DOHORI HOUSE, ASCOT STREET
Positioned within one of Brisbane’s most established residential pockets, Dohori House explores the relationship between privacy, light and layered spatial experience.
The home is defined by a series of controlled thresholds — compressing and releasing space as occupants move through the plan. A restrained material palette of concrete, timber and stone anchors the architecture, while carefully placed openings frame light, landscape and sky. The result is a house that feels both grounded and expansive, balancing solidity with moments of softness.
Designed to respond to both climate and context, passive principles are embedded throughout. Deep overhangs, cross-ventilation and filtered light conditions allow the home to perform quietly, without reliance on overt technological intervention.
Internally, the planning prioritises clarity and flow. Living spaces are deliberately resolved, avoiding excess while maintaining a strong sense of generosity. The architecture supports daily life without competing with it.
Dohori House has been recognised both locally and internationally. The project was recently featured in the Australian Financial Review’s Domain Prestige magazine and shortlisted for House of the Year on global architecture platform ArchDaily.
It has also achieved a record sale result for the area, reflecting both its architectural quality and enduring market appeal.
