Noosa is one of the most sought-after places in the country to build a home — and one of the most carefully protected. From the beaches of Noosa Heads, Sunshine Beach and Sunrise Beach to Noosaville on the river and the hinterland behind, it rewards homes designed with restraint, quality and a genuine feel for the coast. As we grow our South East Queensland practice, Noosa is a market we're expanding into with new local partnerships — bringing our design-led, high-end custom home work north.
Designing for Noosa
Noosa's appeal is no accident: it has some of the strictest planning and character controls in Queensland, with low building heights that keep homes below the tree line, strong tree, landscape and coastal protections, and a low-rise, relaxed character the community guards closely. Great design here works with those controls, not against them — considered, single or split-level homes that sit quietly in the landscape, open to the north light and the breeze, and make the most of the subtropical climate through shade, cross-ventilation and indoor-outdoor living. We study each site's controls under The Noosa Plan and Noosa Shire Council, along with any bushfire, flood or coastal overlays, before a line is drawn.
Our work in South East Queensland
While our Noosa work is just beginning, it's backed by an established South East Queensland portfolio — bespoke coastal homes like Palm Beach House on the Gold Coast, and considered multi-residential such as Aurora in Brisbane. It's the same approach we bring to Noosa: high-end custom design shaped around the site, the climate and the way you want to live. See more in the portfolio.
What we design here
In Noosa we focus on high-end, bespoke custom homes — single dwellings designed around your site, your brief and the subtropical setting. As with every Studio 72 project, we bring custom design, planning approvals and builder engagement together under one roof, so your home is considered, approved and delivered as one seamless process.
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 Noosa site and we'll show you what's possible.

Do you design custom homes in Noosa?
Yes — Noosa and the wider Sunshine Coast are a growing part of our South East Queensland work. We design bespoke, high-end custom homes across Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Sunshine Beach and the hinterland.
Do you understand Noosa Shire Council's planning controls?
Yes. Noosa has some of the most protective planning and character controls in Queensland — strict building heights, tree and landscape protections and coastal overlays. We study each site's controls under The Noosa Plan up front, so the design works with them rather than against them.
What kind of homes do you design in Noosa?
We focus on high-end, bespoke custom homes designed for the subtropical climate and Noosa's relaxed coastal character — considered, low-rise and site-responsive, delivered through design, planning approvals and builder engagement under one roof.
