Whilst it’s not brand spanking new anymore, Richard Kirk Architects continue to receive mentions for their award winning design in Highgate Hill. This home’s located on a heavily sloping block (mountain goat country) most of us wouldn’t dream of building on – but they’ve managed to build 3 levels with style. Just off Dornoch Terrace, where you can see more of their work, it’s on one of Brisbane’s steepest streets. Interestingly, their external design intentionally used timbers which will grey so that the colour scheme will come of age over time.
