The success of our Kalinga house is the strength of the concept to move the existing house on the site; located on a quirky L shaped site, the repositioning of the existing Queenslander Cottage, reunited the house with its previously remote rear garden while creating separate and distinct outdoor rooms in the landscape around all edges.

Located in the inner north-east of Brisbane, Ascot is a diverse neighbourhood with a strong tradition of Queenslander architecture. The unique brief for this project called for the relocation of the original 1912 Ascotian Queenslander to allow for a tennis court to be tucked into the rear. Later, less considerate additions have been removed.
