Skyscraper Q1

Skyscraper Q1 towers over the town of Surfers Paradise in Queensland, Australia. The architects who planned to build the skyscraper were inspired by the 2000 Sydney Olympics, or rather the shape of the Olympic torch.

The Q1 skyscraper was built in 2005, it has 78 floors, and the total height of the building is 323 meters. The residential building of the skyscraper includes more than 500 apartments, a penthouse on the 74th floor with a swimming pool. The apartment of the skyscraper, bought by a Japanese for $ 9 million, has long lasted in the top of the most expensive purchases in Queensland. In addition to living spaces, there are two swimming pools, a sports hall, a spa, a dance hall and a theater stage.

The express lift takes you in 43 seconds to an altitude of 230 meters, where between 77 and 78 floors there is a Sky Point observation deck, from where you can see many areas of the state and the expanses of the Pacific Ocean. It is from here that fireworks are launched at solemn events, parachute jumps are also common here, and the attraction “Walk on the skyscraper”. There are two restaurants and a cinema. In total, the building has 10 elevators, and the skyscraper itself is supported by 26 piles, deepened into the ground by 40 meters.
