Awarded the 2026 HIA Australian Home of the Year, Cloudbreak is an exceptional coastal residence perched on one of the Gold Coast’s most exposed sites.

​

Located in the beachside suburb of Miami, the home transforms a challenging cliff-edge position into a finely considered vertical residence. Designed by renowned Gold Coast architect Jason Pate and built by MacTech Constructions, Cloudbreak represents an outstanding example of contemporary coastal architecture and construction.

​

Sync Systems delivered the home’s integrated technology, bringing lighting, audio, automation, security and access control together into one intuitive system.

​

Clipsal C-Bus automation provides effortless control of lighting, blinds and ceiling fans, while DALI and DNX lighting allow the home’s lighting environments to be carefully tailored throughout the day. Sonos Multi-Room Audio delivers high-quality sound across the property.

​

At the heart of the system is Savant, bringing the home’s technology together through one refined, user-friendly interface. Advanced voice control adds another layer of simplicity, allowing key functions throughout the home to be managed naturally and intuitively.

Integrated security and access control complete the system, providing sophisticated protection without compromising the architecture or design of the home.

​

Cloudbreak is a strong example of what can be achieved when architecture, construction and technology are considered as one — creating a home that is sophisticated, intuitive and effortless to live in.
