Encapsulating the unique essence of Brisbane, 'Argilla' pays tribute to the city's rich history while embracing an evolving contemporary landscape. Recently completed, this truly one-of-a-kind property blends the grounded simplicity of a terrace house with the romanticism of a villa to transcend geographical boundaries.
Renowned Australian designer Rowena Cornwell of Coop Creative has created a legacy home beyond fashion and trends, where gravitas and enduring presence are established by solid interiors and finishes. Significant restoration work has respectfully restored the original 19th-century New Farm cottage, returning it to Brisbane's early built form with a sensitive link to a significant contemporary extension.
The charming brick heritage cottage can serve business or accommodation purposes, with a flexible two-room layout and private entrance. Currently used as a design studio, it is equally adaptable as a caretaker's residence or for teenagers and extended family.
Reminiscent of an intimate luxury hotel, the lower level of the new modern house embraces a private courtyard spanning the full width of the property. There are two bedrooms on this level, including a master suite basking in natural light streaming in through French doors. Beyond the fireplace is an ensuite with a standalone bathtub, double-sink vanity, dressing table, separate shower and toilet, and a vast volume of storage within bespoke cabinetry. A nearby laundry and full bathroom reinforce the focus on functionality in line with aesthetics.
Blackbutt timber stairs, deliberately contrasting with burnished concrete walls, lead to the day-to-day living and dining spaces, moving out onto a full-width balcony with a view across a historic inner-city roofline to the towering CBD. The kitchen is a considered space, paying homage to the designer's childhood while remaining contemporary in both size and scale. A lofty pitched roof adds classic farmhouse-style elegance.
The rooftop terrace on a summer's night is a delightful setting, and an inspired inclusion for the future custodians of this property to enjoy. Framed in glass and featuring a BBQ kitchen, this is blue-chip entertaining to a backdrop of urban Brisbane life.
