The project

Hall and Roberts Studio restored and reworked this 1890s workers' cottage on a 198 square metre corner lot in Paddington, Brisbane. The two-level, 101 square metre home blends the cottage's original character with modern living in a compact inner-city footprint.

Inside, white timber linings, a simple white kitchen and open rooms lead to verandahs among lush planting, while a sunken garden court with grass pavers adds outdoor space below. It was completed in 2025.
