A gravity-defying Toowoomba mansion named the best home in Queensland was an architectural and construction triumph that took meticulous planning to even achieve.

The $5m home on Fletcher Street, which was completed early this year, took out the top spot on the Courier-Mail’s list of the 50 best homes of 2022.

It comes after it cleaned up at the Darling Downs and South West Master Builders Awards in July.

The Joe Adsett Architects-designed house has several distinct features, including 30m of continuous windows and doors to create unobstructed views of the Lockyer Valley.

It also includes a 7m-long concrete cantilever stretching out over the escarpment, an infinity pool and an outdoor fireplace.

Co-director Emily Valdal said the sheer angle of the slope made normally straightforward elements of the build quite difficult.
