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.

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.
