Residential Design Services on Hobart’s Eastern Shore

Custom home, extension, and renovation design across Bellerive, Howrah, Tranmere, Sorell, and the Tasman Peninsula.

At Willdesign, we offer experienced and flexible residential design services for homeowners and landowners across the Eastern Shore of Hobart and beyond.

From coastal sites in Tranmere, to elevated family homes in Howrah, to rural lifestyle blocks on the Tasman Peninsula, we’ve helped Tasmanians design homes that suit their land, lifestyle, and long-term vision — without the cookie-cutter approach.

We design for:

  • Bellerive

  • Howrah

  • Tranmere

  • Rokeby/Oakdowns

  • Lauderdale and the South Arm Peninsula

  • Sorell, Orielton, Midway Point and Dodges Ferry

  • Tasman Peninsula (Nubeena, White Beach, Eaglehawk Neck)

Custom Design That Suits Your Site

Whether you’re:

  • Planning a new home on a sloping or view-sensitive block

  • Extending an existing home to suit a growing family

  • Renovating an older property to open it up and modernise its layout

  • Designing a granny flat or secondary dwelling on a rural lot

…we can help turn your ideas into clear, council-ready, and buildable plans.

Designed with the Eastern Shore in Mind

Every site is different — and designing on the Eastern Shore often means:

  • Capturing water views while managing slope

  • Complying with coastal setback or scenic protection codes

  • Addressing bushfire overlays, tank water, or site access limitations

  • Working with Clarence and Sorell council expectations

With over 30 years in the industry and experience across a wide range of sites, we know how to balance aesthetics with practicality — so you don’t just get a beautiful design, but one that actually works for your block and budget.

Energy-Efficient & GreenSmart-Aligned

We’re proud to have been GreenSmart-accredited since 2012, and design every home with energy efficiency, solar access, and long-term performance in mind.

In fact, we were HIA Energy Efficiency Award finalists in 2013 and 2014 — recognition of our commitment to smart, sustainable Tasmanian homes.

Remote-Friendly, Stress-Free Design

While we’re based in Southern Tasmania, we often work with clients:

  • Remotely by phone, email, or video

  • Who are still planning or waiting on block titles

  • Who want to design first, build later

  • Who are working with their own builder or seeking tenders

We use have access to third party pricing to help estimate potential build costs from your design and keep your project aligned with your budget.
