A Better Approach to Design

Urban Solutions Architects is a Brisbane-based practice specialising in larger-scale home renovations and extensions including sites affected by planning overlays such as the Traditional Building Character Overlay

​

We work with homeowners who want to do more than just “add space” — they want to improve how their home works, feels, and performs over time.

​

With over 30 years’ experience across residential, multi-residential and commercial projects, we bring a level of design resolution, coordination and buildability not typically applied to smaller renovation projects.

​

The result is a more considered outcome — and a smoother path from concept through to construction.

How We Help

Renovation projects often go wrong before construction even begins — through unclear scope, poor planning, or misalignment between design and budget.

 

We focus on resolving these issues early.

 

Our services include:

​

Renovation Strategy & Feasibility


Our Pre-design Process helps you determine what’s worth doing — and what’s not — before committing to design or construction.

​

Architectural Design for Major Renovations


Developing clear, well-resolved design solutions that improve layout, functionality and spatial quality.

​

Documentation & Delivery Support


Ensuring your project is coordinated, buildable, and aligned with your budget before it goes to site.

Finding the Right Fit?

We’re best suited to projects where design plays a meaningful role in the outcome.

​

Typically, our clients:

  • Are planning renovations or extensions from $400,000+

  • Want to resolve the design properly before documentation

  • Value long-term quality over short-term cost savings

  • Are looking for clear advice early in the process

​

If you’re still exploring options or comparing prices, we’re happy to point you in the right direction — but our focus is on well-considered, higher-value projects.

Our Pre-Design Process

Most renovation projects fail to meet expectations because key decisions are made too late — after design has started or costs have escalated.

​

We take a different approach.

​

Before committing to full design, we guide clients through a structured Pre-Design Process that:

  • Tests what’s possible on your site

  • Aligns your brief with a realistic construction budget

  • Explores design options before major costs are incurred

  • Provides clarity on approvals, consultants and next steps​

​

This process ensures that when you move forward, you do so with confidence and a clear plan.​

Our clients consistently tell us the same thing — that taking the time to properly resolve the project early made the entire process smoother and more predictable.
