Brisbane is a city built for its climate — verandahs, cross-flow, shade and elevation — and one where character overlays and hilly, sloping blocks make thoughtful design genuinely valuable. We design bespoke homes across Brisbane that respect what makes the city's housing distinctive while delivering the way people want to live now.
Designing for Brisbane
Subtropical design here means working with the heat, not against it: orientation, ventilation, shade and outdoor living designed in from the start. Brisbane's Traditional Building Character and heritage overlays shape what can be done to and around older Queenslanders — a constraint we design to sensitively — while the city's sloping, hilly blocks reward a split-level, site-responsive approach. We work within Brisbane City Council planning and study each site's controls up front.
Our work in Brisbane
Our Brisbane work includes Aurora, a multi-residential project in the city — with our portfolio across South East Queensland continuing to grow. See more in the portfolio.
What we design here
Across Brisbane we design bespoke single homes, dual occupancy and multi-residential — character-overlay aware and climate-responsive — all managed under one roof from design through approvals to build.
Start with a complimentary site analysis.
Every Studio 72 project begins with a complimentary site analysis and design strategy session with our Design Director — no cost, no obligation. Tell us about your site and we'll show you what's possible.
