Fishermans Cottage

Fishermans Cottage is a second chance for an old Queensland workers cottage. Located on a quiet street in the small beachside town of Emu Park this raised cottage is perfectly positioned to capture the beautiful coastal breezes on offer. The old cottage still breathes with the existing hardwood joists and trusses forming the bones of this build. Large open decks envelop the living quarters whilst the lineaboard cladding & casement windows conceal it. A new layout opens this floor plan up with multiple indoor/outdoor connections creating a more inviting sense. This beautiful highset workers cottage is the old cottage reimagined with a built form that is reminiscent of it predecessors era. Quirky finishes and little nooks throughout keep you guessing. A modern yet quaint home this workers cottage is straight out of the 1920’s.
