Residential Renovations — Where heritage character meets modern coastal living, creating spaces that honor the past while embracing the future
Every home has a story. We help write the next chapter by transforming Gold Coast properties with thoughtful design that preserves what you love while creating the lifestyle you dream of. From heritage beach houses to modern waterfront homes, we create spaces that truly feel like home.
Transforming Homes, Enhancing Lives
Your home is more than just a building—it's where life happens. Whether you're drawn to a heritage beach house with character, a modern apartment with views, or a family home that needs to grow with you, every property has untapped potential waiting to be discovered. At Burleigh Beach Designs, we specialise in revealing that potential through thoughtful renovations that respect the past while embracing the future.
Our approach to residential transformation
Understanding Your Story
Every home renovation begins with listening. We take time to understand how you live, what you love about your current space, and what dreams you have for its future.
Respecting Character
Whether it's a weathered beach shack or a mid-century modernist gem, we honor the unique personality that drew you to your property in the first place.
Creating Connection
The Gold Coast lifestyle is about connection—to nature, to family, to community. We design spaces that strengthen these connections through thoughtful indoor-outdoor flow and strategic use of natural light.
Maximising Potential
Hidden within every existing structure are opportunities waiting to be discovered. Poor layouts become open living spaces, dark corners become sun-filled retreats, and unused areas become family favorites.
Designing for Tomorrow
We don't just renovate for today—we design with consideration for how your family might grow and change, creating flexible spaces that can adapt beautifully over time.
Seamless Integration
New work should feel like it was always meant to be there. We carefully consider materials, proportions, and architectural details to create harmony between old and new.
Coastal Living Expertise
From maximising ocean breezes to creating pool areas that become the heart of the home, we understand what makes Gold Coast living special.
Your Dream Home is Waiting to be Discovered
The most beautiful homes aren't always built from scratch—sometimes they're hiding within properties that just need someone to see their potential. From transforming cramped beach cottages into light-filled family sanctuaries to turning outdated canal homes into sophisticated entertaining spaces, we specialise in revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary. Every project tells a unique story of transformation, where thoughtful design meets genuine craftsmanship to create homes that truly reflect their owners' dreams.
