About our Studio
We design homes that are a joy to live in, tailered to your current lifestyle and to the lifestyle you plan to have in the years ahead. We support you in your design and construction journey, from master planning your project and getting your brief resolved, through construction, to move in day and beyond!
We believe the home should support human connections, personal retreat, connection to nature, and be sustainable. We prioritize making best use of orientation, natural light, shading and breezes, landscape and views.
Neil Design specialises in architecture and interior design for new homes, renovations and interiors in Brisbane and all over Queensland.
The studio is led by director Kahn Neil, registered architect, with Helen Keating, senior interior designer, an integral part of the team.
We'd love to discuss your project with you. Get in touch today to talk about your dream home or renovation with principal architect, Kahn Neil. Email kahn@neildesign.com.au to book a telephone chat or meeting.

What our Clients are saying
“Great to work with – imaginative, collaborative and patient. We were thrilled with the new spaces Kahn designed for us and thrilled by how that transformed the rest of our house and its yard. It's been lovely living in the new spaces, inside and out, and getting to know them – always new things to discover and to enjoy about the result. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Neil Design in terms of process and outcomes; it's been a joy.” Ash H, Parkland Flood Resilient
“I couldn’t be any happier with the end result of our renovation. I’ve looked at your Instagram post and you certainly nailed everything in the brief. Your communication and attention to detail throughout the project was exceptional. Through your design concepts you have managed to successfully design us a home that functions perfectly for our family while still managing to retain the heritage of the house, which was important to us. The final product has surpassed our expectations. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Helen on the design, and John certainly did an outstanding job on the build. Everyone that’s come through the house is blown away by the design and the quality of the build. Now that we’ve lived in the house, I can say with confidence that there’s nothing I would change.” Sharon, Tarragindi Entertainer
“Remarkably professional, helpful and compassionate team that not only hit brief, they surpassed expectations.” Nick, Orient Flood Resilient Home
