#maytree_bobthebuilding by @allen_brothers_construction is flying with handover expected in the next few weeks. Loving seeing these deliberate openings and windows framing views and drawing our bright south-east Queensland light into the home in special ways. Over the next few weeks Bob and three other projects reach completion AND four more have started on site. We are stoked to see our clients reach these important milestones and enjoy a fluid, well planned building process. Check out our stories in the next few days to see our clients AMAZING colours that grace Bob’s interior ❤️ @jackgibson.photo #brisbanearchitect #queenslandarchitecture #brisbanehomes #buildsmallbuildwell

Pretty special to see both Goldilocks Haus and Tighty Whitey receive commendations at the 2026 Australian Institute of Architects Brisbane Greater Region Awards 2026 in the Residential Alterations & Additions categories. Big thanks to the juries for the recognition, and to our clients - Hayley, Mark, Rob & Emma - for trusting the process and builders - @reddogcon & @petro_builders - for bringing these projects together so thoughtfully. We’re really grateful to be making homes with people who care deeply about good design, detail and how spaces feel to live in every day. Thanks @institute_architects_qld for your advocacy for good design in our state! #BrisbaneArchitecture #ResidentialArchitecture #AlterationsAndAdditions #QueenslandArchitecture #AustralianArchitecture

A massive shout out to @abigaillee_bg who after 5 amazing years with us has moved to Copenhagen! Abby we wanted to say a HUGE public thank you for all the expertise, friendship, learning and laughs we’ve shared with you over the years. Our clients and projects have benefited from your amazing communication skills. Alongside being a RAD employee, Abby gave lots of time and energy to the @emagn_qld committee. As Andy said in our referral letter, watching Abby’s growth from one day a week with us to a full time, registered architect has been one of the great privileges of our career! Good luck Abby & Kelton!

When Interior Designer Hayley & husband Mark approached us to do a small extension to their late 70’s home, it was love at first sight. This large, brick home had one previous owner and was designed by architect G Eric Parups - we knew we didn’t need to change much because a well designed home stands the test of time! One new opening to improve flow, insert a new ceiling beam and add a garden room that is dining, reading nook, and social heart of the home all at once. A bold new red extension compliments and contrasts to the original brick and the form of the addition is drawn from the original folded roofs typical of this era.

A playful void sits where an A frame attic previously constricted living spaces and connection to yard. Now a light filled kitchen with a deciduous vine externally that provides shade in summer and sun to a previously dark interior in winter.

Perimeter House is a new build in Moffat Beach, QLD. It’s a home that is sympathetic in material and scale to the traditional beach shack. The upper level perimeter wall organises views inwards to a private courtyard while high windows to the north capture views of the eucalyptus across the road. A deliberately open frontage remembers our beachside streets that were about knowing your neighbours and being truly immersed in your surrounds.

When our clients begin the design process with us, we ask them to rank a set of values. For Honi, ‘Level of Finish’ trumped ‘Floor Area’ and ‘Sticking to my Budget’ trumped them all. So on this site impacted by potential overland flow, in a neighbourhood of increasingly large white McMansions (we see you Camp Hill), we proposed a rework of the cottage and a small extension housing living room and kitchen that steps down into her beloved garden. The original cottage exterior was left unchanged to save money, and only the smallest cue can be seen from the street of the party going on out the back. @my_camp_hill_cottage_reno is one of those projects where the client demonstrates trust and a bit of hustle to achieve her dream without compromising those values of sticking to a budget and achieving a lovely level of finish.

For Ben & Taryn’s generational family home we proposed one single, strategic architectural move — the removal of the rear A-frame roof and attic to create a double-height void — to unlock light, volume and connection. Rather than building outward, the interior was reshaped to resolve circulation, bedroom size and spatial compression simultaneously. Standing seam zinc cladding contrasts with the 70 year old brick home and sharp new awnings replaced dated window coverings. The best thing about this project? From the street, this much beloved home in the neighbourhood has barely changed keeping its ‘fairytale’ like appeal to the passersby.

Three months from completion and this one already feels special. When friends cautiously ask our clients how the build is going — expecting the usual horror stories — they’ve been able to say it’s been genuinely enjoyable. That’s always the goal. Thoughtfully designed spaces are only part of the outcome. The experience of getting there matters just as much. Huge credit to @allen_brothers_construction for the care, clarity and collaboration that’s made this process such a positive one. Building should feel like this. If you’re planning a new home or renovation in Brisbane, save this for later.

A nod to the home’s roots. Classic materials put together lovingly to restore this home’s 1940’s charm and give it a whole new chapter. Built @eclatbuildingco Images @toby_scott #BrisbaneArchitect #BrisbaneArchitecture #subtropicaldesign #QueenslandHomes #architectdesigned

Sneak peek of our beautiful #maytree_fairytalehouse which we are looking forward to sharing more of soon! Our clients Taryn & Ben are the third generation to live in this home and came to us with a lovely attitude of custodianship. Renovated within the exact footprint of the existing home, they forewent floor area and prioritised finish, connection and ambitious design.
