Tailored Multi-Residential Design Solutions
At templo®, we specialise in custom-designed multi-residential housing projects, including townhouses, villas, terraces, duplexes, and semi-attached dwellings. Our Brisbane-based team brings a wealth of experience in designing high-quality, site-responsive plans that meet both council requirements. and market demands. Whether you’re a developer or private client, we work closely with you to maximise yield, enhance liveability, and ensure your multi-dwelling project is both functional and visually appealing.
Maximising Land Potential with Smart Planning
Multi-residential housing design is all about intelligent space planning and site optimisation. Templo® understands the unique zoning, lot size, and overlay constraints involved in Brisbane, Logan, and surrounding council areas. Our expert building designers create efficient layouts that make the most of narrow blocks, corner lots, and sloping sites—delivering compliant, cost-effective solutions that unlock the full development potential of your land.
“Great multi-residential design isn’t just about fitting more on a block—it’s about creating smarter, better living for more people.”
Council Approvals and Compliance Made Easy
Navigating town planning requirements and council approvals can be one of the most complex aspects of multi-residential development. At templo®, we handle this process with confidence and clarity. Our team is experienced in preparing documentation for development applications (DAs), material change of use (MCU), and building approvals (BAs) across various councils. We ensure all designs for townhouses, duplexes, and villa units meet relevant codes and planning schemes, reducing delays and increasing approval success.

We understand that a successful multi-dwelling development must appeal to both residents and investors. Templo’s designs combine thoughtful floorplans with strong architectural style—balancing privacy, light, flow, and contemporary street appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of multi-residential housing does Templo design?
We design a wide range of multi-residential housing types, including townhouses, villas, terraces, duplexes, and semi-attached dwellings. Whether it’s a boutique development or a larger-scale project, we tailor our designs to suit your site, budget, and planning requirements.
Can you help with council approvals for multi-dwelling projects?
Yes. We have extensive experience working with councils like Brisbane City Council and Logan City Council. We prepare all necessary documentation for development applications (DAs), material change of use (MCU), and building approvals (BAs) to ensure a smooth approvals process.
How do you maximise the number of dwellings on a site?
We start by assessing zoning, site size, setbacks, and overlays to determine development potential. Our designers then create efficient layouts that meet planning codes while maximising yield, liveability, and market appeal.
Do you provide concept designs for feasibility studies?
Absolutely. We can produce concept plans to help you assess project viability, potential yield, and site-specific challenges. This is ideal for developers or property owners looking to understand their site’s potential before proceeding to full design.
Can you design for sloping or narrow blocks?
Yes, we’re highly experienced in designing multi-residential projects on challenging sites, including steep slopes, narrow frontages, and corner lots. We tailor each design to work with the land, not against it.
What makes Templo different from other building designers?
Templo® combines 20+ years of experience with a passion for bespoke building design. We don’t do cookie-cutter—we create multi-residential housing that’s practical, stylish, and perfectly aligned with local market needs and council regulations.
