Locke
New Farm, Brisbane
Locke, in Brisbane’s sought after New Farm is a contemporary double courtyard house, tucked discretely under an existing Queenslander to maximise indoor / outdoor lifestyle. Clad in warm, natural materials, the architecture of the dwelling is calming in nature.
The presence of the double courtyard in Locke plays a fundamental role in establishing privacy, as well as creating a sense of openness across the relatively constrained site.
Functional planning of the home is driven around the courtyards, where a series of operable walls allow for year-round flexibility, so that the space is experienced as a series of pavilions within a garden rather than a singular volume of house. Each pavilion allows for the space to be able to extend or create pockets of intimacy as the mood, weather or need requires.
