Perched on the water’s edge, ‘Campbell House’ is one of only a few significant landholdings in Brisbane’s prestigious riverfront precinct of Graceville.
Source: Place New FarmThe stylish and generously proportioned home sprawls over four levels, designed to take full advantage of the riverfront views from almost every room, on an expansive allotment of approximately 3,339sqm.
Architecturally designed by Don Watson and winner of the Robin Boyd National Architectural Award in 1989, the home has been revived with a state-of-the-art renovation by world-class architect Shaun Lockyer.
“The Campbell House represents a unique take on 80’s modernism combined with late ‘arts and crafts’ inspiration,” Shaun Lockyer told WILLIAMS MEDIA.

We were privileged (and challenged) to carry out works to the home in order to recalibrate the spatial planning to transform the house into one that represents a considered balance of historic detail and contemporary lifestyle aspirations.”

“This is an incredibly thoughtful and sympathetic design that takes in the intention of the original architect,” Heath Williams told WILLIAMS MEDIA.
“What Shaun has managed to achieve is to update this home to a manner suited to a modern lifestyle while maintaining its classic origins.”
