Hello and welcome to our little corner of the internet. We are Lauren and Ryan – Builder and Interior Designer, husband and wife, parents to two energetic young kids and owners of RYLO Co. We are chalk and cheese, the yin to each others yang - put simply Lauren is the bespoke fabric to Ryans trusty tool belt!
We went from high school sweethearts to home renovators, bitten by the “Reno and flip” bug at the tender age of 20, and developed a serious love affair with re-imagining timber houses together. Fast forward to our wedding day in 2011 and Ryan scored some serious spouse points by surprising Lauren with a business name registration certificate for RYLO Co, the perfect blend of both first names, marking the official launch of our Build and Design business.
Sparks fly when Lauren’s fashion design and interiors expertise collides with Ryan’s carpentry and building skills. Over the past decade we have loved creating exciting spaces together. Warm, practical and functional spaces with killer layouts, coupled with relaxed, comfortable yet luxurious and inviting interiors that turn houses into homes with heart is totally our jam. RYLO Co’s aesthetic reflects both of us - traditional and timeless with a dash of playful contemporary - in fact our unique RYLO Co twist on the popular Hamptons look, celebrating our Queensland lifestyle and engaging colour pallets has created a new genre and one of our signature designs - ‘The Australian Classic” - We love it and we know you do too.
RYLO Co is the perfect one-stop-shop to your ideal home or commercial space - a seamless design and build service, from wild ideas to-turn key wows. Often we are asked to bring existing plans to life from residential to retail, restaurant and commercial fit outs - we love making the vision a reality.
Our passion for your projects fuels our energy - its endless - do we sleep? Not much! But we love that we get to dream up inspiring designs, builds and interiors for breakfast. Call us crazy, but we just like to dream a little bigger!
You too?

Our Team
Ryan Pearse - Builder
Ryan wasn’t always going to build. In fact, is Pop Doug begged him to do a building apprenticeship when he was young but he wouldn’t have a bar of it… When he was 20 after getting over yet another Goal Keeping injury it was decided that was the way he would go – who would have thought bad knees would get him where he is today!? If it’s not his loud singing or banter on the site that gives him away – it’s his 2 knee braces!!
Ry has a BIG love for timber houses. He LOVES being on the tools and always feels he’s had an awesome day if he’s been able to swing his hammer or pull out the demo saw! As a boy Ryan didn’t stop moving, playing sport every waking hour… and still to this day if you ever get to witness him on site, he’s like a frog in a sock. The man works hard and if you receive an email from him at midnight – it’s not a rare occurrence!!
When he’s not working on other people’s homes, he’s generally working on his own. Having just finished the family home after 5 years of renovating Ry is looking forward to the next project.
Lauren Pearse - Designer
Growing up Lauren moved house 10 times. That’s 10 bedrooms she designed, re designed and designed again before the age of 18. Renovating was a big part of her younger years and shopping for lighting and tiles, choosing paint colours and playing with floor plans with her mum was a constant. Safe to say the seed was planted and her love of design grew from there.
Fast forward a few years and Lauren’s longing for colourful classic interiors resulted in the the start of a small retail store – Rylo Interiors. Creating a small space in East Brisbane for people to purchase divine homewares that were curated to create a happy home.
Surrounding herself with the most incredible team Rylo Co has evolved into one of Brisbane’s most sort after design and build teams. Light filled homes, with clean lines, pops of colour and quirky elements create family homes that can easily be distinguished as Rylo Reno’s.
