Roger Street is a striking coastal modern home in designed by Templo® Studio to balance bold architectural form with natural materials and a relaxed bayside lifestyle. This bespoke residence showcases how thoughtful design can elevate everyday living through spatial planning, texture, and connection to the outdoors.
The home’s façade delivers strong street appeal, combining natural stone, timber battens, and soft curved elements to create depth and visual interest. A standout feature is the upper-level concrete planter, introducing greenery at height and reinforcing the home’s connection to nature—an essential element in contemporary Brisbane coastal home design.
Internally, the home is organised around a central “crossroad” circulation space, a unique design move that enhances flow and functionality. A sculptural curved staircase, set against a warm timber feature wall, anchors the space and creates a refined architectural moment. Adjacent to this, a practical mudroom-style drop zone with bench seating and VJ panelling connects seamlessly to the garage and laundry—ideal for modern family living.
Opposite, a versatile multi-purpose area functions as a study nook, reading space, or daybed retreat, with soft curves and architectural cut-outs continuing the home’s cohesive design language. These carefully considered spaces highlight Templo Studio’s expertise in custom home design that blends aesthetics with everyday usability.
The upper level opens into a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, designed to maximise space, natural light, and connection to the outdoors. Expansive glazing, stacker doors, and a dramatic double-height void create volume and visual openness, while framing views of the surrounding landscape.
The kitchen embodies a refined coastal aesthetic, featuring curved forms, minimalist detailing, natural textures, and ample storage, making it both a functional workspace and a central gathering point for the home.
A carefully integrated breezeway enhances cross-ventilation and airflow, a key consideration for Queensland homes, while strengthening the indoor-outdoor connection that defines modern coastal living.
The master suite is designed as a private sanctuary, overlooking the pool and landscaped backyard. Soft finishes, generous proportions, and natural light create a calming retreat. The adjoining ensuite features a freestanding bath, floating vanity, double shower, and concealed toilet, finished with warm, earthy tones for a timeless and sophisticated feel.
This new residential design project is a standout example of modern coastal architecture in Brisbane, where materiality, spatial planning, and lifestyle-driven design come together to create a home that is both highly functional and visually refined. It reflects Templo® Studio’s commitment to delivering bespoke homes, coastal-inspired designs, and contemporary family living solutions tailored to each unique site and client.
