BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA, June 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- dion seminara architecture has delivered a range of high-quality residential projects in Auchenflower, a suburb celebrated for its heritage streetscapes, sloping sites, and architectural diversity. One standout project is the renovation of a National Trust-listed home, where modern living was seamlessly woven into a historically significant structure.
“Auchenflower homes often come with legacy, charm, and constraints,” said Director Dion Seminara. “Our role is to honour the past while designing for the present and future.”
The firm’s experience in Auchenflower includes:
• Renovations to heritage and character homes
• Site-sensitive planning for steep and irregular blocks
• Extensions and reconfigurations that respect historical detail
• Landscape design and outdoor space integration

In the National Trust project, the team maintained the integrity of the original structure while introducing new spaces for living, entertaining, and family connection. The home now offers improved flow, modern amenities, and thoughtful connections to the outdoors, all without compromising its heritage character.
“Our clients in Auchenflower want timeless design with real livability,” said Dion. “That’s what we aim to deliver —homes that tell a story and serve a purpose.”
