Built to last

The original design of the 1867 home prioritised

shade and airflow, and the materials were chosen

to endure. Built from timber (ironbark, pine and

cedar), it features sturdy spotted-gum porches and

generous awnings supported by handmade beams.

The 13-year-old barn is termite-resistant ironbark.

Many of its recycled timbers were once trusses at

Yeerongpilly train station, which opened in 1884.

“You can still see soot on them,” says Juliette.

‘The paint colour and decorative

choices give warmth to what’s a very

white house.’Juliette Wright
