Spring Hill residence is a heritage-listed home resting on the cusp of Brisbane City. Though once dilapidated, the restoration of its federation architectural gestures began in 2020 under the careful guidance of a heritage architect, driven by a client dedicated to preserving its patchwork of fragmented stylistic identities. With old photographs from the state library as inspiration, the project artfully reestablishes and retains historically contextual features like pewter and antique brass hardware, arched interior design compositions and elegant transitions between checked marble and timber flooring, dictated by historic restrictions. In embracing its storied heritage features, soaring ceilings and unconventional programming, each new detail evolves and extends a long-standing narrative: the hand-painted joinery, the traditional lime plaster walls downstairs, crazy paving and exposed brickwork and the elegant blend of vintage finds and modern furnishings which creates a dialogue between eras, illuminating that this place is a reservoir of memories with plentiful space for new ones to be forged.

“A downsizing couple find an unlikely home on a busy inner Brisbane street corner, transforming a derelict shophouse with timeless interiors.”
