Plunkett House

As inner-city blocks become smaller the skill in maximising the potential of each block is paramount. The Plunkett House does just that. Through the design of Bligh Graham, the GMG team were able to transform a once run down worker’s cottage into a modern open-plan home in inner-city Paddington by raising the existing cottage and paying tribute to the character façade the discerning alterations to shape behind. Built over two levels with the design cleverly introduced louvres and screens to create a feeling of airiness and generosity of scale, allowing the home to take full advantage of Brisbane’s subtropical climate.
