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.

“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.”
