Annerley
Lifting and extending a Queenslander cottage to create a new Kitchen/Dining Extension and Rear Deck, plus Ground Floor Entertaining, Music Room, and Master Retreat.
Bris•tol = Brisbane + Bristol - two cities meaningful to our wonderful clients.
It’s been a real joy for us to work on this interesting character home in the heart of Annerley. With a leafy rear yard and views of an adjacent school oval, we wanted to create a modest, understated home for our clients and their family.
The extension plays with familiar forms and the idea of “timber and tin” - quintenssentially Australian materials that are modest, yet hardy and suitable for our climatic context. We referenced motifs within the existing home - with its white-and-bright-blue colour schemes and square-tiled existing bathroom, and played on those characteristics with dashes of blue in the new interior.
Ground Floor contains a new Rumpus and Master Retreat area - the idea that the parents enjoy an immediate connection to the garden, resting in the shadows at the end of the day. Upstairs sees a new Kitchen and Dining Room with generous rear deck - more connected with the canopy and the views, and a bright place for family gathering. Throughout the home we have kept a modesty of scale, with right-sized spaces that speak with the original home.
There is also a sound-proofed Drum Studio, and a feature stained glass window at the entry with a personalised design of Bristol by our own Georgina.
The end result is a home that is simple, immediately connected to the lush rear garden, and setup for family enjoyment. We love that our clients have a tradition that every room has a particular place or city as its theme - what a brilliant idea to make a home unique, personal, and playful!

About the
Professional
We are a vibrant, creative and passionate architectural practice based in Brisbane, Australia.
First established in 2016, we see ourselves as the next link, inspired by - and walking in the footsteps of - generous, creative and selfless architects who have practiced before us.
Architects who may not necessarily be esteemed or celebrated, who may or may not be exhibited or featured in coffee table books,
but in pursuing great design they have quietly, unassumingly touched countless lives in their craft and service.
We are intentional and counter-cultural in our work - in how we serve our clients, in how we relate as a team, how we advocate for those in need, and how we gauge our success.
We are not satisfied with the status quo. We don’t need our name up in lights.
Our buildings are a physical outcome of our passion - to see people live well, to come home to an environment of peace and rest,
and thus empowered to demonstrate generous hospitality.
