With a northerly aspect overlooking serene Lake Orr, a residential apartment development in Varsity Lakes, Queensland, is setting a new standard in waterside living. Set over seven levels, the two and three bedroom apartments of “South Lakes at Varsity” all feature inviting balconies to capitalise on the location, accessed through Alspec’s Altitude Apartment Sliding Doors.

With their ability to span wide openings and their exceptional weather performance credentials, the Altitude doors allow for easy access and the effortless integration of indoor-outdoor living areas. From a practical perspective, the doors accept a wide range of glass widths and single or double glazed panels, while their concealed drainage slots assist with all-weather performance. For the complex’s common areas and access to the resort facilities, the Swan Evo 45mm Single Glazed Commercial Doors were selected. Specifically designed for high use applications in the commercial environment, the Swan Evo doors are also useful in residential builds as they can be easily adapted to be used in hinged, pivoted or sliding applications as required. They feature centre pocket glazing which provides both security and aesthetic attributes due to the lack of vertical glazing beads.

Both the Altitude and Swan Evo doors integrate seamlessly with the Alspec window framing solutions selected for the development’s other glazing needs. These included the Alspec 50 mm Awning Window, the McArthur Evo 101.6 mm Centre Pocket Window and the View-Max Sliding Window. All three systems deliver in terms of weather, thermal and acoustic properties and feature the high performance specifications which are synonymous with the Alspec brand.

In the growing suburb of Varsity Lakes, this landmark resort-style development is well equipped to provide its new residents with the very best in waterfront living from its desirable lakefront positon.
