The Home
Queens Road is JDL's major transformation of a prestige home in Hamilton, Brisbane. It's the project we point to when people ask what our team can do with a complex brief and a client who knew exactly what they wanted.
If you're thinking of building a custom new home or considering a major renovation, come and see the quality and meticulous detail of a JDL build.
Character features kept and restored, paired with a modern build. Old and new, sitting together seamlessly.
Joinery, finishes, the small decisions that never make it into a photo. This is the one chance to see them in person.
Your guided tour will explain the before-and-after for every room, plus the thinking behind the decisions that mattered most.
Your Hosts
You'll be shown through by Kieran, JDL's director, and Ray, founder of Story+Lab and the lead designer behind Queens Road.
The two worked closely with the client from start to finish, the same way JDL and Story+Lab approach every project: design and construction considered side by side, not handed off in stages. It's part of why this build has been exceptional.
Between them, they know this house better than anyone, so - bring your questions!
What you'll actually get
Most new custom home and major renovation content is theory: mood boards, floor-plans and social media. Queens Road is finished. A considered, room-by-room transformation of a prestige Hamilton residence into a modern family home, built end to end by JDL and designed by Story+Lab.
Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to know when specific walkthrough dates are confirmed, ahead of any public announcement. Groups stay small, so you can look closely: the joinery, how the original design sits against the new work, the finishes chosen and why. Our team will be there in person to answer your questions.
There's no pitch and no obligation. Just a finished home, opened briefly, for homeowners who want to see what a considered transformation looks like before they start their own journey.
Don't delay, a strictly limited number of groups will get to see it.
*A note on access
Queens Road is a private home, and the owners have kindly opened it for a small group. For their security, we may ask you to provide identification before entry — either in advance of the event or on arrival. Details are sighted for verification only and are not retained after the event.
