Builders to the stars reveal latest jawdropping Brisbane project

Andrew and Rob Gray build homes for some of Brisbane’s biggest stars, so it’s no wonder their latest masterpiece has got tongues wagging.

Builder brothers, Rob and Andrew Gray, of Graya Construction have teamed up with emerging developer, Frank Developments, to create their biggest project to date.

The luxury home, named Laurént, has just hit the market in one of Paddington’s most sought-after streets.

Graya Construction and Frank Developments director Frank Licastro bought the property at 44 Reading Street last year when it was just a quaint, three-bedroom Queenslander.

They have completely redesigned and rebuilt it to represent one of Paddington’s most iconic homes.

The six-bedroom, five-bathroom residence has a four-level internal lift, providing access from the five-car basement car park to the rooftop sky garden terrace.

There’s also a family-sized pool, smart home technology, an electric car charger and city views.

Frank Developments director Frank Licastro said the team “pushed the bar” on a lot of features within the house.

“Having four levels with an internal lift which goes to your own private rooftop, plus we also turned the lift into a feature — it’s actually a glass enclosure on the ground floor so you can see out to the garden,” Mr Licastro said.

“Having a basement in Paddington is quite rare.

“And we’ve really stepped it up with the technology.”

The Control4 home automation system controls the lighting, security, access, audio and technology within the home using voice activation that can be used anywhere in the world via smartphone, iPad or smartwatch.

The property is for sale via an expressions of interest campaign through Matt Lancashire and Josh Brown of Ray White – New Farm.

Graya Construction recently sold one of their projects at 33 Rockbourne Tce, Paddington, to model, Erin McNaught and her rapper husband, Example.

They have also built homes for Broncos captain Darius Boyd and his wife, Kayla, former Wallabies’ captain Stephen Moore and Channel 9 presenter Alison Ariotti.

The Boyds’ four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 78 Harding St, Hendra, is currently for sale and is expected to fetch a price in the early $2 million range.
