Boutique residential building across the Redlands Coast and its bay islands.
From canal-side Cleveland to the acreage blocks of Thornlands and the character streets of Wellington Point, Nu-Design builds custom homes, major renovations and alfresco spaces across our home region of Redland City.
Building and renovating across Redlands & Bay Islands.
The Redlands Coast is our home region, a stretch of bayside suburbs where canal estates, character Queenslanders, post-war brick homes and large acreage blocks all sit within a short drive of Moreton Bay. Building here is as much about understanding salt exposure, reactive coastal clays and creek-side overland flow as it is about design, which is why we keep our work close to home so Antony can supervise every site daily.

What building in Redlands & Bay Islands involves.
Common home styles in Redlands & Bay Islands
- Modern coastal architectural residences oriented to bay breezes
- Character Queenslanders and post-war homes undergoing lift, build-under and restoration
- Canal and waterside homes requiring marine-grade structural carpentry
- Acreage lifestyle residences on the larger Thornlands and Mount Cotton blocks
Council & approval notes
The entire region falls under Redland City Council. Common planning considerations include coastal hazard overlays, canal building setbacks, character overlay zones around Wellington Point, and bushfire attack level (BAL) overlays in bushland pockets toward Mount Cotton.
Climate considerations
South-easterly bay breezes, high humidity and salt air define the Redlands microclimate. We design for cross-ventilation and deep eaves, and specify 316 stainless hardware, Colorbond Ultra cladding and Australian hardwood decking that genuinely suits the coastal atmosphere.

Frequently asked questions: Redlands & Bay Islands.
Which council covers building work across the Redlands Coast?
All of our Redlands work falls under Redland City Council. We manage coastal hazard overlays, canal setbacks and character overlay compliance through their planning scheme.
Do you build on the Redlands bay islands?
Bay-island projects (postcodes 4183 and 4184) involve ferry-access materials logistics and are scoped case by case. Please confirm your island block with Antony during a free consultation [CONFIRM].
Are acreage blocks in Thornlands and Mount Cotton handled differently?
Yes, acreage blocks frequently involve on-site wastewater management (septic/HSTP), stormwater detention and bushfire attack level (BAL) construction standards, which we cost into the proposal early.
Can you restore a Queenslander in a Redlands character overlay?
We can. Antony's trade carpentry background is ideal for matching original fretwork, VJ linings and verandah details so the restoration respects the character overlay while lifting thermal performance.
We also build across neighbouring regions.
