Lamb House, Kangaroo Point

Home, previously known as Lamb House, is regarded as one of Brisbane’s most distinguished forms of Queen Anne-styled architecture. A highly anticipated rescue, restoration and renewal project, this is a rare surviving example of a grand, intact Federation period residence. Home’s combination of flamboyant architectural style and its prominent position high on the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, overlooking the Brisbane River and the city, make it an important architectural symbol of the turn of the century Brisbane.

The house remained in the ownership of Lamb Family for 100 years until its new owners, Steve and Jane Wilson, took ownership in 2021. Over the past decade, Home was uninhabited and left to rapidly decay. This spectacular Federation-era home is affectionately known as ‘Home’ and will be brought back from the brink of destruction by its new owners and a dedicated conservation team of architects overseen by JDA & Co, builders and specialist heritage trades. Sophie Hart Studio will be working closely with Jane and Steve to create an interior worthy of this history and local connection whist updating the property to work and function in today’s modern world
