    A renovator’s guide to the Queenslander

    Feb 03, 2017 4 minutes
    WORDS THEA ROWAN

    The Queenslander home comes in many guises, from high-set bungalows and federation, pre-war and inter-war styles, often incorporating two or three gables, flanking verandas and sleep-outs. Throughout the eras, it has been a home that was designed with a purpose, aimed to withstand the subtropical heat and protect the home and its occupants against the erratic Queensland weather, as well as keep away nasty creepy crawlies like termites and snakes.

With the right experts and guidance, you can create a remarkable home that honours its heritage while embracing our modern lifestyle needs.
