Construction Update: The Long Edit

We recently photographed the progress of The Long Edit, a thoughtful transformation of a much-loved Brisbane cottage in Wooloowin.  This project is all about making the most of what’s already there and reconnecting family life within the home and outside in the garden.

The Long Edit is a nod to both the shape of the original home and our approach to its transformation. This much-loved, long and linear Brisbane cottage has had its fair share of additions over the years, but somewhere along the way, its connection to the garden was lost.

Rather than starting again, our design is a careful edit — stripping back the bits that aren’t working, celebrating what’s worth keeping and introducing just enough to give the home a new lease on life.

A simple new living pavilion, light-filled stairwell and clever connection through the house bring the garden back into everyday family life. It’s about making more of what’s already there, with a little more light, space and breathing room, while keeping the character and charm of the original home intact.

One of our goals with our construction servicing is to make the build less stressful.  To catch those molehills before they become mountains, and be your representative onsite to ensure your experience is a positive one.
