Set in the leafy inner-city suburb of Ashgrove, this striking project takes a character-listed brick home and reimagines it with a bold, ultra-modern rear addition. The result is a seamless blend of tradition and innovation—where original charm meets contemporary sustainability and design excellence.
At the heart of the transformation is a dramatic mono stringer staircase, connecting the split-level layout and creating a striking visual moment within the space. The home flows effortlessly from the elevated living areas to a large entertainer’s deck, perfectly paired with a strategically positioned pool for year-round enjoyment.
With high ceilings and expansive glazing, the new rear pod is flooded with natural light and delivers a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, a generously scaled master bedroom offers a private retreat, combining comfort with minimalist design.
The modern carport and black feature cladding boldly contrast the home’s original brickwork, creating a unique streetscape presence. The sleek black box at the rear not only makes a design statement but also houses practical, well-considered spaces that support the needs of a growing family.
This is a home that celebrates contrast—old and new, texture and tone—crafted with precision in one of Brisbane’s most beloved suburbs.
