building design
for sunshine coast development
Securing development approval is about more than ticking boxes. Councils want to see building design for development that enhances their locale, and tenants need spaces that work and attract customers.
We design striking, practical buildings and rejuvenate existing precincts to meet both demands.
Commercially Viable Solutions
We have solid experience designing for commercial sites so we understand how to get the most from a property.
We’ve worked on challenging locations like The Wharf, where buildings skirt and cantilever the Mooloolah River, and The Big Pineapple, a heritage-listed site requiring careful planning.
Our approach is efficient, cost-effective, and council-friendly—balancing great design with commercial viability.
Feature Project:
The Wharf Mooloolaba
A landmark tourism precinct revitalised into a thriving hospitality and retail destination.
Working closely with seasoned developers, EvansLong, greatly strengthened our understanding of commercial viability guided decisions, from space efficiency to leasing potential, maximising the precinct’s long-term success without resorting to a knock down.
Kristen has a unique ability to interpret our overall vision and then is able to take it to a new level… I would and do recommend him to anyone in the hospitality or development space.

Small Team, Broad Skill Set
We produce photo-realistic renderings and fly-throughs that help sell your vision to investors, tenants and the council.
Our In-house high-level site surveys capture essential data without requiring a surveyor, allowing us to work with existing cadastral data and get the process rolling without unnecessary delays.
We have good working relationships with Sunshine Coast town planners, ensuring easy information transfer.
Our knowledge of commercial leasing and fit out design means our building designs have tenants in mind—flexible layouts, efficient footprints, and features that attract the right operators.
