It is difficult to imagine a more challenging site on which to build a family home.
But for owners David Toussant and UQ Architecture PhD student Kirsty Volz, the slender 317sq m parcel of land abutting the train line at Clayfield was precisely what they had been searching for.
“We bought it from Queensland Rail for a steal, an incredibly cheap block of land for Clayfield,” Kirsty says.
“I guess a lot of people thought building on it was just too hard. We thought, ‘We can afford that!’ ”
