Custom home design in Brisbane

Looking for a custom home builder? We design your home and bring in a trusted builder partner in Brisbane from day one — so design, approvals and construction are planned together by one coordinated team, from first sketch to handover.

How it works

Our process takes you from an empty block to a finished home in three clear steps.

  1. Complimentary site analysis

    We study your block's potential in Scout, our own analysis platform, talk through your brief and budget, and show you what's possible. No cost, no obligation.

  2. Design and approvals

    Our Design Director designs your home with you — unlimited revisions, within reason — alongside an early, aligned build estimate. We then coordinate the planning approvals with Brisbane City Council through to consent.

  3. Build with our partner builder

    We bring in a trusted builder partner in Brisbane early, prepare the tender and construction documentation, and stay involved through the build. You sign your building contract directly with the builder; we remain your design lead to handover.

Studio 72 is a custom home designer, not a builder. Construction is delivered by our independent partner builders — so you get one coordinated team from concept to completion, with the design protected all the way through.

“It was a pleasure working with Richard, he is very creative and understood our vision straight away. We found he was able to design what we imagined and provided critical design improvements and suggestions along the way. We have been extremely happy with the design, not a complaint with the layout since living in our dream house for over 2 years.”

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.

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.
