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.
Unfortunately, renovations to Queenslanders over the years have typically resulted in a loss of eco-friendly features, closed-in spaces, and impractical functionality.
