East Brisbane House.

ArchiPro Project Summary - East Brisbane House: A sculptural residence cascading down a steep site, featuring a rammed earth wall that enhances views, privacy, and movement, perfectly situated on the banks of the Brisbane River.

Title:: East Brisbane House
Architect:: Justin Humphrey Architects
Category:: Planning/; Renders
Photographers:: Justin Humphrey Architects

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.

Justin Humphrey Architects. Justin Humphrey Architects is a Gold Coast-based studio creating considered architecture that enhances how people live, using honest materials that age gracefully while responding authentically to place and climate. There's always room for tangible daily delight — the unexpected moment, the playful gesture. A space that makes you pause. We believe every project, regardless of scale or budget, can deliver these moments through sculptural functionality that uplifts daily routines. Thoughtful design becomes part of the everyday experience. Our process is inherently collaborative. We value genuine relationships with our clients and team. We take time getting to know the people we design for, understanding not just what they want or need but how they live. Our architecture gives occupants agency over their environment. Opportunities for connection to landscape, climate, and community, but always with the choice to retreat. We design spaces that connect with breezes, views, and natural light, breathing with their environment rather than relying on mechanical systems. We’re Registered Architects in QLD, NSW and VIC. We welcome all enquiries, no matter where you are.
