<\/span><\/p>\n

Lockhart-Krause Architects have completed a transformative <\/span>adaptive reuse project<\/span><\/a> in Brisbane\u2019s Kelvin Grove, restoring a 145-year-old heritage building into a children\u2019s speech therapy centre. The design unites old and new through a carefully balanced composition \u2014 one side preserving the building\u2019s historic character, the other introducing a contemporary interpretation. The result is a layered, place-specific response that restores a Brisbane landmark and invites new stories to unfold.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dating back to the 1880s, the building has had many identities \u2014 from candy store and pub to private residence, music shop, and a series of restaurants. Over time, its original structure was concealed beneath layers of unsympathetic renovations, including a Spanish Mission-style facade added in the 1930s that obscured its original masonry, detailing, and proportions. The new addition clarifies and responds to these heritage qualities\u2014 echoing the building\u2019s scale, material palette, and rhythm to create a respectful architectural dialogue between old and new.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe aimed to honour the building\u2019s original character \u2014 sandstone brick walls, ornate windows, timber joists, and brick fireplaces \u2014 while clarifying the space and removing unnecessary elements,\u201d said <\/span>Jesse Lockhart-Krause<\/span><\/a>, director of LKA. \u201cThe result is a place that is grounded in its history but significantly improves function and amenities for the people within.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A new entry leads directly to a reception and admin area, anchored along the sandstone boundary wall to create a generous waiting space filled with natural light. Twelve consulting suites and a staff area were positioned on the upper level to maximise access to daylight, ventilation, and views toward Mount Coot-tha and Mount Nebo. The basement, once entirely dark, was opened up for indoor and outdoor play and music therapy. Original materials were reinstated throughout \u2014 with exposed sandstone, previously concealed timber joists, and a revitalised brick fireplace paired with new functional upgrades to bring warmth, clarity, and character to the space.<\/span><\/p>\n

The success of the project depended on <\/span>close collaboration<\/span><\/a> with the client, builder, and many consultants, with the client reflecting:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLockhart-Krause Architects supported us from start to finish. They were great collaborators \u2014 their vision allowed a project we could have never imagined, adding significant value.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The project adds to the firm\u2019s <\/span>growing project portfolio<\/span><\/a> across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania, and reflects its ethos of human-centred, collaborative design.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGood architecture is about teamwork,\u201d said Jesse Lockhart-Krause. \u201cWe\u2019re always keen to connect with like-minded clients, consultants, and collaborators.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
