Breathing New Life into Queensland Icons

Queenslanders are beloved for their charm, but they weren’t designed for the way we live today. Narrow hallways, small kitchens, and lack of open-plan living often make them impractical. Renovating them requires expertise — one wrong move can compromise heritage value or create costly structural issues.

At Invilla, we’ve made Queenslander renovations a specialty. We know how to preserve what makes them special while carefully reimagining them for modern families. The goal isn’t to strip character away, but to give these homes a new chapter.

Our Renovation Approach

Character Assessment

We begin by understanding what gives your Queenslander its identity — from fretwork and verandahs to timber detailing.

Layout Transformation

We open up interiors for modern living, creating larger kitchens, connected living areas, and better flow while respecting the home’s original form.

Structural Planning

Raising, restumping, or reinforcing the structure ensures safety, compliance, and longevity.

Heritage-Respectful Materials

We source finishes that blend the old with the new, preserving authenticity while adding comfort.

Modern Comforts

We design bathrooms, kitchens, and storage for today’s lifestyle — without compromising the home’s integrity.

Approval & Documentation

Renovating often involves council or heritage approvals. We prepare clear documentation to simplify the process.

Designed for Today, Loved for Tomorrow

Our renovations honour the story of each Queenslander while preparing it for the next generation. The result is a home that retains its charm on the outside while feeling fresh, spacious, and functional inside.

The Result

A Queenslander that blends character with contemporary living. One that works for your family today, while respecting the craftsmanship of its past.
