Scandi Beach Residence
By BYO Floor Plan
Location:
Located in Palm Beach, this waterfront property enjoys its own private beach with views back to Burleigh headland. As with most of the suburb, this land is significantly flood-affected and calls for an elevated floor system to meet council regulations.
Design:
Still midway through the Concept Design process, this project is searching for the ideal arrangement of rooms to accommodate a large family's needs whilst retaining as much outdoor space as possible to enjoy the subtropical climate we enjoy on the Gold Coast. Large sliding doors off all rooms on the ground level create endless connections with the landscape and a strong architectural form brings elements of Scandinavian design to the home, expressing a level of luxury and design minimalism to place the focus on the surrounding landscape and views.
Project Status:
This project is currently going through a series of design workshops whereby the owner is producing their own iterations of the design for discussion and development with technical assistance from BYO Floor Plan.
Upon reaching a viable layout that will be professionally developed with scaled drawings and a 3D model, a structural engineer will be appointed to review the overall design which includes oversized window and door openings, vaulted ceilings and a raised floor system. The building will also be exposed to strong breezes off the waterway, so bracing of a large span structure like this will need careful design consideration if to avoid otherwise costly construction methods.
Helping landowners navigate the preconstruction process and develop their design ideas, to the point that a set of professional documents can be tendered to 3 licensed builders for comparable quotes, is the core service provided by BYO Floor Plan
See our downloadable initial concept design PDF below which includes the floor plans.

About the
Professional
Are you a Tradie or Construction Professional?
We recognise you have an understanding of construction, but may need some guidance through the design and approval process, so by bringing your own floor plan to us, we specialise in fast-tracking this process. With an Open Building Designer's License, we can provide as much or little assistance as you'd like to help you achieve the best outcome for your project.
Unlike 99% of architects might tell you, we don't 'specialise' in a dozen different categories of buildings. BYO Floor Plan specialises in a process. That is consulting to clients who have a sound knowledge of the construction industry, although seek professional assistance to take their ideas from sketches into builder's quotes and approvals. Usually, that is one key thing, bridging the gap between the floor plan you've arrived at and its approval to start construction.
By "Bringing Your Own Floor Plan" and design imagery to us, we’ll get the creative juices flowing right away by creating your building's scale and character. When we present the design(s) you’ll be pleased by the elegantly resolved solution and feel as if you’ve had significant design input. Often our clients are pleasantly surprised that it appears just as they had imagined it even though they couldn’t actually imagine it!
BYO Floor Plan operates under an Open Building Designer’s License (QBCC 15254518), is professionally insured, is a full member of the Building Designer’s Association of Australia, and actively attends industry events. While we are based on the Gold Coast, we have projects as far south as the Byron Shire and as far north as the Whitsundays. Call or email us today to find out how to turn your floor plan sketch into 3 comparable quotes from licensed builders.
