Brisbane couple Carlye and Trevor bought a rundown Queenslander predominantly for the aspect. “You can see out
to the city but have all the greenery in the foreground, so you get the best of both worlds,” explains Carlye. When the couple decided to renovate, the back of the house was opened up by Darren James Interiors to make the most of the spectacular views and create an open-plan kitchen, dining and study area. The more practical elements are either concealed or take a back seat to the room’s standout blend of
finishes and elegant touches, forming a stunning living space.
