Barradine House – Greenslopes
With a commanding 23-metre frontage, this residence on Barradine St, Greenslopes presents a bold yet refined interpretation of Hamptons-inspired living. Balancing timeless styling with modern family functionality, the design brings together elegance, comfort, and everyday practicality — all in one of Brisbane’s most established inner-south suburbs.
From the street, the home makes a striking first impression. Its gabled form and crisp white weatherboard exterior immediately establish presence, while the symmetrical layout and precise detailing evoke a sense of timeless Hamptons charm. Layered textures and thoughtful landscaping soften the elevation, creating a home that feels both stately and welcoming.
Inside, the home is designed to unfold with intention. Herringbone French Oak flooring leads through the entry and into a soaring double-height void — a space that feels calm, bright, and quietly dramatic. An elegantly curved staircase rises toward the upper level, becoming both a visual feature and a functional spine to the home. Sightlines are subtly layered, drawing the eye from the front entrance through to the open-plan living zones beyond.
At the heart of the home sits the main living area, designed to support both connection and retreat. This light-filled zone merges seamlessly with the kitchen and dining space, all framed by north-east facing French windows that capture morning sun and cooling breezes. Large-format glazing opens the home to the outdoors while also providing views across neighbouring treetops — anchoring the interior in its leafy suburban context.
The kitchen has been designed with both beauty and everyday function in mind. A large island bench forms the centrepiece of the space, creating a natural place for gathering, preparing meals, or working from home. Marble splashbacks, stone benchtops, and custom cabinetry reflect Invilla’s focus on tailored design, while a generous walk-in pantry ensures the kitchen remains clean and efficient. High-quality appliances are integrated throughout, making the space equally suited to casual family meals or larger-scale entertaining.
A strong sense of scale and flow is carried throughout the ground floor. The home’s three-metre-high coffered ceilings add to the verticality, giving communal areas a sense of openness and grandeur. These proportions are continued on the upper level, where bedrooms have been designed to provide privacy, comfort, and flexibility for evolving family needs.
The master suite offers a private retreat — complete with a generous walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite. Dual vanities, premium fixtures, and soft lighting create a spa-like experience, while large windows provide natural light and leafy outlooks. Additional bedrooms are well-sized and light-filled, ideal for children, guests, or conversion into a study or creative space. Each room includes built-in storage to maintain clarity and order.
Back downstairs, the layout offers multiple breakout zones. A dedicated home office and secondary living area give everyone their own space to focus or unwind — an increasingly essential consideration for modern family life. Practicality has also been thoughtfully embedded. The four-car garage offers not only secure vehicle storage, but also room for bikes, sporting equipment, or workshop use. It’s a solution designed for the way families live and grow.
Connection to outdoor living was central to the design approach. The rear terrace flows directly from the main living area and includes a built-in BBQ, outdoor kitchen, and fridge. This alfresco zone makes entertaining effortless, while still feeling relaxed and informal. Just beyond, a glass-framed swimming pool becomes the visual and social focal point of the backyard — a space that can be enjoyed throughout Brisbane’s warm seasons.
Landscaping plays a key role in framing and softening the outdoor experience. Lush planting, well-defined edges, and subtle layering create a garden that is easy to maintain while still feeling rich and welcoming. It wraps the home in greenery, helping to create privacy and a sense of enclosure without sacrificing openness.
Throughout the Barradine St residence, every design decision was made to balance visual appeal with functionality. Finishes were chosen not just for their aesthetics, but for their durability — ensuring the home remains both beautiful and practical for years to come. From the warmth of the oak flooring underfoot to the natural light cascading through the double-height void, the home invites calm, comfort, and ease into every moment.
Delivered in collaboration with Anchor Building Services, this project reflects Invilla’s approach to new home design: thoughtful spatial planning, cohesive material palettes, and a tailored response to both site and lifestyle.
Whether it’s the open void on arrival, the sculpted staircase, or the way the backyard comes alive at dusk — this home captures the essence of elevated suburban living in Greenslopes. It stands as a confident and timeless home, crafted to support the rhythms of real life with grace and intention.
