The clients purchased a Queenslander in the Brisbane suburb of Graceville with a view to renovating and reconfiguring the property. We were engaged to facilitate this process. Through a series of meetings with the client we were able to derive new floor plans for the lower and upper floors, combining some small rooms downstairs to make more useful spaces and reassigning the functions of rooms upstairs to better suit the client’s needs. The client was keen for the interior to be simple and elegant to suit the graceful old house and this was achieved using a restrained palette of materials with simple and consistent detailing.
