A wall of iroko cladding in the hall mirrors the iroko cladding used for the exterior of the building. It also serves the purpose of concealing the entrance to a guest cloakroom. A matte finish, bespoke designed terrazzo style poured resin floor continues from this area into the living spaces. With a background of pale agate grey, flecked with soft brown, black and chalky white it compliments the chestnut tones in the exterior iroko overhangs.

Inspired by the luxurious hotels of Europe, we were inspired to keep the palette monochrome. but all the elements have strong lines that all work together to give a sense of drama. The amazing black and white geometric tiles take centre stage and greet everyone coming into this incredible double-fronted Victorian house. This image is a peek into the newly designed and expansive kitchen, living, and dining area, which is entered via double-width stairs down into the new space.

The image shows how the large fitted bookcase has been designed to fit between the wooden beams and has halogen down lights in the overhanging cornice. The ladder is removable and hooks on to the stainless steel custom made rail, it can also slide on the rail so that it can be left hanging when not in use.

Inspired by the luxurious hotels of Europe, we were inspired to keep the palette monochrome. but all the elements have strong lines that all work together to give a sense of drama. The amazing black and white geometric tiles take centre stage and greet everyone coming into this incredible double-fronted Victorian house. The console table is almost like a sculpture, holding the space alongside the very simple decorative elements. The simple pendants continue the black and white colour palette.

A side return extension was added to connect to the newly constructed extension. A small guest toilet was included, and the skylights create a feeling of openness and brightness. The warm colours contribute to the cosiness of this spacious passage.

The hallway is about 15 meters long, filled with antique clocks and furniture.

The entrance hall of this New England & Cape Cod–inspired home by Studio212 Ltd has been designed as both a welcoming statement and a highly practical circulation space. A bespoke wine storage unit is neatly integrated beneath the staircase, combining display with discreet cabinetry. To the right, a generous wardrobe provides everyday storage, while a dedicated home office and cloakroom are also accessed from this space. Natural timber-effect flooring runs throughout, grounding the hall in warmth and durability. The staircase features a light runner edged in black, with contemporary black balusters and an oak handrail, drawing the eye upward while keeping the space bright. With a 2.60 m ceiling height, the hall feels airy and proportionate, enhancing the view through to the dining area and garden framed by double doors.

Arbour House, located on the Bulimba Reach of the Brisbane River, is a study in siting and intricate articulation to yield views and landscape connections . The long thin 13 meter wide site is located between two key public spaces, namely an established historic arbour of fig trees and a public riverfront boardwalk. The site which once formed part of the surrounding multi-residential enclave is now distinquished by a new single detached dwelling. Unlike other riverfront houses, the new dwelling is sited a respectful distance from the rivers edge, preserving an 80 year old Poincianna tree and historic public views from the boardwalk of the adjoining heritage listed dwelling. The large setback creates a platform for a private garden under the shade of the canopy of the Poincianna tree. The level of the platform and the height of the Poincianna tree and the Arbour established the two datums for the setout of public and private spaces of the dwelling. The public riverfront living levels are adjacent to this space whilst the rear living spaces are elevated above the garage to look into the canopy of the Arbour. The private bedroom spaces of the upper level are raised to a height to afford views of the tree canopy and river yet privacy from the public river boardwalk. The dwelling adopts a courtyard typology with two pavilions linked by a large double height stairwell and external courtyard. The form is conceptualised as an object carved from a solid volume of the allowable building area with the courtyard providing a protective volume from which to cross ventilate each of the spaces of the house and to allow the different spaces of the house connection but also discrete and subtle separation – the family home as a village.
