Elizabeth Street

Overview

Elizabeth Street is a new four bedroom residence situated in a Character Precinct within Brisbane’s inner ring of suburbs. The pattern of the existing Queenslander cottage is maintained in the street form of the building. The main pedestrian entry is via a side stairwell accessing down the sloping site to living areas on ground opening to a north facing courtyard. The entry sequence for visitors unfolds gradually, with glimpses to the main living areas and the landscape beyond. Apertures are customised to afford views out, while maintaining privacy to all neighbours. Bedrooms are situated to the first floor, with direct access via a central hallway from the street garage. The planning is tuned to contain a large brief within a reasonably small footprint.
