Wilston Residence

Addition of a largely free-standing structure to an original 1930's residence

Location
Wilston, Brisbane

Status
Completed 2006

Traditional Custodians of the land
The Turrbal and Jagera people

Gross Floor Area
350 m²

Context

The sloping East-West axis site is located in Wilston, one of the older inner-city suburbs of Brisbane. The project involves the addition of a separate but attached building to the original 1930’s residence. The original residence was simply stripped back to its essential core by removing all recent additions to allow the retention of its formal qualities within the site and its engagement with the street. The distinct separation of the new and old allow the new work to directly engage with the landscape and ground plane.

Concept

The separate addition, although attached, is treated as a pavilion and is placed in the existing garden space at the rear of the site. The new pavilion contains living spaces on the ground floor with sleeping spaces on the upper level. All spaces have a northerly outlook and a strong visual connection with the garden spaces of the adjacent sites. The original residence contains the main bedroom spaces and a study. The living space has a 10-metre-wide opening to the garden with the projecting bedrooms on the upper level creating a delicate hovering volume above. The functional differentiation of the glazing systems articulates the main building form.
