Luxury defined: understanding luxury in Brisbane’s finest homes

Matt Lancashire, principal of Ray White New Farm, knows luxury. As the luxury expert in Brisbane’s inner city suburbs, Matt is well placed to understand the nuance of what makes a home luxury, and what sets it apart.

“Luxury is about quality and experience,” he said.

“It’s the way a home makes you feel every single day and the small details that elevate how you live in a home.

“A true luxury home doesn’t just look impressive, it enhances the lifestyle of the people who live there. It’s about design, craftsmanship and creating spaces that are both beautiful and highly functional.”

“Renowned architect Shaun Lockyer built and designed this as his own personal home and created a showcase of his philosophy around living with nature,” Matt said.

“Every element has been considered to maximise natural light, airflow, and the relationship with the landscape.

“The result is a home that feels calm and balanced as it's framed by greenery and light. What’s clever is the way it balances scale but it still feels intimate and warm. It’s a house that encourages you to enjoy the simple rituals of living.”
