East Brisbane House is positioned on a beautiful but steeply sloping site on the edge of the Brisbane River. The house is proposed as a series of spaces that cascade gently down following the site contours alongside a singular organising element – a sculptural rammed earth wall. This wall curates views and privacy, guides movement and aids orientation within the house. The delicate but structured layers of textured warm earth promote a close awareness of your relationship to site as you move down through the house and we think it’s perfect for a project on the banks of the river. Location: Turrbal Country. Status: Construction to begin 2022. Project Team: Justin Humphrey & Tim Cornish.

“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.”
