Points North House: A striking residence on Bundjalung Country, featuring a unique masonry spine that elegantly cantilevers towards the valley, maximizing views and natural light while adhering to bushfire safety requirements.

A house that perches lightly and cantilevers out towards the valley below.

Points North House is sited on a steeply sloping block in Bundjalung Country and looks north out towards the MacPherson Ranges.

A singular masonry spine anchors the house to site while allowing it to perch lightly and cantilever out towards the valley below. The spine also acts as an organising element, with the house splitting either side to allow northerly aspect and views from both upper and lower living levels.

Materials chosen are robust, modest and sensitive to the bushfire constraints of site while making every effort to connect our client to her beautiful bushland setting.

Location: Bundjalung Country.

Status: Construction to be completed 2022.

Project Team: Justin Humphrey & Sam Merrett.

Professional Reviews

“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.”
