Seaside House features robust masonry, lightweight timber screening, and a connection to the landscape with a sun terrace and pool, designed to withstand coastal conditions while evoking the charm of the original home.

Robust and warm masonry layers down low encourage a relaxed return from the beach where sandy feet aren’t a problem.

Lightweight paddle-pop timber screening and polycarbonate moderate views and privacy from the street, while warm timber lines the kids sleep-out balcony.

Always connected to landscape, Seaside House opens up to a bricked sun terrace and pool at the rear.

Pops of colour evoke memories of the original house while galvanised steel awnings and window surrounds respond to the harsh coastal environment and will patina over time.

Professional Reviews

“We engaged Justin Humphrey Architects to design our home on the Gold Coast. From the start, they truly listened. Not just to our vision and ideas, but to how we live, our routines, and how we enjoy our space. That personal approach set the tone for everything that followed. They challenged and enriched our brief, incorporating strategies to maximise natural light and breezes that make the home both beautiful and functional. We love entertaining in our north-facing indoor/outdoor living areas, with views to the Surfers Paradise skyline. The large openings along the side of the home create a seamless connection to the beautifully landscaped gardens. They managed the complexity of the build with professionalism and clear communication, working seamlessly with consultants and trades. Since we moved in, the team has continued to be incredibly supportive, helping us maintain and preserve the quality of our home. We really valued the collaborative relationship and wouldn’t hesitate to work with the JHA team again.”
