A senior technology executive has launched a new Brisbane development brand targeting a growing shortage of new luxury family houses across the city.
It comes as Place Advisory data reveals there are fewer than 200 stand-alone houses currently across Brisbane’s future residential pipeline.
Vidère at 84 Burn Street, Camp Hill is for sale with top offers closing July 1.
Värme Homes founder Steve Nichols is launching the business with a luxury residence, Vidère, at 84 Burn Street, Camp Hill, as demand intensifies for high-end family homes designed for functionality, liveability and understated luxury.

The latest Place Advisory analysis found Queensland dwelling approvals had surged 27.5 per cent year-on-year, while Brisbane house prices have climbed more than 72 per cent in five years and listings remain 50 per cent below normal levels.
Despite the construction boom, just 186 luxury stand-alone houses were currently planned across Brisbane.
Mr Nichols said the gap highlighted growing demand from affluent professionals and families seeking beautifully finished, move-in ready homes without the stress, uncertainty and time commitment of building themselves.

Drawing on decades designing customer-centred experiences in the technology sector, he said Värme Homes applied the same discipline to residential development, creating homes around the way people move through a space, make decisions, entertain, work, rest and live day to day.
“There are a lot of successful professionals and families who want a beautiful, high-quality home, but don’t necessarily want to spend two years managing architects, consultants, builders and endless decisions,” he said.
“For many buyers, luxury isn’t about excess.
“It’s about removing friction and having a home that feels intuitive, functional and genuinely enjoyable to live in.
“At the same time, Brisbane is running out of new detached family homes in blue-chip suburbs.”

Mr Nichols said Värme Homes was focused on creating homes designed for real life, balancing architectural quality with comfort, practicality and a strong sense of place.
The Camp Hill residence also marks the first collaboration between Steve and his sister Sarah Albury from Luxe Palm Designs, who worked alongside him on the interiors and design direction.
Place Camp Hill agent Julia Doyle said buyer demand for move-in ready luxury family homes remained exceptionally strong.
“We are seeing buyers compete incredibly hard for new, high-quality family homes because there simply aren’t enough of them,” she said.

“Many buyers love the idea of building, but the reality is they don’t have the time for a two-year project or the uncertainty that can come with construction.”
Vidère on Burn St combines modern coastal design with timeless, understated luxury, featuring warm natural materials, light-filled interiors and thoughtfully crafted spaces that balance elegance with everyday functionality.
Designed for the Queensland lifestyle, the home embraces seamless indoor- outdoor living, premium entertaining spaces and refined finishes that support both relaxed family living and effortless year-round entertaining.
