Points North House
By Justin Humphrey Architects
A house that perches lightly and cantilevers out towards the valley below.
Points North House is sited on a steeply sloping block in Bundjalung Country and looks north out towards the MacPherson Ranges.
A singular masonry spine anchors the house to site while allowing it to perch lightly and cantilever out towards the valley below. The spine also acts as an organising element, with the house splitting either side to allow northerly aspect and views from both upper and lower living levels.
Materials chosen are robust, modest and sensitive to the bushfire constraints of site while making every effort to connect our client to her beautiful bushland setting.
Location: Bundjalung 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.
