International design team shaping the proposed Airlie Beach Yacht Club
Peddle Thorp Architecture & Design and international interior designer Hernán Arriaga are developing a Club architecture centred on the Whitsunday waterfront.

The proposed Airlie Beach Yacht Club is being designed by Peddle Thorp Architecture & Design Pty Ltd.
Peter Dworjanyn, Principal Architect Director, provides Architectural Direction. Alejandro Romano, Principal Design, Planning & Marketing Director, provides Design and Planning Direction. Michael Rahill, Principal Architect Director, leads the Project Architecture. Kevin Cronin, Principal Landscape Architect Director, directs the Landscape Architecture. Internationally recognised Las Vegas-based designer Hernan Arriaga leads the Interior Design.
The design is organised around tropical shade, sheltered arrival, framed views and a clear progression between member, dining, recreation and event spaces. Architecture, landscape and interiors are being developed together so the Club reads as one complete waterfront experience rather than a collection of unrelated venues.
Current images are artist impressions. The final outcome remains subject to statutory approvals, detailed design and procurement.
