Set directly on the shoreline, The Beachfront is a landmark coastal development that blends modern architecture with materials designed to perform in demanding oceanfront environments.
Designed by OGE Architects and constructed by Tomkins Commercial, the project showcases extensive use of Knotwood aluminum systems throughout the building. From exterior cladding and soffits to screening and architectural detailing, Knotwood products are integrated across multiple applications to deliver a cohesive wood aesthetic with the durability of aluminum.
For coastal developments, material performance is critical. Unlike traditional timber, aluminum will not warp, crack, or deteriorate in salt-laden air. Knotwood’s aluminum systems provide the warm appearance of wood while offering exceptional resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and the harsh conditions common to oceanfront construction. This makes it an ideal specification for commercial and multi-residential projects in marine environments.
The development itself includes 73 premium residences ranging from apartments to penthouses and freestanding beach homes. Expansive glazing, generous balconies, and carefully selected finishes create a refined coastal environment designed to maximize uninterrupted ocean views.
For architects and developers, The Beachfront demonstrates how aluminum architectural systems can deliver both long-term durability and design flexibility. By using Knotwood extensively across the building envelope and architectural features, the project achieves a unified design language while ensuring reliable performance in one of the most demanding construction environments.
Oceanfront architecture demands materials built to last. At The Beachfront, extensive use of Knotwood aluminum systems delivers the warmth of wood with the durability required for coastal environments.
Used across multiple applications throughout the building, from cladding to architectural detailing, Knotwood provides a cohesive aesthetic while resisting salt air, UV exposure, and moisture. The result is a high-performance solution ideal for commercial and multi-residential developments near the ocean.
