A raise and build under renovation to an existing Queenslander, designed to minimise the extent of the extension required. We utilised the floor area under the existing house as much as possible, in turn preserving the limited yard space and limiting the extent of roofing required to be built. The classic, simple and clean aesthetic is a subtle background to detailing which nods to the character features in the original 1930's home. The rear living space fully opens up to the outdoors, a modern interpretation of the quintessential 'deck', where most Queensland living takes place.
