The Ridge at Maleny
The Ridge at Maleny is a premium retreat nestled in the stunning Sunshine Coast hinterland, designed to offer guests a luxurious escape. Positioned on 300 acres of serene wilderness, the development comprises modern, thoughtfully designed villas that prioritise comfort, relaxation, and connection to the natural surroundings. Most villas feature highlights like a fireplace with integrated firewood storage and a freestanding bath offering spectacular mountainous views.
The developers' vision was to create a modern architectural style of accommodation that met all guest needs for holidays and weekend getaways, ensuring luxury and comfort. The steep slope of the site posed engineering challenges, requiring innovative design solutions. Additionally, achieving the brief's goal of incorporating panoramic views into every room, while integrating spa-like features, demanded precise planning and execution.
Saltair rose to the challenge with advanced modular construction techniques, enabling minimal disruption to the environment while meeting the site’s engineering needs. The designs ensured that each villa maximised its positioning, with expansive views from most rooms and baths. The addition of fireplaces in many villas provided a cozy, luxurious feature, while spa-like bathrooms with freestanding tubs offered spaces for guests to relax and rejuvenate. The Ridge at Maleny stands as a prime example of how modular design can meet complex challenges while delivering luxury and sustainability.
