Modern house at dusk among trees
Dark timber house lit up at night

Homes thatbreathe with the tropics.

An architecture studio in Cairns. We design houses that stay cool without trying, open up to the rain and age beautifully.

Redlynch Rainforest House
The studio

Shade, breeze and a little bit of quiet. For 14 years we've been drawing houses for Far North Queensland – built from honest materials, made for real families.

Our approach

Designed for 36 degrees and a wet season.

01Let it breathe

Cross-ventilation first, air-con second. Every room catches the afternoon breeze.

02Deep shade

Wide eaves, timber screens and verandahs you actually live on – all year round.

03Built to last

Cyclone-rated, low maintenance and made from materials that get better with age.

Inside our homes

“We wanted a house that felt like a holiday. They gave us one we never want to leave.”

— The Hendersons, Trinity Beach
