Designed by Baahouse + Baastudio, this 80sqm+20sqm 2 Bedroom granny flat, small house was built by Saunders Building Company Brisbane. It is located in the beautiful hilly area of Samford Valley located 21km from Brisbane City / Queensland / Australia. The house was designed for a hip/elderly couple who wanted to live on the same property as their kids but wanted their own little retreat that they could live in and enjoy their retirement years. The brief for the project was to design a small, tropical, modern house that utilises the steep site but also gives the owner a fantastic home where they can ejoy their lifestyle. Having large open decks was a key element for the design. Because of the sub tropical climate the decks become another indoor - outdoor room that the owners can enjoy. The large front deck flows into the main living area and with the sliding doors open the 2 spaces merge together to create a large enjoyable space that connects inside and outside together. The design is called the Lincoln design 2B which is one of the designs from Baahouse + Baastudio. It consists of 2 bedrooms, ensuite, shared wc, large study, laundry and the main kitchen - living / lounge area. So with the use of all internal spaces and no wasted corridors the 80sqm house feels like a 100sqm house. The large high raking ceiling and position of high window the interior spaces feel large for the size of the house. The existing house on site had vertical textured cladding boards so the clients wanted to use the same cladding but to make the house a dark colour so it disappeared into the leafy surrounding and so the form of the structure was a statement. With the use of Hardwood outriggers, handrails and vertical timber battens the house has become a stunning tropical form of modern architecture that will over time blend into the surroundings but hold its own style for years to come. One of the feature materials if the use of fiberglass transparent cladding on the deck area. The fiberglass is semi transparent which creates a lovely sense of light inside and from the outside gives the house a water like appearance glow. At night time the house becomes like a Japenense lantern which glows in the dark. The inside finishes consist of Spotted Gum Hardwood timber flooring which is the same material as the outside decking. The spotted gum flooring wraps up the kitchen island bench. The Feature kitchen bench is raw concrete caesarstone that compliments the colours of the dark grey laminate and the natural colours of the timber flooring. With the use of timber veneer in the kitchen and tv unit the blend of materials work together to create an inviting space. With all of the open able window and large sliding doors the house captures all of the breezes which floor through the house along with the light and natural material Baahouse + Baastudio have created truly a new style of Granny flats/Small houses that sets them apart from what’s on the market.

This lovely Hampshire home was extended to incorporate a larger kitchen and family room. The central kitchen island allows our client to enjoy her hobbies of baking and cooking, and the curved demi-lune seating area allows friends to sit and chat. We designed the space so the client could have a relaxed family area where friends and family could congregate, with a separate formal sitting room as a peaceful haven of tranquility for quiet evenings by the fire.

Re-modelling an existing layout from an old country look to a new modern take on country style. This budget kitchen was in need of a makeover and light and bright was a key factor in the re-design.

The outside kitchen was constructed using black galaxy granite tops and compact laminate cupboards (which can withstand complete exposure to the outside elements). A bespoke stainless steel splashback completed the seamless look. An oversized stainless sink, extending tap, bbq, commercial gas oven and glass/dish washing machine and bar/food fridge completed the design. mike newell status images
