A modern refurbishment of a grand Queenslander home in East Brisbane, completed in 2023, featuring a side extension for enhanced family living and innovative design elements that blend functionality with outdoor entertaining.
It is an already large home on a very large site in East Brisbane. This home required us to rework poorly constructed elements and bring the grand home up to a more prestigious standard. To accommodate a large family we inserted 2 significant components. A side extension to accommodate 4 cars, a master suite and a side rooftop planter for the pool area. The rooftop planter allowed for sun protection and outdoor entertaining near the pool and access to landscape elements in the second-level main living areas.
Concept: at SMA, we were excited to refurbish a classic Queenslander House. The raised structure and verandas allowed us to transform the undercroft space into a functional living area that connected with the upper levels. However, privacy and natural light posed challenges due to the neighboring houses. With careful design and innovative materials, we created a beautiful undercroft that met our client's needs while preserving the house's charm.
