By Justin Humphrey Architects
Bayside House is a brutalist and sculpted response to both brief and site.
Rich and tactile materials form a series of spaces that are about the rituals of daily living, generational connection, landscape and art in equal measure.
A lower floor of formed concrete and charred timber elegantly curve together to curate arrival, privacy and prospect. Above this floats a visually lighter level of weathering steel, local hardwood timber and tropical gardens.
Sight lines through the house to landscape, water and art are carefully regulated while engaging connections are created vertically through sculpted concrete voids.
Location: Yugambeh Country.
Status: Construction to begin 2022.
Project Team: Justin Humphrey & Brittney Towse.
We are a transparent architecture practice aimed at crafting sculptural solutions that strengthen the connection between people and the land on which they live.
We like to engage clients in all stages of the design process and be open about our design thinking. This tends to achieve a project direction that all parties are excited about and feel they have ownership of.
Our rigorous testing and design process results in strong solutions that are both highly functional and beautiful. We prefer warm, honest & tactile materials and always strive to create a strong connection with the landscape context of our projects. It is also important for us to design in consideration with local built form and history. This produces rich projects that are very much part of their place.
