Toowong Home Renovation

Experience the home’s design in 3D with this video walkthrough.

The renovation of our Toowong home was inspired by the client’s frustration with leaves clogging their swimming pool and the intense heat experienced during the summer months. Nestled on a sloping block surrounded by mature trees, the design had to accommodate multi-level living whilst also was limited to preserve the large trees throughout the property.

Our approach emphasised enhancing the home’s thermal comfort whilst maintaining the classic Queenslander style at the front. In contrast, the rear of the house embraces a modern, contemporary style, creating a striking juxtaposition with the traditional design of the front of the home. The varied materials, including timber accents, harmoniously complement each other, resulting in a unique home that defies conventional themes.

Notable features include wooden battens that contrast beautifully with outdoor grey concrete-look tiles and a stunning stone fireplace, perfectly blending traditional and modern elements. The multi-level outdoor area seamlessly integrates an indoor-outdoor pool, water feature, a fireplace, a lounge area, an outdoor terrace, a lawn, and a vegetable garden.
