PROJECTS

The artisanal sensibility of an owner-builder, a steeply sloping site and a desire for a tactile material palette set the direction for this refreshing addition to a humble Brisbane worker’s cottage.

From 1980s glam to calm minimalism, this Gold Coast apartment has been transformed into an understated home that suits its young family’s lifestyle.

An addition to an 1860s cottage, Highgate Park House allows passers-by a glimpse into the history of its Brisbane suburb while affording those who live there a home that is distinctly their own.

Motif, texture and concrete acrobatics unite in this sculptural new home, befitting its majestic escarpment setting on the precipice of Toowoomba’s Great Dividing Range.

A nuanced understanding of the Gold Coast’s colourful heritage, as well as its local quirks and character, is embedded in this neighbourly family home.

Preserving the qualities of one of the few remaining Queenslanders in a South Brisbane neighbourhood, this addition comprises screened outdoor rooms that mitigate the increasingly built-up surrounds.

Making a case for “right-sized” housing, three secondary dwelling designs illustrate how granny flats are being reinterpreted as site-responsive and sustainable spaces that alleviate contemporary demands on our suburbs.

Responding to its heritage context and inner-Brisbane neighbourhood, this addition to a historic weatherboard cottage captures vistas from new living spaces arranged around a landscaped courtyard.

Through inventive tectonics, Wilson Architects has overlaid a picturesque landscape experience with allusions to an earlier settler culture.

Composed as a series of concrete and masonry platforms, this rigorously executed home by Owen Architecture with Lineburg Wang maintains the pleasure of low -density living through a considered exploration of architecture and terrain.
