Nestled within the Grange, a leafy suburb of Brisbane, Uxbridge House by Tim Stewart Architects is the quintessential family home.
The final structure was built up from a very small house.
Typically, a Queenslander home is a weatherboard house with battens underneath.
But Uxbridge House flips this tradition.
Whilst maintaining a strong connection to the local community, the house now has battens on the upper level.
That element protects the home from the sun and provides extra privacy.
The lower level, still weatherboard now sits on a darker base below.
Uxbridge House sits along a bike path that travels up and out through many of Brisbane’s northern suburbs. This greenbelt slices through the suburb and defines the property’s edges.
The public edges of the park and bike path influenced the layout of the home.
The living, dining, and kitchen area is a gathering space that has the opportunity to interact with neighbours and the community.
As a completed entity, the Tim Stewart Architects design team ensured Uxbridge House enriches not only the family living there but positively contributes to the surrounding neighbourhood too.
