The Brief

What the owners needed.

The owners didn't want to move, but they had outgrown a small 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Queenslander and needed a lot more space.

Raising the house, building in underneath and extending out the back gave them that room without leaving. They wanted to be confident it would finish on budget, on time and according to their plans.

What We Did

The work, start to finish.

  • Raised and restumped the house
  • Poured a new concrete slab underneath
  • Built in the lower level and extended out the back
  • Replaced every window and door with custom-made timber joinery
  • Built custom cabinetry for the kitchen, laundry and walk-through wardrobe
  • Replaced the original VJ walls and ceilings with plasterboard
  • Laid new timber floors on both levels
  • Added a feature mono-stringer staircase with spotted gum treads
