Seagull Avenue Residence was a reimagined Beach House for clients whose own parents built the original Beach House on the site at Nobby Beach in the 1940s. Back when they visited from Brisbane for Beach Holidays and had to forge their own track to the beach from the site being one of the first dwellings in the area. 

The character of the design was a reflection and reinterpretation of the original beach house dwelling in materiality and detailing. Broken down batten features allow light and breezes to penetrate whilst providing filtered screening to the elements and privacy to adjoining higher density developments. Internal courtyard spaces were positioned on the entry axis which also opens each side to function as an external breezeway two-storey void penetrating the site, also allowing connectivity to the streetscape and community. The outcome has allowed the next generation to also enjoy the site as a treasured Holiday Beach House destination with the capacity to now cater to extended family and honour the original build.

We Are Habitat Studio Architects

Habitat Studio Architects is a progressive design based boutique architectural practice committed to providing our clients with quality design and professional service.

Habitat Studio Architects is a multi-disciplinary practice established in 2010 out of an urge for creative freedom to maintain a high level of design on projects that connect with & consider the environment in which they are sited. Each of our designs are a reflection of the unique character of the site, to create a ‘sense of place’ that responds to climate and the local context. Environmental sustainability of our architecture is part of the process rather than an option. We incorporate sustainable principles and appropriate material selection in all our designs relevant to the brief.

The collaborative nature of the studio allows great flexibility with a large range of project scales including high end residential and beach houses, multi-residential townhouses and units, mixed use commercial, hospitality, industrial, fit-outs & interiors. Habitat Studio is an Australian Institute of Architects A+ Practice with project locations spreading down the Eastern Coastline from Cairns, Airlie Beach, Gold Coast, Northern NSW, Newcastle, Melbourne & Internationally to Singapore & Papua New Guinea.

You’ll probably find we are more passionate about your project than you are.

Habitat Studio Architects offers services in Architecture, Design & Documentation, Interiors, as well as 3D Visualisation in the form of concept modelling & sketches through to photorealistic marketing images.

We have a close working relationship with all secondary consultants required to realise your project and coordinate the relevant approvals process by authorities. We value the close working relationship between the client, architect and builder and have point of contact with previous recommended builders to tender for you and ensure a smooth process. Our fine level of detail and resolution of our buildings and documentation has a reputation amongst builders, making their job easier to achieve the desired outcome.

We have a varied scope of services reflective of our fees tailored to suit your needs & budget. Whether it be design only, DA approval, documentation, interiors or complete contract administration through construction, Habitat Studio Architects can accommodate your requirements. Through value adding to your end product and the cost savings through the construction phase it should be considered as an investment through the building process you can’t afford to go without.

From conception through to completion we work collaboratively with the client for a greater understanding of how they live their life, to develop their brief and to create a solution that far exceeds their expectations.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
