We remember fondly when something simple like windows focused on ventilation and light, and being framed in timber. And the glass from those days of style actually gleamed, dimpled and sparkled. They catch breezes as well as the eye, and often adorn the more decorative and affluent homes in our
region.
When speaking of form, it is all about capturing the style and grace from a unique and wonderful time. Homes were often not just built. More so, they were dignified and regal, blessing us with highly-regarded quality craftsmanship.
This quality home offers a condensed ‘snapshot’ of incredible history. The humble Queenslander was a fusion of stylish influence within a harsh environment. Homes here were found to be wonderful when raised from the ground. This was to avoid high temperature, flooding and very scary critters. This satisfaction opened the design to promote more space, with unique facets as well as high ceilings. Then at some stage (probably after the invention of insect coils), there were large verandas added to the mix.
Now, back to looking at your new home. Certainly, airflow and moisture control are real benefits of being high up. We know these homes can breathe, unlike the less joyful boxes of humidity that some of us have experienced. And the genius of that wide veranda you can now accept luxuriously. These epic Queensland traits were actually an attempt to keep sunlight from hitting rooms further inside the home. And now … well, we all love them, to say the least. If you take a drive around Brisbane, there are more people sitting on the verandas of Queenslanders than on any apartment decks.
Here, however, there is more than a combination of what we hold dear to our South-Eastern hearts. Your new home has been enriched by uniqueness and laced with precision and style. The details are many, but the top of the list would be the classic wooden flooring, amazing ceilings, Chandelier lighting, and even a rose window that catches the sun sometimes. A sun that has been tamed, and told how to behave.
Your charming veranda has some retractable blinds for privacy, still allowing the distinct charm to flow. Bedrooms are roomy, airy and inviting. The bathroom is delightful and elegant. Entertainment and dining spaces also cater to sophistication and culture. The kitchen is lavish with a classic style combining modern aspects like a top-shelf gas oven and cooktop.
