Custom home design on the Gold Coast

Looking for a custom home builder? We design your home and bring in a trusted builder partner on the Gold Coast 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 City of Gold Coast through to consent.

  3. Build with our partner builder

    We bring in a trusted builder partner on the Gold Coast 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.”

The southern Gold Coast — Palm Beach, Burleigh and the beaches around them — is one of the most sought-after places in the country to build, and one where great design genuinely lifts value. We design bespoke homes and dual occupancy across the coast that make the most of the climate, the light and the beachside lifestyle.

Designing for the Gold Coast

Subtropical, beachside design means designing for indoor-outdoor living, north light, breeze and shade — homes that open up and breathe. The southern Gold Coast also has strong demand for well-designed dual occupancy, where a considered duplex can deliver two beautiful homes on one sought-after block. We work within City of Gold Coast planning and study each site's controls and constraints before design begins.

Our work in the Gold Coast

Our Gold Coast work includes Palm Beach House, the Elenora dual occupancy in Palm Beach, and Warrina in Burleigh — bespoke homes and duplexes designed for their coastal sites. See more in the portfolio.

We do — dual occupancy is a core part of our Gold Coast work, and a well-designed duplex can make the most of a sought-after coastal block.

Do you work with City of Gold Coast planning?

Yes. We study each site's City of Gold Coast controls, overlays and constraints up front so the design responds to what the block allows.
