Nestled between Brisbane’s city and the western suburbs, Toowong is known for its leafy streets, hillside homes, and mix of heritage and contemporary architecture. At dion seminara architecture, our Toowong architects have spent over 35 years designing homes that celebrate the suburb’s natural topography and relaxed riverside lifestyle — creating spaces that feel distinctly Toowong.
Our architectural designs in Toowong respond to steep sites, flood-prone areas, and the suburb’s evolving character, as well as the housing overlay. Whether you’re restoring a Queenslander, extending a post-war home, or designing a custom new residence, our approach strikes a balance between timeless aesthetics and functional, climate-responsive design.

This Toowong home renovation is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can bring new life to a classic home. The brief called for improved liveability and flow while retaining the home’s original charm.
Our design approach features open-plan living spaces that seamlessly connect with the outdoors, enhancing natural light and cross ventilation throughout the home. By enhancing the connection between levels and reconfiguring the floor plan, the home now supports contemporary family living while maintaining its character appeal.
The result is a timeless home that celebrates Toowong’s hillside beauty — comfortable, functional, and unmistakably Brisbane.

Designing in Toowong requires a deep understanding of the suburb’s architectural heritage and environmental conditions. As registered Toowong architects, we bring decades of local knowledge and technical expertise to every project.
Our architectural expertise extends well beyond Toowong. We’ve designed and delivered exceptional homes in areas such as Bardon, Red Hill, Sherwood, and Mt Nebo — each with its own unique character and opportunities. We also service many other locations.
