What Baahouse + Baastudio Architecture does

BAAHOUSE + BAASTUDIO Pty Ltd is a privately-held Brisbane-based architectural practice operating under two brands — BAASTUDIO Architecture, a full-service residential and commercial design firm, and BAAHOUSE, a sub-brand offering pre-designed small homes and granny flats. The company delivers the full project lifecycle for its clients: master planning, conceptual design, development approval and council submission, construction documentation, tendering assistance, optional interior design and external works, and project management through completion. Headcount is five staff, led by principal architect Claus Ejlertsen, with the firm reporting 25+ years of architectural design experience underpinning the practice. Service territory is concentrated in Southeast Queensland and Northern NSW, with ZOOM consultations extending reach to interstate clients and prior projects extending to Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast.

Production is anchored in 3D interior rendering for client visualisation, detailed construction documentation (joinery, electrical, lighting plans, and material schedules), and a proprietary Schedule of Finishes document that codifies materials, suppliers, colours, and finishes to reduce builder variations during construction. The firm has won industry recognition including the 2022 BDAA National Awards — Lysaght Industry Partner Award and a Kitchen Finalist placement for The Gap Queenslander Entertainer Renovation. Operations run from a single studio in Manly, Brisbane (Suite 5, 188 Stratton Terrace), and the firm is registered as a Pty Ltd in Queensland (ABN 81 625 435 592) with no disclosed parent company, external institutional investors, or private equity backing.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees, initiated by an onsite two-hour design consultation priced from A$495, followed by a design and fee proposal. The go-to-market motion is consultative and sales-led, combining onsite regional consultations, ZOOM-based remote consultations, content marketing (blog), social media presence on Instagram and Facebook, earned media via Google/YouTube features (Open Homes Australia), and recurring referral relationships with builders including Saunders Building Company and trade professionals such as interior designers and photographers. Pricing is proposal-based, with optional add-on services — interior design, external works design, project management, and commercial design — layered onto the base architectural engagement.
