New family home in a steep block located in Bardon, Brisbane, QLD The house is designed to maximise flexibility for a grown family with great access to sunlight and a myriad of spaces for gathering or private reflection. Nestled amongst the natural beauty of Bardon and offering city views from the front, this distinctive home has been designed to accommodate the lay of the land. The structure terraces down the steeply sloping site, minimising the visual impact on the neighbours and streetscape. The nature of the site and the need for sunlight dictated essentially two houses linked through a western hallway, separated by an east-facing courtyard and the program for the house adapted to this separation with the “front” house containing adult kids and home offices, with the “rear” house dedicated to the main living areas, parents’ bedroom and the lap pool and recreation areas. This separation allows for orientation to both city and bush views with a central protected courtyard for living. The house is designed to maximise flexibility for a grown family with great access to sunlight and a myriad of spaces for gathering or private reflection. Photography: Scott Burrows

“We worked with Bespoke Constructions over an 18month period, from initial planning to the completion of what was and still is our “dream home.” While a complicated renovation, with the re-positioning of the pool and the complete refurbishment of an ancient tennis court, the team were able to adjust and adapt while making sure their attention to the actual house (an old Queenslander) was their priority. Bill and his team were responsive to our concerns, explained all parts of the build-in detail and worked seamlessly with our architects. A renovation this size was never going to be “easy”, but we knew that the Bespoke team had as much invested in building our home as we did, maybe not financially but certainly in their work ethic, honesty, and attention to detail. Two years down the track I still am in awe of how beautiful the house is and I would recommend them to anyone considering a renovation in a heartbeat.”
