Grange Residence

Michelle Bailey — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 00:02:00 +0000

Not long ago, the view from Grange Residence to its backyard was a familiar suburban prospect. It was an image of dishevelled undergrowth that entangled a neighbour’s mango tree, overwhelmed the chain wire fence, engulfed the lawn and restrained itself only enough to clear a path to the rotary clothes hoist. Admiring the outlook now, clients Matt and Jane Scott take pleasure in the changes, which have seen this same piece of territory become something more usable, more accessible and a little less like most backyards that began life in the 1950s.

The Grange Residence project is an extension and partial renovation of a three-bedroom, mid-century home in suburban Brisbane. The additions are relatively modest, however, the results are exceptional; the client’s aspirations for the project have been exceeded due to the multiplicity of benefits brought about by relatively small changes.
