The brief

The owners want a brighter, better-connected home that suits modern family life, without losing the period character that makes their Paddington Queenslander special.

Planning & site constraints

Paddington's pre-1946 streets commonly sit within Brisbane's Traditional Building Character Overlay, where the original street-facing form is protected and demolition is tightly controlled — so changes are focused at the rear and underside rather than the facade.

Our design response

Our design retains and repairs the character frontage while reworking the rear and lower level for open-plan living, improved natural light and a stronger connection to the outdoors — a sympathetic Queenslander renovation and build-under approach.

Outcome

Currently in design, progressing towards planning and building approval.

We design homes to be more than spaces - they are created for you to live in and truly enjoy.
