An Improved Veranda and Shades of Green Make This Queenslander Cottage a Subtropical Dream
To suit a multigenerational family, Brisbane firm Arcke built an apartment below the residence and connected them with a Japanese-inspired indoor/outdoor space.
This cottage in Northgate was well suited for the humidity. Its structure was raised on stumps to allow air circulation beneath, and a deep veranda wrapped the front and side to keep the interiors cool. When the owners got in touch with Brisbane architect Matt Kennedy and his firm Arcke to insert a ground-level apartment, he took the opportunity to improve on a good thing.
