Hidden away in a secluded riverside gully, this urban retreat is just 5km from Brisbane’s CBD. 

Designed by renowned architects Andresen O'Gorman, the home is artfully composed from timber and glass, with six separate timber decks offering views of green surrounds and river.

Agent Drew Davies told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “Only 5km from the CBD, this secluded home is nestled amongst rainforest species, capturing natural breezes and views of the Brisbane River. Comprising three pavilions across 2 levels and connected via a multitude of outdoor living areas, 1 Derby Street is a significant piece of architecture that should be experienced in person.”

Transitioning between enclosed and transparent, as well as indoors and outdoors, the dual-level home includes a lower level with separate studio and master suite with deck that opens to a private back gully. The home’s two bathrooms include a bath with view and indoor/outdoor shower.

On the upper level, the living room with fireplace and reading ledge with river views, sits alongside the open plan timber kitchen with Miele appliances and servery and dining room and study space/desk surrounded by glass windows.

Widely published in leading architectural journals and publications, the home was awarded an Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal in 2002 - the AIA's highest honour.

The property is within walking distance of Southbank and West End, opposite the University of Queensland.
