Demonstrating a consciousness of and respect for the timeless Queensland workers cottage, this striking contemporary conversion presents itself as a house that sits at the forefront of modern living whilst maintaining respect to the past. 114 Browne Street has been directed by its architect Shaun Lockyer to use modern-day design and building techniques to create something more than just a house.

What is apparent when you enter this striking home is the clear attention to detail and raw opulence. Spotted gum floors, travertine tiling and polished Calcutta marble slab set the standard for what is a home that incorporates dark masculine tones and complete connectivity with the natural world through a clever use of voids and clear space.

It is this use of space and modernist design elements that makes this house so unique, an outdoor room separated by 6 metre sliders and bi-folds creates discrete spatial connections between inside and outside; which is the common theme of the house….a unity of living experience.

This fluidity of space and light throughout the home enables its occupants to focus on peaceful modern living, a clear indication of an intellectual grasp of modern design. This high end standard of living continues as you walk up the stairs and immerse yourself in a house that has not compromised practical living for design prowess. With three bedrooms, office and multiple living areas this house is in sync with everything that the modern family would need and more.

This expansive home comprises many features including: commercial grade Joinery, double garaging, separate laundry/drying court, fully ducted air conditioning and a sparkling in-ground pool.

Located on Teneriffe Hill this elevated house captures unadulterated green space and city glimpses at the rear. With the perfect formula of 325m2 (approx) of formal, informal and outdoor living spaces, 114 Browne Street is a home that rarely presents itself. Having received recent attention from recognised architecture publications do yourself the favour, inspect and celebrate a triumph of classic contemporary conversion all in Brisbane’s most desired suburb New Farm.
