Our Studio.

RG Design Studio is a Sunshine Coast based design practice working across residential and commercial projects. Our focus is on thoughtful, site specific spaces shaped by light, function and restraint.


Since 2016, we've been committed to design that feels grounded and considered. Every project is approached with care, guided by the conditions of the land and the needs of the people who will live there. The result is work that feels deliberate, enduring, and right for its place.

Our Approach.

Design begins with observation. We study the site, its orientation, climate, topography and surroundings. These fundamentals shape the layout, the form and the materials.


The process with you is collaborative and considered. It is not about applying a style, but uncovering what belongs. Through each stage, the goal is to create something calm, practical and enduring.

Philosophies

Our work is shaped by a few guiding principles. These ideas help us design with purpose and deliver buildings that feel as good to live in as they are to look at.

(01)
Site leads form

Orientation, views, topography and climate are not constraints. They are starting points. Each project begins by reading the land and allowing it to shape the design.

(02)
Function first, always

Every decision is grounded in how people live. How they move, gather, retreat. Practicality is not a layer added later, but the foundation on which everything else is built.

(03)
Balance and resolution

Good design balances exposure with enclosure, openness with retreat. From volumes and zoning to light and shade, every element is resolved to feel cohesive and calm.

(04)
Clarity over complexity

We value simplicity, legibility and restraint. When design is grounded in purpose, it doesn’t need to explain itself. It simply feels right.
