Invilla Architecture designs coastal homes and residential developments on the Sunshine Coast, from our Sunshine Coast studio in Currimundi and our Brisbane studio in Morningside. Our Sunshine Coast work includes Paradise on Peninsula, a Noosaville waterfront home featured on two Home Beautiful covers, and Sunshine, four boutique homes at Sunshine Beach. Design is led by registered architects and fees are fixed, agreed before any drawing starts.
A home on the Sunshine Coast is designed for a subtropical climate, where cross-ventilation and managing heat matter as much as the view. We design homes across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast that are built to be both beautiful and resilient, with the same whole-project approach on every site, from a waterfront renovation to a multi-home development.
This Noosa waterfront property began as a postmodern rendered house that didn't use the site or capture the water views. The clients' brief was a resort-style Hamptons home fused with waterside Queenslander charm, delivered under an 8.5m height limit on a block that tapers towards the water. Every room was aligned so each space enjoys a feature outlook or water view, a wrap-around pool became the centrepiece, and the design achieved generous internal ceiling heights within the height limit. The home was featured on the covers of Home Beautiful in December 2021 and January 2022. Read the full case study.
Sunshine is a residential development at Sunshine Beach: four boutique homes a few minutes' walk from the beach. Each home is arranged vertically across four levels, with a private pool and garden at the ground, a rooftop terrace facing the ocean, and a lift connecting the levels. It's the same whole-project design thinking we bring to our custom homes, applied to residential development.
Our Sunshine Coast studio is on Hume Pde in Currimundi. Sunshine Coast projects follow the same four stages as every Invilla home: the first conversation, concept design, design development and approvals, and construction documentation. Fees are fixed and agreed before we start, and our fee guide explains how they work.
