The Ashgrove Hillside House sits on an enviable site – elevated and surrounded by wattle, gum trees and grevilleas with views out to Mt Coot-tha through the canopies.

The sloping site looks out over a regenerated silver and lead mine to the south – a bush setting in suburban Brisbane. To accommodate a growing family, the brief adds additional living space and bedrooms to the 3 bedroom high set Queenslander house.
The sloping site runs down to a lush garden to the West, where mature trees and outlook provide a beautiful protected rear garden. The clients, living in a high set Queenslander wanted to live on the garden level so that their young children can play outside without constant supervision and enjoy the garden.
The SIPS House project is demonstration of restraint, the design has been carefully and deliberately paired back to the core aspirations of connections, outlooks and prospect.
