Residential building designer in Maroochydore

Make your home work for the way you live

You may be starting with a vacant block or reconsidering a home you already own. In either case, a useful design begins with your priorities: the rooms you need, the way you entertain and the connection you want with your outdoor space.

Based in Yaroomba, Scott works with homeowners across the Sunshine Coast. Haven is a residential design studio; you speak with Scott about the brief and how the concept develops.

Consider the property before choosing a floor plan

Access, orientation and neighbouring homes all influence the design. On an existing property, the position of rooms and outdoor areas can create opportunities as well as constraints. A site assessment helps bring those questions into the brief before detailed drawings begin.

For a Maroochydore renovation, think about what you want to keep as well as what you want to change. More floor area is one option; better connections between existing spaces may also be worth exploring.

Check requirements for the actual site

Planning controls and building approval requirements depend on the property and proposal. Use Sunshine Coast Council's building guidance as a starting point, then confirm the requirements with the appropriate professionals. An early design discussion can help identify the information still needed.

See the design approach before you enquire

The Mint, Currimundi project shows Haven's interest in connected indoor and outdoor living. Explore the photographs and read the design process to understand how a brief becomes a set of plans.

To get started, share your Maroochydore site address, any existing drawings and a short description of your project. If you are comparing quotes, the guide to design fees explains what to check.
