Rather than a conventional backyard, the garden is an experience in itself. Developed over almost two decades in consultation with renowned tropical gardener Dennis Hundscheidt, its dense composition of palms and colourful foliage is threaded with pathways, water features and quiet places to sit. Deeper into the garden, the triangular 'Deck Pod' with integrated timber seating creates a secluded retreat, offering a completely different perspective back towards the architecture.

Upstairs, the master is conceived as a timber-lined retreat, incorporating a raised bed platform, daybed, expansive glazing and substantial dressing room. A second bedroom includes an integrated desk, while the bathroom pairs black Belgian Winckelmans floor tiles and Italian Ceramica Vogue wall tiles with a German enamelled-steel bath, Duravit fittings and matt-black Astra Walker tapware. A sculptural Tasmanian oak staircase with concealed saw-tooth stringer is complemented by extensive storage, tandem two-car accommodation and additional off-street parking.

The existing architecture also lends itself to relatively straightforward expansion, giving future owners the opportunity to introduce additional accommodation or living space while working within the established architectural framework.

The setting brings a further layer of privacy. Positioned in a secluded, tightly held pocket of The Gap, the quiet cul-de-sac is surrounded by larger properties, lending the neighbourhood a sense of space that extends beyond the home's own gardens. Enoggera Reservoir places morning swims, kayaking and bushwalking at the top of the street, with the surrounding D'Aguilar National Park bringing protected bushland and wildlife within minutes of home.

The Gap Village, local cafs and everyday amenities are close by, alongside The Gap State High School, Hilder Road State School and St Peter Chanel Primary School, with several leading private schools accessible in neighbouring suburbs. Brisbane's CBD remains readily accessible, yet the peaceful residential setting feels distinctly removed from the city.

'Triangle House' is architecture with meaning and an intimate connection to landscape. It is a distinctly individual piece of Brisbane residential design, with the flexibility to evolve further over time.
