The House at Riverton

Chelmer, Brisbane

Riverton. Inspired by an expansive site & a connection to the landscape & the historic township, Riverton integrates sustainable sub-tropical living within an elegant formality.

Celebrating the historical connections to the area, “Riverton” is Named after the histrorical township that it is located within.

Openly engaged with the surrounding site, the formal elements of the home allow unobstructed views and movement access across the site, encouraging natural ventilation and sunlight to activate the interior spaces while also tempering the resulting comfort levels at the same time.

Creatively reimagined to allow for a significant renovation to an original Queenslander, restoring the home to create a highly contemporary and sophisticated space.

The entry staircase is a key feature of this home, as is the suspended bridge over the double height living space. The house focuses on the beauty of a natural colour palette – one that is perfectly balanced with an abundance of natural light.

Behind a striking façade, the two-level pavilion style architectural family home features a private tennis court & large adjacent in-ground pool at its heart.

Soaring high ceilings, abundant natural light, luxe natural and earthy palette / finishes feature throughout.
