view house
Located high on a hill overlooking Brisbane city, the View House is an ambitious and bold extension to a pre-war cottage. Barely visible from the street, the extension captures the spectacular view from all three levels and in parts, from the cottage itself. The cottage has been meticulously restored, maintaining the period features whilst providing a hint of the contemporary behind.
The project was conceived to accommodate for a growing family. Broadly, the clients required more room and this was addressed by careful planning and reconfiguring of the existing spaces; turning a two-storey house to accommodate a third level. All levels retains and exploits the panoramic views to the expansive blue sky and the Brisbane CBD.
