The UrbanLuxe Difference
Modern, Functional Homes Tailored To Your Lifestyle.
No hidden costs
We believe in complete transparency from the very beginning. With our fixed-price contracts, you’ll know exactly what your home will cost before you commit. Everything is clearly outlined upfront, so you can make confident decisions with a full understanding of your investment. If anything changes, it’s discussed with you first
Dedicated project management
One point of contact for the whole build. No hunting down subcontractors or chasing updates. Your project manager keeps everything on track.
Quality that lasts
Our 50+ trade and supplier network means we use the same trusted teams on every build. Consistent quality. Skilled people. Materials chosen for how they hold up, not just how they look.
We Start With Your Vision
Every home begins with a real conversation. We take the time to understand how you live, what you value, and what you want from your home, including your budget, block, and timeline. This ensures your design is shaped around you from the very beginning.
Smart Design That Balances Form and Function
Our team refines layouts, finishes, and features to suit your lifestyle and site. Every decision is intentional, combining liveability, aesthetics, and long-term practicality to create single storey homes that feel as good as they look.
Seamless Planning and Site Confidence
We assess your block to identify opportunities and constraints, then manage council approvals and compliance for you. This helps reduce risk, avoid surprises, and ensure your home is ready to build with confidence.
Why Build Single Storey?
Simple Living, Thoughtfully Designed
Built for Queensland Living
Single storey homes suit Southeast Queensland’s climate perfectly. Wider layouts support natural cross-ventilation, indoor-outdoor flow, and generous alfresco spaces designed for year-round living.
More Practical for Families
Everything on one level means easier, safer everyday living. No stairs and smoother movement through the home, as well as more practical layouts for busy family life.
Faster to Build
With fewer structural complexities than double storey homes, single storey builds are often more straightforward, helping reduce delays and support a more predictable timeline.
Affordable to Build and Maintain
Single level homes can be more cost-effective to build and simpler to maintain over time, with easier access to roofing, gutters, and external upkeep.

More About Single Storey Building
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about building a single storey home? Here are some of the most common things we’re asked.
Where do you build?
We build single-storey homes across Greater Brisbane, Southeast Queensland, and the Sunshine Coast. From established suburbs to new estate developments, we can work with your block, location, and budget.
How much does a single storey home cost to build in Brisbane?
Costs vary depending on the design size, site conditions, and your chosen inclusions. Because every block is different, we don’t use generic pricing. Instead, we provide clear, fixed-price contracts tailored to your home, so you know exactly where you stand before you commit.
How long does it take to build a single storey home?
Timeframes depend on design and site conditions, but single storey homes are generally quicker to build than double storey homes due to simpler construction. You’ll receive a clear, realistic build schedule at contract stage, managed by your dedicated project manager.
Can I customise a single storey home design?
Yes, all of our single storey designs can be personalised. From colours and finishes to fixtures and layout adjustments, we guide you through every choice using real samples so you can make confident decisions.
Do you offer house and land packages for single storey homes?
Yes, we offer house and land packages across Greater Brisbane and Southeast Queensland. If you already have land, we can design and build on your block. If not, we can help you find a suitable lot that matches your chosen home design.
What is a QBCC licence and why does it matter?
A QBCC licence means we are legally licensed to build residential homes in Queensland. It also means your build is covered under the Queensland Home Warranty Scheme, giving you added protection and peace of mind throughout your project.
Do you build on narrow blocks?
Yes. Many of our single storey designs are suited to narrow blocks. We’ll assess your frontage, depth, and orientation, then recommend designs that work with your land, not against it.
What are popular single storey home design styles?
Popular single storey styles in Queensland include modern coastal, contemporary minimalist, and Hamptons-inspired designs. Each focuses on open-plan living, clean lines, and strong indoor-outdoor connections to suit our climate and lifestyle.
How can you maximise space in a single storey house?
Smart layout planning is key, like open-plan living, multi-use spaces, and reducing wasted hallway areas. Built-in storage, strategic zoning between living and sleeping areas, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow also help make a home feel larger without increasing its footprint.
What are common mistakes in single storey house design?
Common mistakes include poor zoning (like bedrooms too close to noisy living areas), lack of storage, oversized hallways, and not considering block orientation. These can all impact comfort, privacy, and long-term liveability.
How do you plan a functional single storey house layout?
Start with lifestyle: how you live day-to-day, how many people are in the home, and how you use your spaces. From there, we separate living and sleeping zones, prioritise natural flow, and design around your block’s shape, orientation, and slope.
How do you design a single storey home for natural light?
We orient key living areas towards the sun, use larger windows and sliding doors, and incorporate open-plan layouts to allow light to travel through the home. Courtyards, skylights, and light wells can also help brighten internal spaces.
How many bedrooms can fit in a single storey home design?
Most single storey homes comfortably accommodate 3 to 5 bedrooms, depending on the block size and layout. On larger lots, it’s possible to include additional living areas, studies, or guest rooms without compromising flow or functionality.
