High above the Brisbane River, this Upper House penthouse demonstrates a disciplined approach to residential interiors — one that privileges spatial calm over display. Interior decoration was conceived as a quiet counterpoint to the expansive outlook, allowing the architecture, light, and horizon to lead the experience.
Rather than relying on statement gestures, the interior unfolds through material restraint. Stone surfaces introduce gravity, timber provides warmth, and soft textiles temper the geometry of the plan. Furnishings are minimal and sculptural, positioned to reinforce proportion rather than assert presence.
The architecture supports a careful balance between openness and privacy. Living spaces remain fluid and outward-facing, while bedrooms retreat into a more enclosed, restorative atmosphere. Light is treated as a primary material, shaping mood throughout the day. The result is an interior of confidence and longevity — composed, deliberate, and resistant to trend, offering a refined expression of contemporary apartment living.
