Lovely contemporary house located in Brisbane, Australia, recently designed by Abode Construction.

Description
What an extraordinary challenge Abode Construction was presented when they had to turn this corner block character home into a Palm Springs Oasis on 300 sq meters in one of Brisbane?s Premier Streets.
Codes taken into consideration
– The Traditional Building Character Code

– Demolition Code – Pre 1946 House

– Small Lot & Corner Lot
With the complexity of the codes predetermining the design phase, Abode was able to utlise the full potential of the correct Gross Floor Area needed to include 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2 car garage, and a parcel of turf.

The challenge of the design managed to fulfill the dream of a 280 sq meter home on a 300 sq meter block to create a multilevel dwelling. Due to site location and access issues innovative design warranted a two-vehicle street level garage for parking, this complemented the contour of the land as it was sloping 2.5 meters from left to right towards Annie Street. The height difference played to Abode?s benefit by using the slope to cleverly reinforce the plunge pool with retaining walls which also doubled as the garage structure.
The ingenious design of the undercover garage not only ensured the correct GFA but took full advantage of the suspended slab to organically add the footprint for a lawned area and landscaped garden creating the perfect outdoor space....
