Gesturing towards the Brisbane CBD at the rear of the challenging 200 square metre site, Spring Hill House asserts itself as a bold and sculptural architectural home in Brisbane’s inner-city.

‍

Its proximity to the CBD and Victoria Park informs an urban material palette, contrasting heavy masonry; concrete flooring, feature blockwork, and emotive stonework – with lightweight perforated metals and warm timber walls.

‍

The entry frames a clear view of the sculptural stair, linking all four levels of the house. The living, dining, & kitchen are all elevated to take advantage of the city aspect, where automated louvres and operable openings enhance cross-ventilation and support subtropical living.

‍

The white scribed ceilings direct the eye outwards, encouraging indoor-outdoor living. The basement & top floor of the house offer contrasting experiences tailored to their functions.

‍

While the top level provides a light-filled & open flexible space, the subterranean media, bar & cellar are designed for luxurious home entertainment, continuing the material narrative that unites the multi-level home.
