The Bluewater Bar & Grill is at the centre of a new marina-based residential precinct in the north Cairns suburb of Trinity Park. The building incorporates a restaurant with a spacious deck overlooking the marina, as well as a bottle shop, deli and admin area. Providing the photography for the architects, Coburn Architecture, we looked to highlight the strong angular forms of the building, along with its clever use of natural materials to create space, natural lighting and to showcase its waterfront views.
