Brisbane post-war home renovation
Greenslopes House
Project Type: Alterations & Additions
Completion Date: 2021
Builder: Dirsell Constructions
A new addition coupled with some key internal remodelling, Greenslopes House was designed to imbed a greater sense of light and volume into a modest, post-war family home.
The Owners and their two young children needed a re-imagined living space that better suited the requirements of a growing family and changing lifestyle. Lack of daylighting, airflow, and minimal opportunities for outdoor living were also problematic in the old house.
The new house design saw an opportunity to re-organise the interior, grouping bedrooms to one side of the house and living space on the other. This strategy allowed for a hierarchy and progression of spaces from the small, quaint, original entry to the new, more voluminous living zone at the back. The a-framed form of the extension, which transitioned out from the typical hipped-roof arrangement, provided a dynamic and spacious area fit to accommodate the everyday activities and contemplations of family life.
