Blackwood Revival:

A Heritage Restoration by The Art of Space

Welcome to Our Heritage Renovation Journey

I am pleased to introduce Blackwood House, a current project that beautifully illustrates the complexities and rewards of heritage restoration. This property, once renowned in the neighborhood for its elaborate Halloween displays and its weathered, timeworn appearance, has long captured the community’s notice as a local landmark. Through thoughtful design and careful preservation, we aim to honor its storied past while reimagining it as a functional, timeless home for modern living.

This project not only reflects our commitment to thoughtful restoration but also provides an opportunity to share insights into the creative and technical challenges of working with a historic property.

Follow the Journey

Over the next eighteen months, this renovation will progress in carefully planned stages, each representing a critical step in the evolution of the home. Updates will be shared intermittently as we reach key milestones.

Below, you will find links to the different phases of the project—check back as each new chapter is documented.

Blackwood Revival: The Beginning

Nestled in an inner Brisbane suburb, Blackwood House is a century-old worker’s cottage with a storied past. Once known locally as The Halloween House due to its elaborate displays and timeworn facade, it is now the focus of a thoughtful restoration that honors its history while embracing modern living. Join us as we take on the challenges of reviving this heritage home, preserving its character, and reimagining it for the future.
