Abstract -

Nestled in the lush greenery of Upper Brookfield, Brisbane, Carbine House is a peaceful family home that embraces the charm of a classic rural homestead. Designed with simplicity and warmth in mind, it offers a relaxed, timeless feel where every space is inviting and effortlessly functional.

Carefully chosen natural materials help the home age beautifully, developing a warm patina that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The steep site came with challenges, but the solution is both clever and stunning: the bedroom wing sits above the trees, almost like a treehouse, creating a quiet escape with a stunning canopy view from each bedroom.

Carbine House was born from a close, collaborative bond between the designer and the client. The finished project is a family-friendly home that feels deeply in sync with nature, both grounded and open, simple yet refined. Its effortless charm creates the perfect backdrop for a warm, lively family life to thrive.
