Genius architecture at c50house

CRAIG Channon’s architectural genius has produced a Brisbane home full of cutting-edge surprises hidden away behind character cottage charm.

Teneriffe’s ‘c50house’, at 50 Crase Street, is on the market for the first time after an extensive transformation driven by a superior collaboration between Channon Architects and Black Developments.

As one of the city’s most innovative homes, its long list of luxury features includes a concealed gymnasium, custom Vangaurd louvre system, heated mosaic tiled swimming pool, custom French oak floors, a bespoke solid French oak floating staircase and a vast outdoor entertaining room.

Well-known locals Matt and Caitlyn Lancashire have poured blood, sweat and tears into creating what they believe is a new precedent in residential living.

“We decided to engage Craig Channon of Channon Architects to draw some concepts after purchasing the home,” Mr Lancashire said.

“Craig is a very clever guy who has worked on some of Brisbane’s most high-end residences. He’s a local and understands the code of the area and we were able to get exactly what we wanted using the original cottage as the platform to create something architectural off the back which flows really well and pays respect to the original foundations.”

A much-loved area of the three level, four-bedroom home is the open-plan living, kitchen, dining, lounge, entertaining, outdoor barbecue and pool zone.

“Craig’s work is special and he's clever about working with indoor-outdoor spaces, including our big outdoor area which has 5m ceilings wrapped in battened timber,” Mr Lancashire said.

“It's a space we use all year round. He’s also got an extremely good eye for detail so there are so many minute details throughout the property which you wouldn’t know existed unless you went through. We poured a lot of consideration and effort into every inch of what has been a wonderful home for our family.”

Another enormous lure of c50house is its extremely popular address which is within walking distance of the CBD, surrounded by the Brisbane River, and minutes from the city’s most sought after restaurants, boutique shops and parkland.

“Caity and I have always been attracted to the Teneriffe Hill location,” Mr Lancashire said.

“We love the idea of being able to walk to all of the amenities such as Beccofinos, Kin & Co Cafe and James Street, and we have Teneriffe Park just around the corner. It’s a really quiet location where at night you can hear a pin drop and there’s no cross-through traffic which is absolutely fantastic.”

The Lancashires have engaged Ray White New Farm’s Nicholas Given and Scott Darwon to manage the sale of c50house which is scheduled to go to auction at Ray White’s ‘Under the Stars’ event on Tuesday, November 13.

“The level of detail on this house is like no other in the area, yet the architect has managed to retain the feel of a welcoming family home,” Mr Given said.

“Its clever design positions all living downstairs, a second living area upstairs, a beautiful pool area at the rear with that hidden gymnasium behind the secret wall. This is one of the sexiest homes I’ve managed the sale of and without a doubt it’s one of the best homes currently on the market.”

Mr Darwon said there were no comparables, in terms of quality, to 50 Crase Street, not only in New Farm but across the wider Brisbane region.

“Superb architecture has created a home perfectly suited to Queensland living but with a vibe reminiscent of life in the island parts of Greece or Italy,” Mr Darwon said.

“The attention to detail is something to behold and not one finish is of a standard less than perfect. Given the location, finish, feeling and atmosphere the house omits, this is going to be a home that will truly be enjoyed by its residents for many, many years to come.”
