Building designer for Coolum Beach and Yaroomba

A designer who calls Yaroomba home

Scott lives in Yaroomba and enjoys surfing, mountain biking and camping. That interest in life outdoors carries through to his design philosophy: create spaces that make it easy to enjoy being at home, inside and out.

You deal directly with Scott about your ideas and the design. Read about Scott's approach and see comments from clients who have worked with him.

Plan for your particular block

A home close to the beach and a property on a sloping block can call for different decisions. Discuss exposure, access and changes in level early, along with privacy and where you want to spend time outside. These are site questions to investigate, rather than assumptions to make from a suburb name.

For a Coolum or Yaroomba renovation, begin with the existing home. Which rooms feel too dark? Is the kitchen separated from the outdoor area? Answering those questions gives the design a clear purpose.

Start with a conversation about the property

Send the site address, a short description of your project and any drawings you already have. Scott can discuss the design stages and the information needed to define a scope. If you are still sorting out your budget, the guide to building design costs explains what to ask about.

Haven also works with homeowners in Maroochydore and across the Sunshine Coast. View the project gallery for examples of the studio's work.
