Zuzana & Nicholas transforms Brisbane cottage into own home and studio

The founders of Australian studio Zuzana & Nicholas have used a "robust palette" of stone, concrete and steel to transform a former workers' cottage in Brisbane into their own studio and house.

Located in the Red Hill neighbourhood, the cottage was originally designed in the Queenslander style that defines much of Brisbane's suburbs – a type of timber-framed house elevated above an open undercroft and fronted by a veranda.
