Joe Adsett Architects

Based in Brisbane, Joe Adsett Architects designs luxury single-family residences defined by sweeping curved perimeters, heavy board-formed concrete cantilevers, and structural ledges integrated with cascading vegetation. This work offers a clear precedent when detailing continuous edge planters on cantilevered overhangs, integrating organic sky cutouts into concrete roof slabs, or resolving custom sculptural millwork for high-end coastal sites.

Interior and exterior open-plan living area with a stone kitchen island, sliding glass walls, and a cutout roof terrace by Joe Adsett Architects.

Haze

A high-end residential precedent demonstrating seamless indoor-outdoor integration via flush-threshold sliding glass and a continuous stone-and-timber palette.

What we like about this project
An organic curved cutout in the cantilevered roof slab frames the sky directly above the exterior terrace.

Geometry
An expansive open-plan layout connecting an indoor kitchen and living zone directly to an outdoor covered terrace and lawn through wide sliding glass pockets.
Facade system
Frameless or minimal-frame sliding glass panels opening into wall pockets.
Structural guess
Post-and-beam concrete or steel frame supporting wide-span roof overhangs with minimal intermediate columns.
Spatial scale
Generous open-plan proportions with high ceilings and wide spans suited for luxury residential living.
Lighting
Bright ambient daylight floods the exterior terrace and lawn, while the deep interior relies on soft, balanced natural light and subtle artificial accents.
Atmosphere
Serene, luminous, and expansive, balancing warm timber and stone textures with open-air views.
Environmental context
A modern residence with a lush lawn, exterior terrace, and sweeping views of a distant city skyline and mature trees.
Spatial experience
The boundary between inside and outside is dissolved by flush floor finishes and pocketing glass walls, extending the living space seamlessly toward the distant skyline.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal layers of stone, timber panels, and glass framing direct sightlines outward to the landscape.
