The Cove House | Justin Humphrey Architects
The Cove House, designed by Justin Humphrey Architects, is a robust yet elegant new residence in a waterside suburb south of Brisbane. It is a rich and tactile exploration of thresholds and edges. An off-form curved concrete wall invites you in past a delicate timber-batten screen and through a series of landscaped courtyards through to the water beyond. Indoor and outdoor spaces are given the same priority within a house that connects its inhabitants strongly at all times to both water and garden.

34 Restaurant | REM’A
34 Restaurant, designed by REM’A, has characteristics of the old venue – intimate, with green and wooden elements that confer the restaurant its own identity. This condition drove the team to explore an aesthetic-spatial concept that implied a deconstructed approach from the “art nouveau” movement. From chromatic characteristics to the curved/ondulating and asymmetric forms that shape the spaces, instead of the “intertwined” elements so typical of this artistic movement, as well as the use of plants, all of which are detached from the project’s structural elements.
REM’A
REM’A is an architectural practice based in Rua da Arcela headed by Romeo Ribeiro, José Pedro Marques & Pavlo Dobrovolskyi.
