Toowong Home Renovation

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

This project involved the architectural design of a home renovation in Toowong, responding to the client’s concerns around heat, site levels, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor living.

Located on a sloping block with established trees, the design explores a multi-level solution that enhances thermal comfort and spatial connection, while retaining the traditional Queenslander character at the front of the home.

The project was developed through detailed design and visualisation to clearly communicate the proposed architectural outcome.

This project involved the architectural design of a residential renovation, addressing the client’s concerns about heat, site levels, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor living.

Located on a sloping block with established mature trees, the design explored a multi-level solution that enhances thermal comfort and spatial connection, while retaining the traditional Queenslander character to the front of the home. In contrast, the rear of the house adopts a more contemporary language, creating a considered transition between old and new.

The project progressed through full design development and detailed documentation, including interior design and landscape design, supported by comprehensive drawings and visualisations to clearly communicate the proposed architectural outcome. The design was developed through to the tender stage; however, the project did not proceed to construction following a change in the client’s circumstances.

This design has been recognised by the A’Design Awards, one of the world’s largest international design award programs.
