Black Wattle House
By Justin Humphrey Architects
Black Wattle House is a beach house that knows how to have fun.
Daily rituals, patterns of movement and relaxation are different when staying at the beach. Priorities shift. The entry sequence with surfboard under arm and juggling sandy beach toys is given extra consideration. So too is the sun position in the morning for that coffee while watching bush turkeys scramble up a tuckeroo.
A robust material selection is required this close to the surf. Masonry, fibre cement and beautiful Australian hardwood. An organic ribbon of screening wraps around the top floor to moderate privacy and breeze.
Location: Bundjalung Country.
Status: Construction to begin 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.
