East Brisbane House banner

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.

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.
