The initial brief for this residence was clear: to craft a warm and inviting home that felt as though it had evolved over time, reflecting the suburban charm and storied character of its surroundings. Through a collaborative design process and a shared commitment to craftsmanship, the result is an architectural masterpiece that blends seamlessly into the streetscape, exuding a timeless sense of belonging.
Positioned on a tranquil, tree-lined street adjacent to Lake Monger / Galup, the home celebrates the enduring principles of mid-century design. Its casual elegance and breezy functionality perfectly suited to Perth's beachside lifestyle.
Guided by the simplicity and practicality of mid-century ethos, the home incorporates extensive built-in features, creating an immediate sense of comfort and liveability. Material selections honour the history of the site, balancing nostalgia with a fresh, contemporary interpretation.
The façade is a study in texture and tone, combining timber cladding, pressed tin, and salvaged bricks from the original house. A deep, honey-toned timber establishes the home's warm material palette, echoed in the new brickwork and custom cabinetry for a cohesive aesthetic.
Inside, the main living area is a visual and functional triumph. Marble flooring runs throughout, offering a luxurious foundation, while subtle elevation changes-such as a few steps delineating the TV area from the kitchen and dining space - enhancing the spatial flow. The kitchen itself features marble surfaces and seamless cabinetry, emphasizing understated sophistication.
Designed with passive solar principles in mind, the north-facing living area is bathed in natural light through expansive floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and highlight windows. These oversized doors open onto the terrace and pool, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces to create a quintessential family retreat.
The surrounding garden mirrors the architectural intent of the home-a meticulously curated, low-maintenance space with a mix of sculptural plants for structure, screening greenery, and nods to 1970s flora that ground the design in its historical context.
