Rosalie Residence
Rosalie House has a solid base that rises up as a 3-storey lightweight structure. The exterior is predominantly recycled Tallowwood weatherboard and pre-weathered zinc cladding – KIRK’s interpretation of the timber and tin tradition that is prevalent in the area.
Location
Paddington, Queensland
Status
Completed 2010
Gross floor area
560 m²
Context
Rosalie House is located in one of Brisbane’s most established inner city suburbs. This five-bedroom family home sits on a hillside among the peaks and gullies that characterises the suburb of Paddington.
Concept
The planning of the house is organised to address the views towards the city on the North-East and Mt Coot-tha on the South-West. The resulting building footprint provides private courtyards and landscaped terraces adjacent to the main living spaces.
