Design for Bespoke New Homes in Brisbane, QLD & Northern NSW

Designing a new home is a chance to create something deeply personal, something shaped around the way you live and the climate you live in. At Project Habitation, we specialise in bespoke, subtropical homes that feel calm, timeless, and connected to place.

Our approach is thoughtful and collaborative. Every home is designed from the ground up, responding to light, breezes, lifestyle, and your vision for how you want life to unfold inside it.

A Boutique Design Studio for One-of-a-Kind Homes

We focus on quality over volume. You will not find generic layouts or a production line process here. Clients come to us because they want:

• A tailored design, not a template

• A home that feels both refined and relaxed

• A design that maximises their site

• A studio that listens, guides, and designs with careful intent

• A home that genuinely suits a subtropical climate

Our work balances beauty, functionality, and comfort. The end result is a home that feels effortless to live in

Subtropical, Climate Responsive Design

Your home should work with the climate, not against it. We design with:

• Northern aspect

• Prevailing breezes

• Shading and overhangs

• Deep outdoor edges that act as living spaces

• Thermal comfort, inside and out

This creates a home that stays comfortable naturally, reduces energy demands, and feels good at every time of day.

A Clear and Considered Design Process

Building a new home becomes far less overwhelming when the process is structured and transparent. Our stages guide you from the first ideas through to construction documentation, with clarity at every step. You can expect:

• Careful exploration of layouts and site opportunities

• 3D modelling so you can clearly visualise the design

• Development of materials and interiors

• Detailed drawings for builder pricing and approvals

• Guidance during approvals and tendering processes

Homes Designed for Real Life

We think about how your home will feel and function over the years ahead. This includes:

• Flow and movement

• Zones for living, retreat, and connection

• Storage and practicality

• Privacy where needed, openness where it matters

• Family flexibility and long term adaptability

• A well designed home should feel calm, intuitive, and supportive of daily life.
