There is a beautiful sense of release as this New Farm home opens around you. Breezes move through intersecting pavilions, gardens draw your eye beyond the glass, and a soaring vaulted void lifts the gaze 5.5 metres overhead. Transformed by Mylne Build and DAH Architecture, the c.1930s pre-war residence has been reimagined for Queensland living, with landscaping by Green Care Project woven into every experience.
Slide back the doors and the interiors seem to melt into the alfresco spaces. Sunlight shifts across concrete, brick and natural stone, European oak brings warmth underfoot, and greenery remains in view as you move from room to room. Designed to encourage passive cross-ventilation, the home welcomes the elements while offering sheltered places to pause. For all its architectural presence, it feels wonderfully easy to live in, with low-maintenance spaces that leave more of the day yours to enjoy.
Life gathers around the kitchen, where swathes of Italian marble anchor the living and dining spaces. Friends settle nearby as dinner takes shape, a bottle is chosen from the cellar, and conversation follows you onto the arboured terrace. Fire up the BBQ, linger over a meal and watch the children move between the lawn and heated pool.
Upstairs, the lounge offers a quieter place to unwind, with a study for work or reading away from the gathering below. Five bedrooms give family and guests room to retreat, with wool carpet adding softness to the private spaces. In the primary suite, views across the void let you experience the scale of the architecture from another perspective. Move through the walk-in robe to the ensuite, where daylight falls through a skylight over the double shower.
Beyond the garden, New Farm's village and riverside life are close at hand. Walk 250m to Merthyr Village for coffee and groceries, or 350m to New Farm Park for time beneath the trees, weekends at the markets and performances at Brisbane Powerhouse. James Street, Teneriffe, and Howard Smith Wharves are within 1.5km, schools are close, and the CBD is just 2km away by bus, CityCat, or a scenic walk or cycle along the Riverwalk.
