Sustainable Infill Terrace House Development is located in Norman Park, Brisbane, Queensland. Longfellow Terraces are an example of what the often-discussed “Missing Middle” could look like in Brisbane - a sustainable infill-development for sensitive densification of inner-city suburbs. Inserting additional dwellings into existing infrastructure allows more people to enjoy the qualities of these precincts rather than adding to the urban sprawl. Inspired by the way in which ancient people used to live under trees for protection from the elements, the design genuinely connects the entire living floor to the landscape by providing sheltered and unobstructed spaces that are truly in touch with nature. The spatial arrangement of the project takes queues of the functionality of “Sydney Terrace Houses”. Three storey dwellings use the sloping land to fully conceal garages and driveway thus avoiding ground floor domination by garage doors. Instead, the houses feature entry sequences similar to traditional ‘Queenslanders’ with the arrival of visitors at landscaped front yards, stairs and verandas. Photography by Andy Mcpherson

“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.”
