A thoughtful renovation of a low-set brick and tile house in Burleigh, enhancing natural light and community connection while respecting the original character, completed in 2022 by Justin Humphrey & Jacob Hough.
This renovation of an existing low-set brick and tile house in Burleigh is all about reconnecting with its suburban context.
The existing roofline is dynamic but needed reconfiguring to add much-needed natural light deep into living spaces.
It’s a bold splash of colour but a respectful nod to the character of the original house.
Being a corner block, layers of screening and landscape carefully regulate connection and privacy with both streets. Space on the edge of the block is given back to the street with a spot for neighbours to catch up while watching kids play.
“The house is a very intentional reflection of who we are and how we live, so there’s such an ease and joy how we occupy the space”
