Our story
Since the dawn of Paul Clout Design 40 years ago, we’ve grown from a family business to award-winning luxury home designers. We’re passionate about creating more than a space. It’s an experience, an escape, a place of sensory connections and perfect balance. It’s a lifestyle and we make sure it’s remarkable.
Now in the second generation of the Clout family, ‘lifestyle design’ is our signature and we take inspiration from Asian and South Pacific design as well as our beautiful tropical Queensland. Modernist influences and natural elements come together to evoke relaxation, comfort, wellbeing, and calm.
To meet the demand for upmarket residences across the Sunshine Coast, we launched Clout Build as a separate business in 2009. Operating as two sides of the same coin, we deliver a seamless experience from design all the way through to construction.
Our Approach
Respect
We respect your vision and your time. Our team listen to your ideas and communicate clearly to create a home that reflects your vision, style, and desired lifestyle.
Simplicity
With design and building expertise, we simplify your journey. Our designers and project managers are agile, solving challenges quickly and evolving effortlessly, even once construction starts.
From design to build
We make the transition to construction easy. Our team oversee the build, as well as having an unsurpassed network of specialist suppliers and contractors.
The Clout Difference
A rich legacy
We have long history in design and construction, as well as our own passion projects that allow us to push boundaries to open new possibilities. This expertise elevates every residence.
High-end focus
We do one thing, and we do it well. Our clear focus on high-end properties provides unrivalled quality, precision, and simplicity.
Client first
Luxury is the signature of the residences we create. And we also believe in the luxury of a positive process—where you are always informed and your schedule is always on track.
