Bardon House
bureau^proberts with PHAB Architects

PHAB Architects assisted bureau^proberts in the design development of this courtyard house for a family of five in Brisbane. Located on a steeply sloping site, the home is surrounded by gabled ‘timber and tin’ Queenslander houses, and uses familiar materials with contemporary forms in a way that challenges the traditional character streetscape.

The combined living, kitchen and dining space was conceived of as an indoor verandah, and looks out over a leafy gully to the north. “While many of Brisbane’s homes sport a ‘deck out the back,’ suspended high above and disconnected from the sloping ground below, this indoor verandah room provides an intimately engaging (and shaded) connection” to the trees beyond. – Margie Fraser, HOUSES magazine.
