Background and Approach
Studio HR is a design-led residential studio based in Noosa.
Guided by architectural restraint, spaces are shaped through materiality, light, and lived experience. Each project responds carefully to its context and the people who inhabit it. Through careful planning, technical rigour, and close collaboration, these principles are translated into purposeful, enduring homes deeply connected to their environment.
The studio is led by Hosanna Rodrigues, a registered architect in Brazil with over 25 years of international experience. With a Bachelor of Architecture and a PhD in Engineering, Hosanna brings a rare balance of technical mastery and refined aesthetic vision to the Australian landscape.
Based in Australia since 2019, she has worked with established local architecture studios and brings a thoughtful balance of design and technical expertise to each project.
