The Cottage
By Justin Humphrey Architects
This renovation of an existing low-set brick and tile house in Burleigh is all about reconnecting with its suburban context.
The existing roofline is dynamic but needed reconfiguring to add much-needed natural light deep into living spaces.
It’s a bold splash of colour but a respectful nod to the character of the original house.
Being a corner block, layers of screening and landscape carefully regulate connection and privacy with both streets. Space on the edge of the block is given back to the street with a spot for neighbours to catch up while watching kids play.
Location: Yugambeh Country.
Status: Construction to be completed 2022.
Project Team: Justin Humphrey & Jacob Hough.

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.
