The Jewel Gold Coast

The Jewel Broadbeach, is a Billion Dollar tri-tower Beachfront development for Chinese development investment funds, under a number of entities.

Warren Coyle was soon to retire as the major director of DBI and was the supporting partner of Vaughn’s Kuala Lumpur affiliated office. Due to DBI’s recognition for signature projects, under the design direction of Barry Lee and Vaughn led Conceptual to Design Development process, on many of the key projects. Large companies such as Wanda group continue to approach DBI, for the large complex signature projects, based on the Gold Coast.

Once the project was under way, the DBI architectural project team were previously struggling, as it is not recognised or understood, that the large complex projects were previously handled under Vaughn and mostly documented in the affiliated Kuala Lumpur office. Mostly to compete with international practices.

Noting, while the facade was based on an American architect’s concept, the hand drawn Jewel masterplan, three tower orientation / size by Vaughn under Barry Lee direction, was completed almost 8 years prior.
