This comprehensive renovation breathes new life into a traditional Queensland character home while respecting its architectural heritage. The transformation carefully preserves the home's distinctive street presence while dramatically expanding and enhancing the living spaces to create a contemporary family residence that honours its past.


The design features crisp white weatherboard cladding, a refined front verandah with traditional detailing, and classic gabled roof forms that reference Queensland's architectural vernacular. Inside, soaring raked ceilings, abundant natural light, and a sophisticated neutral palette create bright, airy spaces that flow seamlessly to outdoor entertaining areas. Thoughtful joinery elements throughout provide practical storage while adding architectural interest, resulting in a home that balances heritage charm with modern family living.

We had the privilege of working with Manny recently and are absolutely thrilled with the results. Manny’s commitment to excellence shone through every step of the process. He asked insightful questions and incorporated our preferences seamlessly into the design. Communication was effortless throughout the process. Manny was not only responsive but also proactive in keeping us updated, which greatly alleviated any potential stress that can come with such projects. Regular updates, clear explanations of design choices, and a genuine enthusiasm for our project made us feel like a valued collaborator rather than just a client. It's evident that Quorum Studios truly cares about the projects they undertake and the satisfaction of their clients. One of the most impressive aspects of their work was the ability to blend aesthetics with functionality. The final design not only exceeded our expectations in terms of visual appeal but also maximized the use of space and incorporated innovative solutions which improved upon our initial concepts. Manny also provided renders that were nothing short of exceptional. In summary, I cannot recommend Quorum Studios enough. Their passion, expertise, and dedication are unmatched in the industry. Manny’s work has left an indelible mark on our project, and we are incredibly grateful. We very much look forward to collaborating with Quorum Studios on future projects.
