Dating back to the 1880s, the building has had many identities - 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- echoing the building's scale, material palette, and rhythm to create a respectful architectural dialogue between old and new.
"We aimed to honour the building's original character - sandstone brick walls, ornate windows, timber joists, and brick fireplaces - while clarifying the space and removing unnecessary elements," said Jesse Lockhart-Krause [https://www.lockhartkrause.com.au/team], director of LKA. "The result is a place that is grounded in its history but significantly improves function and amenities for the people within."
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 - 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.
The success of the project depended on close collaboration [https://www.lockhartkrause.com.au/journal/344-btc-commercial-fitout-coordinated-design-for-a-community-focused-health-hub] with the client, builder, and many consultants, with the client reflecting:
"Lockhart-Krause Architects supported us from start to finish. They were great collaborators - their vision allowed a project we could have never imagined, adding significant value."

The project adds to the firm's growing project portfolio [https://www.lockhartkrause.com.au/projects] across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania, and reflects its ethos of human-centred, collaborative design.
"Good architecture is about teamwork," said Jesse Lockhart-Krause. "We're always keen to connect with like-minded clients, consultants, and collaborators."
