Reverse Living Townhomes in Wooloowin | Florence & Lucienne

Written by Cedar Woods | Sep 8, 2025 11:00:00 PM

In the historic heart of Wooloowin, two unique townhomes designs - Florence and Lucienne, are turning tradition on its head.

Designed with reverse living in mind, these Greville residences offer elevated, light-filled living upstairs and peaceful, private bedrooms below. But that’s only the beginning.

Set on leafy Merehaye Street, the Florence and Lucienne townhomes enjoy private street access and city glimpses for selected homes, rare luxuries just 5km from the Brisbane CBD. It’s a perspective on city living that’s as smart as it is stylish. 

What Is Reverse Living? 

Reverse living (also called upside-down living) places your kitchen, dining and living spaces, as well as your primary bedroom and ensuite, on the upper level, allowing them to capture natural light, cooling breezes and elevated outlooks. Secondary bedrooms and the main bathroom are thoughtfully located downstairs, creating peaceful zones for rest and retreat—neatly separated from the activity of upstairs living. 

At Greville, this thoughtful layout is brought to life through contemporary design and timeless materials that honour Wooloowin’s classic Queenslander charm. 

Why Reverse Living Works So Well at Greville 

Florence and Lucienne are designed to make the most of Brisbane’s climate, city proximity and Greville’s prized location:

  • Private Street Access Access from Merehaye Street 
    With direct access to Merehaye Street, these homes offer the convenience of stepping straight out your front door and into the neighbourhood, blending townhouse living with a true street-front presence. 
  • Natural Light & Breezes 
    Elevated living areas mean better cross-ventilation and a brighter, airier feel, perfect for our subtropical lifestyle. 
  • Peaceful Bedrooms Below

Both homes are beautifully finished and feature open-plan living, generous balconies, and timeless materials inspired by Wooloowin’s heritage streetscapes, each with two carparks, including a double lock-up garage in Florence and a combination of garage and carport in Lucienne, ensuring flexibility, functionality and easy day-to-day living. 

Florence and Lucienne represent a fresh way to live in one of Brisbane’s most connected, character-rich neighbourhoods.
