Kinkabool, Heritage residential building in Surfers Paradise, Australia
Located at 32-34 Hanlan Street, Kinkabool stands as a ten-story residential building constructed with reinforced concrete in a modernist architectural style.
Built between 1959 and 1960, Kinkabool marked a turning point as the first high-rise apartment building on the Gold Coast, signaling the start of vertical development.
The building name draws from Aboriginal language, translating to 'laughing water' and represents an early connection between modern architecture and indigenous heritage.
Each apartment features north-facing sun decks, built-in wardrobes, private laundries with washing machines, and kitchens equipped with modern appliances from the 1960s.
The building maintains its maple features in stairways and foyer, displaying architectural elements typical of 1960s apartment blocks including terrazzo floors and mosaic tiles.
