Bulimba Hill House

Perched on the hillside in Bulimba, this historic Queenslander was revived and modernised to accommodate a growing family on their return from Sydney to their hometown of Brisbane. Timber, art and plants were the top three non-negotiables. Beautiful, usable family spaces the cornerstone of the client’s brief. “There was a clear desire to create a home that wasn’t too perfect. The owners wanted it to feel somewhat wild, rambling and lived-in” There was a strong desire to restore the original character of the home and build on it with contemporary features suitable to modern living. As a family home, a palette of low maintenance and robust finishes encases the interior while connecting to the original timber-clad features of the Queenslander style. “Warmth and texture are then expressed through timber and colour, with green highlighted to connect to the surrounding natural landscape”. Bulimba Hill House combines and celebrates the existing character of its heritage bones. The design extends the home’s relevance by infusing the unique charm of its current owners.
