Project Overview: Gaythorne Queenslander Renovation

This project centered around a full cosmetic renovation of a beloved 1920s Queenslander, protected under Traditional Building Character overlays. The renovation was a head-to-toe transformation, revitalizing the home while preserving its timeless charm. The exterior was given a fresh coat of paint, breathing new life into the classic façade, while extensive carpentry repairs restored the intricate detailing that makes these homes so iconic. Inside, polished timber floors now shine, adding warmth and elegance, complemented by a modern, newly installed bathroom. Outside, a complete landscaping overhaul has turned the yard into a green oasis, enhancing the home’s curb appeal.

A Win-Win Arrangement with the Owner

This renovation project was a true collaboration with the homeowner, who faced significant health challenges. Their cherished home was in desperate need of repair, and time was of the essence. We quickly established a solution that allowed us to settle quickly on the property to restore the home while the owner focused on their recovery. The result is a beautifully refreshed Queenslander that honors its history while offering comfort and style for the future—benefiting both the owner and the Gaythorne community.
