Tucked away in a leafy cul-de-sac, this Indooroopilly residence was transformed internally, to provide space for large extended family gatherings, entertaining friends, and accommodating regular visitors from overseas. A new front entrance and internal stair provide a welcoming arrival point to the home for guests.

The existing “new” Queenslander style house was modified internally to accommodate larger living, dining and kitchen areas, and a better connection to the rear garden. A new extension houses a private retreat for the owners, with a separate meditation room, and a leafy outlook.

The new structure connects to the existing home at the eastern end of a long plan, via a small meditation space, which forms the link between the existing and new parts of the house.
