That project was a $15 million-plus affordable housing project Arbor Sherwood for the client BHC. That project won the UDIA Award for Design Excellence in 2021. Sofie has also worked across other residential projects for tier-one clients in Australia. A year ago, Haus of Creations headed a new build in Tallai on the Gold Coast. Sofie describes the Hamptons-style Queenslander-esque project as “A complex project in a semi-hinterland” The fourbedroom, three-bathroom home with garage is an example of how to build on complex sites and achieve a client’s vision on a site that isn’t straightforward, she says. “It’s a beautiful family home with lovely views out to the valley and over the Gold Coast,” says Sofie. The site itself was on a very steep incline with bushfire requirements. Another challenging project was ‘Villas on TwentyFifth,’ a contemporary collection of four luxury townhouse residences, located within 200 meters of the Gold Coast beaches in Palm Beach. These three-story villas are in a highly sought-after location on the Gold Coast, and Sofie ended up taking on the role of project lead. “It was quite a challenging project,” says Sofie. “The site was only 560 square meters. We were able to fit four fairly sizeable villas with double garages on that site. Each has four bedrooms, big kitchens, and living and dining areas, flowing to an outdoor deck. It’s an aesthetically amazing, beautiful project.” FEBRUARY 2025
