The Veronicas’ Jessica Origliasso, along with her fiancé, Alex Smith, has revealed the stunning beachfront apartment they are renovating on the Gold Coast. Origliasso purchased the double-storey apartment in May, shortly after their engagement, and the $1.73 million deal was quickly sealed. The couple enlisted the help of buyers’ agent Jake Edwards, who facilitated the purchase after an extensive search online.
The renovation of their new home will be documented in an online series called Celebrity Renovations hosted by Jake Edwards. The couple plans to split their time between their Palm Beach apartment and Smith’s condo in Los Angeles. Origliasso, who was born in Brisbane, spoke about the appeal of the beach lifestyle, considering their hectic work schedules. The couple is looking forward to slowing down and settling into their new home, saying it’s the lifestyle they’ve been missing.
The apartment’s renovation will reflect their eclectic tastes and inspirations from their travels around the world. The renovation plans include replacing terracotta floor tiles with timber, updating the kitchen with an island bench, and revamping the bathrooms. They also plan to transform an under-stair nook into a cocktail bar. The top floor will be dedicated to a lavish master suite, complete with a walk-in robe fitted with LED lighting to showcase Smith’s sneaker collection. The overall design will feature a neutral palette, natural textures, and Parisian-inspired green tiling.
The completion of the renovation is scheduled for December, coinciding with the twins’ birthday celebration hosted at their Gold Coast property. The Veronicas, who recently signed with US label Big Noise, will also release a new single in October.
