Virginia House
Virginia House continues our exploration into domestic entry sequences. Layers of privacy and security from the street are achieved through finely detailed screening and cascading landscape. The site is hemmed in on both sides with privacy and outlook needing to be moderated very carefully. The living areas wrap around an eastern double-height outdoor landscape courtyard.
A masonry screen defines this space at a higher level, allowing sun and local bird life to flood the courtyard while maintaining privacy. The house then flows out towards the northern water outlook and views towards the hinterland. Concrete, natural stone and timber provide an elegant and tactile set of materials throughout the house.
Location: Yugambeh 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.
