Henriette Werner

I am a QBCC-licensed Building Designer specialising in residential dwellings. Since establishing my business in 2012, I have successfully completed hundreds of projects across Queensland, earning multiple industry awards in recognition of design excellence.

My formal qualifications include a Bachelor of Interior Design and a Diploma of Building Design, and I am always striving to broaden my skills, technical expertise and creative juices. I have designed and built five houses for myself, so rest assured, what I design is buildable.

Originally from Denmark, I have lived in Australia (via Canada) for almost three decades, bringing with me a diverse international perspective shaped by time spent in Scandinavia and Canada.

My practice is grounded in the belief that well-designed homes play a vital role in fostering security, comfort, and belonging. This philosophy drives my commitment to creating spaces that are not only functional but also enhance the lives of those who live in them.

It is a privilege to contribute to the design and delivery of homes across our State—spaces that support individuals, families, and communities for years to come.
