Cornerstone Company

Southern Gold Coast, Queensland

Cornerstone Company has built two buildings on the southern Gold Coast, both concerned with where the light falls and what happens underneath it. It has taken years between them, which is entirely on purpose.

Project 01

The Warehouses

The Warehouses turned an industrial site in Currumbin Waters into a work and hospitality hub, 2,200 square metres of it, completed in 2023. Meet. Work. Create. Community.
