Located in Paddington, Fernberg is a reimagining of a traditional Queenslander cottage for contemporary family living. Set within Brisbane’s inner city, the project carefully balances character retention with modern functionality.

The lower level has been opened to create a generous living, dining, and kitchen zone that flows directly to the outdoor entertaining area and backyard. Large openings and layered thresholds strengthen the connection between inside and out, embracing Brisbane’s subtropical lifestyle and encouraging natural light and ventilation.

Upstairs, all bedrooms are arranged as a private retreat, maintaining the charm and proportions of the original cottage while providing improved amenity and comfort. The result is a thoughtful renovation that honours the character of the Queenslander while delivering a home tailored to modern life in Paddington.
