Justin Humphrey Architect is a design-focused architecture and interiors practice based on the Gold Coast.
From large private houses to small renovations, we approach each project with an open mind and desire to create site-responsive, functional, considered and exciting spaces designed to enrich the lives of our clients.
Collaboration with our clients and builders is central to how we work, and allows us to deliver exceptional and tailored projects that respond to both brief and budget.
We are a small practice which allows us to guide projects personally from an initial sketch idea through to completion.
Our design process is driven by considered design ideas, rigour & the tangible value of great architecture. We believe in the need to understand the personal and complex detail of daily life. We believe that great design can improve the way we live.
