114 Browne Street

New Farm QLD 4005

Cutting Edge Residence on Teneriffe Hill
Demonstrating a respect for timeless architecture, this striking contemporary conversion presents itself as a house that sits at the forefront of ultra-modern living. 114 Browne Street has been designed by multi-award winning architect Shaun Lockyer, to use modern-day design and building techniques to create something more than just a house. What's apparent when you enter this striking home is the absolute attention to detail and raw opulence. Spotted gum floors, travertine tiling and polished Calcutta marble slab set the standard for what is a home. Complete connectivity with the natural world is created through a clever use of voids and opulent timber texture and features throughout. It is this use of space and modernist design elements that makes this house so unique. An outdoor room with vaulted 6m high void, is separated by custom made timber bi-folds creates discreet spatial connections between inside and outside, which is an overwhelming theme of the house. This fluidity of space and light throughout the home enables its occupants to focus on peaceful modern living, a clear indication of an intellectual grasp of modern design. This high end standard of living continues as you walk up the stairs and immerse yourself in a house that has not compromised practical living for design prowess. With three bedrooms, master retreat, plus a restful and light-filled Italian stone bathroom and a separate study, this house is in sync with everything that the modern family would need and more. This expansive home comprises many features including: commercial grade Joinery, ILVE appliances in the kitchen, double garaging, separate laundry/drying court, fully ducted air conditioning, solar hot water, sparkling in-ground pool with a waterfall feature, and a hidden 10,000 litre water tank to top up the swimming pool and reduce overall water usage by having water plumbed into both laundry, toilets, and garden usage. Located on Teneriffe hill this elevated house captures vast greenery and glimpses city from the entertaining areas. With the perfect formula of formal, informal and outdoor living spaces, 114 Browne Street is a home that rarely presents itself. Having being published in high-end architecture publications do yourself a favour, inspect and celebrate a triumph of classic contemporary conversion all in Brisbane's most desired suburb New Farm.
