Known as Graphic House, the home was designed by renowned architect Shaun Lockyer and impeccably built by Thallon Mole Group, fusing modernist design and craftsmanship with a luxurious but comfortable subtropical lifestyle.

With three spacious bedrooms, two superlative bathrooms, a ‘work from home’ office with city views, and a two-car garage with two 3-phase electrical connections to support e-vehicle charging units, this stunning home on a 604sqm (approx.) block is the epitome of elegance, style and sophisticated wow factor.

The home follows the site down the hill, making the most of the elevation.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Shaun Lockyer said, "The design intent was to create a modern home with strong horizontals that responded sympathetically to the site’s elevated position."

"Its long axis is all east-facing glass, and at every moment of the day you experience the change in the light and capture the panoramic easterly views of the city – it’s an incredible site, to say the least​​​​​."

“Positioned less than 5km from the CBD, this property feels like it’s on top of the world, with best city views in Brisbane,” Rachael Spinks told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

“The incredible, 270-degree panoramas stretch from the east to the CBD all the way around to Mount Warning in the south west.”

“Everything within the home is of the best quality with the finest finishes - that attention to detail and quality of fittings and finishes really makes this property a standout.
