On a long narrow site with a western aspect to the Brisbane River at Yeronga, this house accommodates a family of four. The site enjoys a northern view over a large neighbouring garden.
The house is one-room wide and two-storeys high with internal spaces aligned along the southern boundary, and stepped down a slight slope toward the river. Most rooms are able to enjoy views of the river with a northern aspect to a large linear outdoor ‘room’ bordered by a lap pool on the northern boundary.
A cost effective construction is achieved by a conventional steel and timber stud frame, clad with rendered ‘fibro’. There has been particular attention given to the finishes and detailing to ensure a refined outcome consistent with the client’s brief and budget.
Of particular importance to the design is the integration of landscaping extending from the entry down through the large outdoor room to the river.
