Hamptons Style Specialists
dion seminara architects are experienced in transforming homes of various original styles into a Hampton’s style whilst maintaining those elements that are most suitable for our climate. If you are in the market for a renovation of your existing home or new custom home design, Hampton style, then our team can deliver the home of your dreams.
Hampton style renovations especially to Queenslander homes or Hampton style new house designs have become increasingly popular throughout South East Queensland over the past few years. But whilst these homes are popular summertime retreats in the U.S. they are not exactly suited to our subtropical climate. Careful planning and design adaptation is required to create a Hampton style home that is both stunning and practical.

What are Hamptons style homes?
Hampton style homes get their name from the popularity of this style of home in the Hamptons, Long Island, New York. They are impressive looking homes that are popular with those that like to entertain, or simply enjoy an indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
Common features include:
- Timber exteriors, typically painted white
- Gable styled roofs with wide balconies
- Large windows, including feature bay windows
- Large openings connecting indoors to outdoor undercover areas
- Timber framed bi-fold glass doors
- Wide verandahs and other undercover areas
- A focus on indoor/outdoor living and entertaining
- Kitchens tend to be elaborate and centre-pieces

Architecture, Interior & Landscape Design
Integrated Design
These homes are designed in such a way that the outdoor undercover areas effectively become an extension of the interior of the home. Movement in and out of the home is not only effortless but often unnoticeable as the openings are wide and the floor finishes tend to carry through from the interior into the wide verandas. The floor finishes themselves can be polished timber or tiles.
We find that the key to creating the perfect Hampton’s style home is to ensure that all parts of the property are designed to work together. Our holistic design approach to exterior architecture, interior design and landscape design perfectly lends itself to this style of home.
Queenslander Architects Twist
Hamptons style meets Queenslander style
Hamptons style merged with Queenslander homes is a union that, when designed by experienced Queenslander architects, produces stunning offspring. There are plenty of similarities between the two styles of homes. But it’s the differences that make them such a natural match. By taking the best design elements of one and combining them with the other, Queenslander architects like us make it possible to create a truly stunning Brisbane Hamptons style home.

Adapting the Hampton Style for Queensland
Whilst Hampton style homes are often referred to as ‘summer homes’ they don’t really lend themselves to our subtropical climate, at least not in their traditional form. So to get the Hampton’s style look, but in a form that suits our climate year round, you need an architect who has the skills to blend the style of the home with the eco-friendly functionality that South East Queensland requires. We have a great understanding of eco-friendly home design, cross-flow ventilation and how to take advantage of natural lighting and can adapt the Hampton’s style to suit the Brisbane climate.
Our ability to create seamless connections between interior and outdoor living spaces is exactly what’s needed to create a successful Hampton style home design. Your lifestyle is the main consideration in any home design. We are experts at creating homes that suit people’s lifestyles. As Hampton style architects we have the ability to master plan your home design so you have the flexibility to build in stages if required.
So if you’re looking for a Hampton style house design in Brisbane, or you would simply like to know more contact us today. We are only too happy to answer any questions you might have.
