Character Home Extension Preserves Inner City Views

A character filled Paddington cottage in inner city Brisbane is the dream-home for down-sizers Rob and Eileen. The house had previously been renovated and oozed traditional charm both inside and out but it was missing some features to make it a forever home.

Worker's Cottage Extension

As a solution, Whiteroom Architects added an extension at the rear of this beautiful character cottage. This design is equally modern and of its time while being respectful and complimentary to the original Queenslander architecture.

Blending Architecture with Nature

Rear Deck Home Extension

We also installed a new rear deck. The deck accentuates the original home’s features without needing to be a copy of the existing form.

Carport For Character Home

We installed hardwood columns supports the cascading roofs that allow connection of the old cottage to a new covered carport.

The carport roof was positioned deliberately to act as a screen to the neighbouring cottage down the hill while allowing maintaining of the ridge line.

Cascading Roofs Brisbane

The cascading roofs provide shelter and shade from the western sun. They also maintain and frame the suburban views from the back deck.

New stairs and balustrading allow access from the carparking to the front deck.

Quality Design Solutions

We are proud of this design solution as it shows how new style additions can work in harmony with the character of Queenslander homes. The new design compliments the original architecture and builds upon the architecture that was there.
