Bisley Place House | James Russell Architect
http://jrarch.com.au/project/bisley-place-house
Winding through the estate on a 35-degree day, streets are empty, but the mechanical hum of air- conditioners murmurs in the air, a sound sustaining the people concealed in houses on either side. The insular hot boxes germane to estates are not the fault of builders and property owners. Covenant writers those charged with maintaining the consistency of the estate prescribe minimum total floor area, garage space, façade materials, and roof pitch. Curtains are drawn to enclose space or redefine thresholds.

Christian Street House | James Russell Architect
http://jrarch.com.au/project/christian-street-house
We are fortunate to live with a benign subtropical climate. Christian Street House in Clayfield, an inner north suburb of Brisbane, sits on the east side of a rolling hill, opening its face to the morning sun and bay breezes. It’s back is buried in the hill, protected from the harsh summer sun, storms and winter westerlies. Timber sits on a heavy concrete and brick base making cave spaces that are cut in to the ground towards the rear of the site. Masonry is used to hold back earth, make a quiet spac...

Boston Street House | James Russell Architect
http://jrarch.com.au/project/boston-street-house
Boston Street House is an alteration of and addition to a 1992 brick-and-tile builder’s special. The project demonstrates that a home located in a developer’s estate with significant challenges, such as a western orientation & minimal garden can benefit from small and humble interventions by architects. Now, a simple structure on the street protects the cars, the two-story brick bay has been removed, and a number of small openings joined to form a large aperture at the rear. Similar brick was used to alt...

Brookes Street House | James Russell Architect
http://jrarch.com.au/project/brookes-street-house
Nestled between two 19th-century state-heritage-listed buildings in Fortitude Valley, the Brookes Street house is a modern, raw, cubby-like home for a family of four. A major challenge in constructing the project was to create a secure and green inner sanctum amidst the chaos of two major arterial roads that link the city of Brisbane. The site was initially a tract of car-parking space wedged between the listed buildings. The site’s total width is a narrow 5.6 metres. Above the living areas are the sleep...

Raven Street House | James Russell Architect
http://jrarch.com.au/project/raven-street-house
There is a boat from my childhood,. Which inspires many of my projects. In that boat I felt cradled and protected, but if I chose, I could open up to and be aware of the broader context around me. Raven Street House is an alteration of and addition to a traditional worker’s cottage in the inner Brisbane suburb of West End. Like. It is protective of the owner’s young family and artwork but creates a greater awareness of the country surrounding the structure. Coloured, textured glass lines east and west bo...

Brookes Street Office North | James Russell Architect
http://jrarch.com.au/project/brookes-street-office-north
Brookes Street Office North. Brookes Street Office North is grafted to the northern corner of a 19th-century heritage-listed Methodist Church in the busy inner-city suburb of Fortitude Valley. The idea embraces the neighbourhood of which it has become a part. It is a model for occupation of inner-city voids. We work under an open sky; we gather on the edge of the lane and read and drink within the ground. I work with the sun warming my back and a breeze across my contented face. The open deck and adjustm...
