Queenslander Architecture & Renovations
Queensland architecture is exemplified by charming “Queenslander” type homes that are found throughout the state. Although these homes were built during the 1920s and 1930s, they are greatly treasured today for their traditional beauty and homage to a bye-gone era. These quaint properties have a range of charming features, such as:
- deep, wide verandahs
- high ornate ceilings
- heritage detailing

The Architect Difference
There are many reasons why you may want to renovate, restore, or extend your magnificent Queenslander. Whatever the reason, remodelling your Queenslander will undoubtedly enhance your lifestyle in countless ways. What’s more, the improved aesthetic of a restored property will also benefit the surrounding neighbourhood.
Queenslander renovations require a residential architect who is familiar with the intricacies, heritage, and building design of these beautiful old gems. It is, therefore, important that you trust your plan to a passionate and experienced architect. That is to say, an architect who can truly complement your lifestyle through the renovation of your home.

Enhancing the Beauty
As with many of our clients, you may also feel the size of your home is too small to accommodate your lifestyle. There are, however, a multitude of solutions to this problem, for example:
- extending or raising the home,
- adding a contemporary extension,
- or blending the old with the new.
Our residential architects are highly experienced with Queenslander expansion projects and will help guide you through this process with intuition, sophistication, and an eye for conserving the traditional elements of the home.
What’s more, we understand all the regulations regarding character homes and have an intricate knowledge of their building materials and space/design. In other words, you will reap all the benefits of our experience.

Restoring the Glory
It takes an intuitive eye and expertise to restore the former glory of a magnificent Queenslander property while simultaneously embracing amenities of our modern lifestyle.
Lucky for you, our architects know exactly how to strike the perfect balance between modern and traditional living elements in our designs. That is to say, we will tastefully complement all the visible features of your Queenslander with today’s must-have inclusions. These include open-plan living areas, well-connected kitchens, and a blurring of the divide between indoor and outdoor living.

Queenslander Transformation
Unfortunately, renovations to Queenslanders over the years have typically resulted in a loss of eco-friendly features, closed-in spaces, and impractical functionality. Deep, wide verandahs are often closed in to create strange additional bedrooms with two separate entryways. Amenities within the home are also often disjointed. In reality, these ‘quick fixes’ are poorly planned and only create dysfunctional living spaces in the home. With the aid of an intuitive architect, on the other hand, you can significantly redefine and transform the space available within your old home.
