About Quorum Studios
We design homes that feel genuinely yours
We're Manny and Vanessa — a boutique architectural team who keep things personal in an industry that often prioritises scale over soul. Every project begins with a simple question: how do you want to live?
In Hamilton and Ascot, that question has a specific architectural answer. The steep sites, the planning overlays, the structural complexity of a hillside brief — these are not obstacles. In the right hands, they become the design.
We offer a free initial consultation — including before you purchase your site. The clients who get the best results in Hamilton start that conversation early.

Why Quorum Studios
What makes the difference on a Hamilton or Ascot project
We start before you commit
The clients who get the best results in Hamilton and Ascot talk to us before they finalise the site purchase. We assess what the block supports, what the overlay means, and what a realistic budget looks like — before you're committed to anything.
Principal leads every project personally
Not handed to a graduate after the concept is approved. The architect who understands your brief is the architect who delivers it — from first site visit to final inspection. No hand-offs. No surprises.
Street-by-street planning expertise
Hamilton's steep-site storey calculation rules. Paddington's Local Character Significance overlay. Bulimba's LCS provisions. We know them site by site, street by street — and we use them as design tools, not obstacles.

What we do
Prestige residential architecture across Brisbane's inner suburbs

Contemporary homes on Hamilton Hill, Ascot ridgeline sites, and inner-suburban lots — designed for how you actually live, not for how a project home template says you should.
From $2.5M constructionQueenslander Renovations
Heritage-sensitive renovations that retain and celebrate the original fabric while delivering a genuinely contemporary brief. The old and new in genuine dialogue.
From $1.5M constructionCharacter Home Transformation
Workers' cottages, post-war homes, and character properties transformed under Brisbane's TBC and LCS overlays. Every project shaped by what the specific street and site demand.
From $1.5M constructionSteep Site Architecture
Hamilton Hill and Paddington's most demanding sites. Structural assessment from day one. The topography treated as a design generator — not a problem to be solved at the end.
From $2M construction"Great architecture isn't just about square metres — it's about connection. We design homes that bring people closer, that hold families in their rhythm, and create spaces where moments naturally unfold."
