Red Hill Terraces

This sophisticated Queenslander Renovation in Red Hill eloquently responds to a challenging sloping site with a design that establishes a harmonious connection between the existing dwelling and new additions. Working with the significant cross fall, Quorum Studios transformed potential constraints into design opportunities by creating a thoughtfully terraced series of living spaces that step down the gradient, allowing for distinct zones while maintaining cohesive flow.

The architecture embraces Queensland's subtropical climate with a generous outdoor entertaining deck that extends the main living area, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection enhanced by strategic glazing and natural cross-ventilation. The material palette combines contemporary weatherboard cladding in upper levels with masonry elements at the lower level, anchoring the home to its site while establishing a refined street presence. The project required careful navigation of site infrastructure, including submission of a Build Over Asset application due to the existing sewer network within the property. Carefully considered planning creates a delicate balance between open social spaces and private retreats, delivering a family home that feels both expansive and intimate despite the site's constraints.
