A Renovated Brisbane Worker’s Cottage 10 Years In The Making

Vokes and Peters director and architect Aaron Peters and his family moved into this Brisbane worker’s cottage almost a decade ago, and they’ve been renovating it ever since.

But this paved the way for a slow and steady approach, allowing them to focus on their bushy backyard, before creating an enchanting living space right on the edge of the garden.
