Shaun Lockyer Architects | Highgate Hill House

This project involved significant alterations and additions to a turn of the century cottage sitting high up above Brisbane City on a corner small lot site in the suburb of Highgate Hill. The house is well set back from the corner of the block affording a private and open garden courtyard and pool area from where one can enjoy city views. The house itself enjoys a progressive and overt contemporary “sleaving” of the new through the old.

The finishes which consisted mostly of Blackbutt and Travertine offer a beautifully crafted and contemporary feel to the otherwise complex and quite unpredictable floor plan. The inclusion of rich Calcutta stone in the kitchen and ensuite finish off a luxurious and highly detailed sequence of intimate spaces. The house was completed in January 2012.
