Inner City Townhouse Development located in Toowong, Brisbane This project is a successful example of medium density housing on an inner-city suburban block. The critical element informing the conceptual framework for the project was context, both the local context of the greater precinct and immediate context of the adjacent existing Queenslander onsite, which is reinterpreted not only in shape and proportion but also in inexperience. The three rear dwellings repeat this concept to form a set of ‘glued together’ houses. Being in a neighbourhood dominated by houses, this approach manages to retain the comforting scale for the individual and provides identity to each dwelling while still achieving homogeneity. Being a developer-driven project, the feasibility hinged on the addition of the fifth dwelling on a mere 760m2 site which in turn tipped the scale in favour of value over cost.

“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.”
