Inspired by the work of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this riverfront residence in the leafy suburb of Indooroopilly, Queensland is set over two land titles (totalling approx. 1,505 sqm).

Built in an elevated, flood-free position, the timeless home enjoys panoramic views of both reaches of the Brisbane River, on a site chosen by the owners both for its “wonderfully intrinsic character”, as well as convenience to local transport, shopping and educational facilities - within a hidden pocket of Indooroopilly.


The home was a collaboration between the owners, architect RealSpace Creative, and South-East Queensland builders Sunny Coast Homes, with custom lighting by Tony Dowthwaite Lighting Design.

RealSpace Creative told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “9 Ivy Street was a defining moment for our practice – and set a new benchmark for Brisbane, never to be repeated at such a distinctive address.”

“The collective belief of the Architect, Client and Builder was that the site and its setting presented a unique and unrivalled opportunity to create something very special and memorable.”

“Conceived very much as ‘a journey’ – a carefully orchestrated progression of spaces starting from street arrival, through terraced gardens to a grand covered entry porch, a double-height foyer, and then on to formal/casual living spaces, arriving at the ‘River Room’– the architecture is heightened by the abundance of natural light and network of spatial experiences.”

Multiple living and entertaining areas are spread over the three levels of the home, serviced by an internal glass lift, including a premium theatre room with built in cocktail bar.

The floorplan also includes a formal home office, custom American oak library and five double bedrooms including master suite and guest suites each with built in robes, marble ensuite and balconies. The gourmet granite kitchen includes a spacious pantry and quality appliances, while the showroom grade six car garage with workshop and an abundance of storage rooms.

Outside, the residence embraces the climate of South-East Queensland, with multiple degrees of shade and outdoor living. The property’s 10m Infinity edge pool includes a pavilion with a separate gym or multipurpose retreat, while the 22ft private pontoon and tree house pavilion provide for enjoyment of water-based activities.

Standing proudly in the quiet and picturesque Ivy Street, the property is conveniently located 5-10 minutes from the Brisbane CBD and major hospitals.
