Located in Bardon, this residence reinterprets the traditional Queenslander with a refined, contemporary approach. Rather than replicate the past, the design evolves it — grounded, generous and responsive to Brisbane’s subtropical climate.

A stone-clad lower level anchors the home to the earth, giving permanence and strength to its base. Above, the upper level adopts a lighter expression with deep overhangs, filtered openings and breezeways that create an open, airy quality throughout the living spaces.

The lower ground floor forms the heart of the home, with expansive living areas flowing seamlessly to outdoor terraces and garden. Natural materials — stone and timber — provide warmth and texture while enhancing thermal comfort.

Bedrooms are located on the upper level and arranged around a central internal courtyard. This courtyard brings light, ventilation and greenery into the core of the plan, giving each room a calm, private outlook.

The result is an understated and enduring home — a contemporary evolution of the Queenslander, thoughtfully anchored to its Bardon setting.
