From a single custom home to a 100-apartment development — residential design that balances design quality with practical construction outcomes.

Residential design across every scale

BuiltIN Studio's residential portfolio spans the full spectrum: hero family homes, knockdown rebuilds, dual occupancies, townhouse developments, boutique apartments and large-scale mixed-use. The thread through all of it is the same — design that balances livability and beauty with the realities of cost, planning and construction.

We work with private homeowners, developers, builders and landowners. Whether the project is your forever home or a thirty-unit yield play, we bring the same craft and the same construction-trained pragmatism.

Residential building design Melbourne — custom home and apartment design

Custom homes

Knockdown rebuilds and new builds for owners who want something genuinely tailored. We start with a thorough understanding of how you actually live, and shape a home around that — not a catalogue plan with the kitchen flipped. Our construction background means we can advise on cost trade-offs in real time, before they become problems on site.

Multi-dwelling & townhouses

Dual occupancies, three- and four-pack townhouse developments, side-by-sides — we know the planning levers that make these projects work in Melbourne, and the design moves that maximise yield without triggering planning objections. Documentation is prepared with feasibility, sales and construction in mind.

Apartments & mixed-use

Boutique 6-residence projects through to 100+ unit developments with ground-floor retail. See our project portfolio for examples — Drummond Rise (73 apartments + retail), Bellview (114 residences), Swindon (26 apartments with $1M penthouse), The Huntingdale (26 boutique residences) and more.

Renovations & additions

First-floor additions, rear extensions, full internal upgrades, period-home transformations. Sensitivity to original character paired with the modern amenity that makes old homes work for contemporary families.
