder’s General Manager of Development, the Luxe Design Collection gives buyers an inspiring foundation without compromising individuality.
“These designs work with the unique lot specifications at Airlie Summit — maximising the natural slope, aspect and views while ensuring privacy and individuality,” Galvin said. “It’s a starting point that allows buyers to work with their chosen designer to refine the concept and create something truly their own.”
Buyers who secure a homesite gain exclusive access to the Luxe Design Collection. Buyers work with the partner designers direct to customise for lot selection and buyers needs. A full design package and fee proposal is provided by the designer, giving a clear path from land purchase to home design — an invaluable head start for future homeowners.
The Panorama Release is Rising
Airlie Summit is the final approved elevated masterplanned community in Airlie Beach. The launched Panorama Release includes just 13 prime water view lots, each ranging from 616sqm to 898sqm and starting from $495,000. These lots are among the most desirable in the Whitsundays, thanks to their stunning vantage points and seamless integration into the natural landscape.
