Reflective of the traditional Queensland workers cottage, this Brisbane development project combined traditional materials within a modern design framework. Tim Stewart Architects designed with 5-bedroom home to capture the north-easterly aspect with a large outdoor entertaining room, cleverly shaded by a blockwork screen.

The home combines white weatherboard cladding, complete with traditional battens, concrete, timber features and brick in a neutral pallet, offset with black aluminium windows, doors and HH600 Heka Hoods wrapping around the top level.

Positioning the hoods above the windows ensures that the interior is shaded from the northern sun in winter without relying on unsightly eaves which would have impacted the design intent of the project. The result is a modern home that is comfortable in both the summer and winter months.
