The Bunyip House.

ArchiPro Project Summary - The Bunyip House: A thoughtfully designed family home that fosters connection with its landscaped courtyard, enhancing natural light and airflow while maintaining a harmonious balance between private and public spaces.

Title:: The Bunyip House
Architect:: Justin Humphrey Architects
Category:: Planning/; Renders
Photographers:: Justin Humphrey Architects

The Bunyip House is a simple house with simple ideas.

The house has been designed for a local family to connect to landscape, site and each other.

Hemmed in by neighbours the house turns its attention inwards to a landscaped courtyard that all daily activities will revolve around. The courtyard acts to bring natural light and prevailing breezes deep within the house.

Various rooms with various uses occupy the courtyard edge which allows a variation of engagement with the landscaping.

View lines are created across the courtyard while distinct separation between private and public spaces is maintained

A material palette of local hardwood, cement sheet and concrete provide a rich and earthy context.

Location: Yugambeh Country.

Status: Construction to be completed 2021.

Project Team: Justin Humphrey, Clint Latch & Jacob Hough.

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.
