24 High Street, Milton

A landmark of contemporary Australian architecture, this two-bedroom residence by acclaimed architects Lineburg Wang fuses poetic restraint with tactile materiality and considered spatial interplay. Hidden behind a modest colonial façade, the home unfolds into a series of sublime interiors that reframe Queensland's traditional high-set typology for modern urban life. Set on a split-level 253sqm allotment, the home is defined by its interplay of compression and release, transitioning from intimate private quarters to an expansive, pavilion-like living domain. The lower level offers a spacious carport and covered breezeway entry, alongside a powder room, laundry, and generous storage. Ascend to the main living quarters and you are met with a deliberate shift in material and tone: robust brickwork, pale joinery, and a palette of warm neutrals establish a serene backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. Anchoring the home is the open-plan living, dining and kitchen space - a soaring volume with a 3.85m ceiling, custom joinery and operable skylights. Framed by the home's signature brick walls, the space opens seamlessly to a private open-air courtyard via full-width sliding glazing, a gesture that extends the living area outward while embracing Brisbane's sub-tropical climate. Carefully curated architectural detailing includes integrated appliances, bespoke light fittings and a concealed DJ booth overlooking the living room. The sleeping quarters consisting of two tranquil bedrooms with robes, a custom study nook and central lounge, are deliberately set apart, offering calm and quietude. The bathroom, drenched in northern light and softened by tactile olive-toned tiling, is a masterclass in minimalist luxury. Designed for those who value architectural pedigree, spatial clarity and inner-city convenience, this is a home that sits in dialogue with both place and time - a private sanctuary in the urban grain of Milton. Just 2.5km from the CBD, Milton is a tightly held inner-west suburb renowned for its character homes, village charm and vibrant lifestyle precincts. Residents enjoy proximity to Suncorp Stadium, Park Road dining, the Milton Markets, riverside parklands and premier transport links. Schooling options include the highly regarded Milton State School, Brisbane Grammar School, and nearby private colleges.
