Some homes arrive on the Gold Coast market quietly. Others barely get the chance.
Rocabella, the latest beachfront duplex from powerhouse developer GRAYA, was fully sold within three days of hitting the market. Completed and positioned on prestigious Hedges Avenue in Mermaid Beach, the two residences, Roca and Bella, quickly secured their place as one of the most in-demand luxury releases on the coast this year.
This is coastal living at its most assured. Private, architectural, and meticulously detailed, Rocabella is the result of a long-standing collaboration between GRAYA, Studio Workshop Architects + Associates and design-led fixture brand ABI Interiors, each playing a distinct role in shaping its identity.
A Landmark Address on Hedges Avenue, Gold Coast
Set on a 402sqm site along Mermaid Beach’s iconic “Millionaires’ Row,” Rocabella by GRAYA delivers two sculptural semi-detached residences spanning five levels each. Designed for elevated coastal living, each home includes four bedrooms, four bathrooms and private lift access. Expansive interiors prioritise light, privacy and a natural connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
GRAYA x Studio Workshop Architects + Associates: A Considered Coastal Language
Working closely with Studio Workshop Architects + Associates, GRAYA has created a home that draws from European design influence while remaining grounded in the Queensland coastal context.
The interiors favour calm, tactile materials including natural timber, stone, brick and softly curved forms that bring a sense of ease to the architecture. Studio Workshop Architects + Associates’ influence is most evident in the home’s flow. Spaces transition effortlessly, with a quiet rhythm that feels intuitive rather than imposed. The result is a residence that feels refined but never rigid.

ABI Interiors: Quiet Detail, Lasting Impact
Across kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, alfresco areas and bar spaces, ABI Interiors plays a defining role in the overall experience of Rocabella. A long-term collaborator with GRAYA, ABI Interiors has supplied tapware and fixtures in Antique Bronze, part of the brand’s recently launched Antique Collection.
Achieved through a proprietary tumbling process combined with advanced PVD coating, the finish introduces a warm, aged character that complements the home’s natural material palette.
“We’ve worked closely with GRAYA on projects including Dune and Kloud, and Rocabella continues that evolution. Antique Bronze was the perfect choice. It brings warmth and texture that sits seamlessly within the architecture.”

Bespoke Detailing That Defines the Home
Rocabella’s sense of refinement is amplified through highly considered detailing.
Custom-engraved ABI Interiors Milani Progressive Single Mixer taps, etched with the Rocabella mark, introduce a subtle layer of identity throughout the interiors.
In the kitchen, ABI’s Imari Speckle Finger Mosaic Tile in Gloss White has been used on the curved island. This detail softens the geometry of the space and adds a sculptural quality that feels both architectural and artistic.
A New Standard for Gold Coast Luxury Coastal Living
Now complete and fully sold, Rocabella joins GRAYA’s growing portfolio of landmark coastal residences that continue to redefine luxury living on the Gold Coast.
The collaboration with Studio Workshop Architects + Associates ensures a calm, liveable interior language rooted in material integrity and spatial clarity, while ABI Interiors provides the enduring detail that gives the home its tactile richness. Together, the three brands have created a residence that reflects a new era of coastal luxury. One defined not by excess, but by intention.
Rocabella may already be spoken for, but its influence will continue to ripple through the Gold Coast’s design landscape for years to come.
