If you’re looking to renovate a post-war (1940’s – 1960’s) style home in Brisbane, then we strongly recommend you consider using an architect. Houses built during this period tended to be on the ‘conservative side’. This means that their design approaches largely prioritised practicality over aesthetics. These houses are, however, not without potential as you can see from the images in our Post War Home Gallery.

Post war to 2000’s homes tend to have ‘good bones’, which is a great base to start when renovating. Many of these homes include quality materials including copper pipes or quality timber, which have great potential. Original owners of these homes often did much of the work themselves. Therefore, the designs tended to be basic both in terms of function and form. We wish to transform these homes from the past, and focus on designing for your future lifestyle.
