Freeform: A Sculptural Waterfront Sanctuary in Mermaid Waters
Some homes impress through their scale. Others leave a lasting impression through the way they make you feel. At 31 McIlwain Drive, Mermaid Waters, “Freeform” brings both qualities together, pairing sculptural architecture with spaces designed for connection, recreation and quiet retreat.
Designed by Jayson Pate and built by W Build, this extraordinary Gold Coast waterfront home occupies a 939m² north-facing point position with 47 metres of waterfrontage. Across four carefully considered levels, its flowing forms, natural materials and bespoke finishes create a distinctive expression of contemporary coastal luxury.
Presented by Amir Prestige, Freeform offers a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a luxury home in Mermaid Waters with exceptional family accommodation and private leisure facilities.
Architecture with Warmth and Character
Freeform’s softly curved façade introduces an architectural language that continues throughout the residence. Limewashed walls, engineered oak herringbone flooring and walnut detailing bring texture and warmth, while generous glazing draws natural light into the interiors.
Bespoke joinery and sculptural Soktas lighting add depth to the design. Rather than relying on a single statement feature, the home’s character unfolds through its materials, proportions and carefully crafted details.
The kitchen exemplifies this approach. A striking Monreale marble island anchors the space, complemented by porcelain surfaces, timber veneer cabinetry and upholstered bench seating. A butler’s pantry, Wolf induction cooktop, twin Wolf pyrolytic ovens and integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration support everything from everyday family meals to larger gatherings.
Five Ensuite Bedrooms and Space to Retreat
Five bedrooms, each with a private ensuite, provide generous accommodation for family and guests. A ground-floor guest suite offers privacy, while the third level brings together four ensuite bedrooms, a dedicated living area and two studies.
Overlooking the water to the north, the master retreat combines battened walls and ceiling with a beautifully appointed walk-in robe. Its ensuite features a Santo Gold marble vanity, limestone and microcement finishes, bronze fittings, a freestanding Pietra Bianca stone bath and twin showers.
Individually selected stone and tile finishes give each additional ensuite its own character, extending the home’s attention to detail into its most private spaces.
A Private World of Wellness and Recreation
The basement gives Freeform a particularly distinctive dimension, bringing fitness, recovery and entertainment into daily life.
A private gym and recovery room incorporates a sauna, ice bath, fluted glass shower and refrigerated kitchenette. Limestone, cork flooring and walnut ceiling finishes create a warm setting for exercise and restoration.
A dedicated media room provides a cinematic retreat, while a golf simulator and adjoining marble bar introduce another way to unwind. Olive-green walls and walnut panelling lend these spaces a rich, inviting atmosphere.
The rumpus and billiards area further expands the entertaining possibilities, featuring a Mazzanti marble bar, antique bronze mirror and Vintec wine and beverage fridges.
Waterfront Days and Rooftop Evenings
Outdoors, the north-facing lap pool and alfresco entertaining area make the waterfront setting central to life at home. Limestone finishes, an in situ concrete bench and a brick breezeway provide an elegant backdrop, with a built-in barbecue and pizza oven ready for relaxed meals with family and friends.
On the fourth floor, a further living area opens to a north-facing balcony with skyline views towards Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise. The rooftop bar and deck, complete with marble and porcelain surfaces, a gloss zellige splashback, bar fridges, dishwasher and dedicated powder room, create an elevated setting for entertaining as daylight gives way to city lights.

Freeform places this private lifestyle within easy reach of the beaches, cafés and restaurants of Nobby Beach, Mermaid Beach and Burleigh, alongside Broadbeach’s dining, shopping and entertainment precincts.
