Located in the heart of Wavell Heights, Brisbane, this custom-designed three-storey residence transforms a compact 400m² block into a bold architectural statement. Designed by Templo Studio, an experienced Brisbane house designer, the home was carefully planned to maximise sweeping city views while delivering refined, luxury family living.
The uppermost level is dedicated entirely to a private master retreat, complete with a separate nursery, forming a secluded sanctuary above the city. This vertical zoning allows the home to capture uninterrupted Brisbane skyline views while maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties — a key consideration in small lot home design in Brisbane.
At entry level, a formal dining space connects seamlessly to the kitchen and scullery, supporting effortless entertaining. The kitchen overlooks a striking suspended swimming pool and frames distant city vistas, reinforcing the home’s elevated position.
The lower ground floor accommodates a three-car garage, guest bedrooms, a rumpus room, and an intimate bar and lounge — creating layered living zones ideal for extended family and entertaining.
At the heart of the home is a curved, open-riser staircase spanning three levels. Encased by a dramatic glass block façade wall, this sculptural element diffuses natural light throughout the interior while creating a powerful architectural statement.
The interplay of form, light, and vertical space reflects Templo Studio’s expertise in bespoke Brisbane residential architecture.
“The Heights” demonstrates how intelligent planning and bold design can transform a constrained inner-city block into a sophisticated, view-oriented residence. Every detail has been thoughtfully resolved to deliver a home that balances innovation, luxury, and liveability.
