Home Renovation Design Services in South-East Qld & Northern NSW

A renovation or extension is an opportunity to completely reshape the way your home feels and functions. Whether you need more space, better flow, stronger outdoor connection, or a layout that finally makes sense, thoughtful design can transform daily life.

Project Habitation designs bespoke home renovations, extensions, and alterations and additions across Brisbane and Northern NSW. We focus on creating calm, refined, climate responsive homes that feel effortless and deeply considered.

Thoughtful Transformations for Existing Homes

Every home has potential. Our role is to understand how you live now, what is not working, and how your home can support you better.

Clients come to us when they want:

• More functional and intuitive layouts

• Better natural light and passive ventilation

• Indoor and outdoor flow that suits subtropical living

• Contemporary upgrades that respect character

• Smarter use of the existing footprint

• A design that lifts comfort, value, and overall liveability

Whether it is a renovation, extension, or an alterations and additions approval, we design to bring both clarity and calm to your home.

Extensions that Feel Seamless and Intentional

An extension should feel like it has always belonged. This means carefully considering:

• Sightlines and circulation

• Volumes and proportions

• How light moves through the day

• Material continuity and transitions

• Roof forms, thresholds, and outdoor edges

• How new spaces connect to the existing structure

Our goal is to create spaces that are generous, intuitive, and cohesive.

Climate Responsive Approach to Renovation

Good renovation design starts with climate. Every project considers:

• Northern orientation

• Cross ventilation and passive cooling

• Shading and solar control

• Seasonal comfort

• Materials suited to a subtropical environment

The result is a home that is brighter, quieter, more efficient, and far more comfortable to live in.

A Clear Process from Concept to Construction Drawings

Renovations and extensions involve many moving parts, especially when approvals for alterations and additions are required. Our structured process gives you clarity from the first meeting to construction documentation. Our stages include:

• Detailed analysis of the existing home and site

• Concept designs with multiple options where beneficial

• 3D modelling to help you clearly visualise the design

• Design development of materials, layout, and detailing

• Coordination with town planners, engineers, and consultants

• Comprehensive documentation for builder pricing and approvals

Renovations Designed for Real Life

Our design philosophy is centred on creating homes that feel calm, intuitive, and supportive of daily life. We consider:

• Flow and movement

• Light and privacy

• Functional zoning for living, retreat, and family spaces

• Storage and practicality

• Indoor and outdoor connections

• Long term adaptability for growing families

A well designed renovation should feel effortless every day.
