Corso House MK II
By Justin Humphrey Architects
This materially rich house is designed to make the most of its sub-tropical location.
Privacy is maintained from the street through layers of screening and landscape that surround the cobbled forecourt. A scalloped and curved concrete form pushes out towards the street engaging with the neighbourhood with planting spilling down the textured wall.
Once visitors pass beneath the planted concrete awning, the water views reveal themselves slowly as you pass through a series of living spaces. This house plan is arranged to encourage prevailing breezes to pass through interior spaces that are rich with natural light.
Screening on the first floor shifts dynamically according to required function. Upper screen folds allow views to the sky and tree canopy, while lower folds reveal garden views while maintaining privacy.
Location: Yugambeh Country.
Status: Construction to be completed 2022.
Project Team: Justin Humphrey & Sam Merrett.

About the
Professional
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.
We’re Registered Architects in QLD & NSW. We welcome all enquiries, no matter where you are.
