Project Richmond

Elevated on a sloping block in Brisbane’s inner-north, this architecturally designed, multi-level home is a striking expression of contemporary living. The bold exterior palette, softened by layers of natural materials and thoughtful landscaping, sets the tone for a home that balances strength with subtlety. At the heart of the home, a statement kitchen flows effortlessly into a light-filled living space anchored by a full-height brick fireplace, inviting year-round comfort and connection.

Designed for both beauty and functionality, the alfresco zone and pool are cleverly positioned at the front of the property to take advantage of the outlook, maximising the elevated views and natural light. Every detail, from the vertical timber balustrade to the refined textures and custom finishes, was crafted to suit the unique context of the block while delivering an exceptional lifestyle outcome. This home is a testament to Emwinn’s expertise in overcoming complexity and delivering uncompromised quality in every corner.

Located in Brisbane’s inner-north, this architecturally designed renovation transforms a classic residence into a refined Hamptons-inspired sanctuary. The home’s timeless street appeal, with its gabled rooflines and traditional detailing, sets the tone for what lies within. Every space has been considered, balancing charm, practicality and craftsmanship in equal measure.

Inside, soft timber flooring, custom joinery and elegant mouldings elevate each room. The kitchen brings together beauty and function, featuring pendant lighting, an integrated bar, and a generous island built for entertaining.

Nestled at the end of a quiet street with direct access to Brisbane’s Kedron Brook, this rare double block in Kalinga presented a unique canvas steeped in heritage and potential. The site housed an abandoned Queenslander, protected under a character overlay, requiring a careful blend of preservation and innovation. The solution was a bold transformation—raising the existing structure to create space beneath while seamlessly integrating a new modern extension that honours the home’s original charm.

This project is a study in restraint and renewal. Working within strict guidelines, the team delivered a contemporary interpretation of a classic Queenslander, designed to meet the demands of modern family living while retaining its character essence. With generous scale, thoughtful planning, and access to one of Brisbane’s most scenic green corridors, this home is now a standout example of how old and new can coexist beautifully in Kalinga.

Positioned in the peaceful bayside suburb of Redland Bay, this low-set residence was purposefully designed for a retired couple looking to enjoy relaxed, single-level living. With uninterrupted views across the water, the home balances privacy and openness, making the most of natural light and the surrounding landscape. The main living space features raked ceilings and expansive glazing that draws in the view, creating a calming sense of scale.

The layout includes a traditional kitchen with detailed joinery, exposed brickwork, and generous bench space, ideal for entertaining or daily rituals. Timber floors add warmth throughout, while a detached granny flat offers added flexibility for guests or extended family. Designed and built in greater Brisbane, this project is a considered response to lifestyle, comfort, and longevity.

Tucked into the scenic surrounds of Samford in Brisbane’s outer north-west, this one-of-a-kind internal renovation was anything but typical.

From the striking custom mosaic feature wall to the show-stopping translucent purple bath, every detail was designed to surprise and delight.

Executed as a full cosmetic upgrade, the home’s new interiors blur the line between art and architecture. No two rooms are alike, with each one layered in texture, colour and statement finishes, from a fashion-forward red dressing room to a luxury bathroom wrapped in high-gloss marble.

A standout addition to our portfolio of creative builds across the greater Brisbane area.

This multi-level home in Kedron, Brisbane, has been crafted for modern family living with a strong focus on light, volume and lifestyle. The design opens up dramatically with soaring cathedral ceilings that create an immediate sense of scale and serenity. Large panels of glass frame the alfresco and pool area, blurring the line between indoors and out.

The heart of the home is built for entertaining, from the bespoke kitchen with its oversized island and pass-through bar, to the expansive outdoor dining zone complete with ceiling fans and integrated heating.

Eleventh Avenue is a true entertainer’s home, thoughtfully designed for relaxed living in Brisbane’s subtropical climate.

Positioned just north of Brisbane in the coastal suburb of Clontarf, this newly built home embraces a modern coastal aesthetic while delivering a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Crisp whites, refined textures, and a sense of openness define the interiors, bringing a calm and collected elegance to everyday living.

Designed to catch glimpses of the coast and harness the natural sea breezes, the home balances clean, contemporary design with a subtle nod to the Queenslander tradition. Feature stonework, timber accents, and light-filled bathrooms add warmth and personality, while the inclusion of a striking kitchen and feature stairwell underscore the craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Set against the backdrop of Toohey Forest in Brisbane’s leafy suburb of Tarragindi, this contemporary split-level home was designed to harmonise with the surrounding landscape. A sloped site and stringent biodiversity and bushfire overlays presented both challenges and opportunities, resulting in a solution that celebrates light, elevation, and materiality. The considered layout features expansive glazing, a central stone spine wall and an open-plan kitchen and living space that balances visual warmth with practical flow.

Polished concrete floors, custom timber joinery and restrained details bring a quiet sophistication to the home. Every design choice was informed by the site, creating a residence that feels grounded yet elevated. With its natural palette and serene outlook, this home is a celebration of connected living within a thriving pocket of Brisbane.
