Leicester House banner

The Leicester House renovation involves giving some love to a neglected, Federation-period bungalow in Brisbane.

Its serious character is restored at the front, while its more playful side is revealed inside and out back.

A series of apertures frames views between spaces and floors, and helps provide definition and organisation to a hard-working floor plan.

Spaces visually borrow from each other creating a generous layout with an absolute connection to its north-east facing garden setting.

Location: Turrbal Country.

Status: Completed 2021.

Photography: Andy Macpherson Studio.

Project Team: Justin Humphrey, Sam Merrett & Lauren Smith.

About the
Professional

We are a transparent architecture practice aimed at crafting sculptural solutions that strengthen the connection between people and the land on which they live.

We like to engage clients in all stages of the design process and be open about our design thinking. This tends to achieve a project direction that all parties are excited about and feel they have ownership of.

Our rigorous testing and design process results in strong solutions that are both highly functional and beautiful. We prefer warm, honest & tactile materials and always strive to create a strong connection with the landscape context of our projects. It is also important for us to design in consideration with local built form and history. This produces rich projects that are very much part of their place.

We’re Registered Architects in QLD & NSW. We welcome all enquiries, no matter where you are.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
