Interior Design
Soft neutral tones, white timber joinery, and restored heritage detailing provided a warm, character-filled backdrop to learning. Contemporary furnishings added flexibility and comfort within each age-specific room.
Exterior Design
The original homestead was preserved and enhanced with light-filled extensions, creating a striking blend of Queensland colonial and modern design. Exteriors used timber, soft greys, and garden integration to honour its roots.
