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.
Location: Yugambeh Country.
Status: Construction to begin 2022.
Project Team: Justin Humphrey & Jacob Hough.
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.
