Baby Burt Residence
This distinctly modern home in North Perth is an exemplar for design that centres the lifestyle and personalities of the clients. Bold without being intrusive, the geometrically striking upper storey is softened with a curved batten façade that harbours a balcony plant, offering both privacy and a connection to nature for the upstairs living area. […]
Hay St Terraces
Having previously been altered for commercial purposes, the Hay St Terraces project sees the key heritage fabric of the building maintained and enhanced, while reinstating the original purpose: two residential homes. By directing works through the previous alterations, it has been possible to reimagine the interiors in a modern context, with open living spaces and […]
North Fremantle Residence
This former print factory starts a new chapter as a residential refuge amongst the well-known North Fremantle industrial atmosphere. The existence of the building’s former life is evident in the use of structural trusses that guide the roof angle and allow for factory-style high windows. The soft light created through this highlights the clever use […]
Trigg Residence
This family residence on a prominent corner in the beachside suburb of Trigg was conceived as an inviting summer house. The home’s design contrasts a dramatic multi-level form with refined, high-quality internal detailing to create a sophisticated tranquil sanctuary for its discerning owners. The expansive, ground level entry hall features a dramatic floating staircase with […]
Artplace Gallery and Residence
Brigitte Braun, a passionate promoter of local artists, followed the same philosophy when commissioning a contemporary new gallery, Artplace. It was a bold move for Brigitte, moving an established, larger Claremont art gallery into Perth’s inner-city. The compact Northbridge site proved an interesting challenge for both the client and the architect. To compensate for this, […]
Yokine Residence
This designer home in Yokine is opposite a big, well-maintained reserve. It’s a wonderfully relaxing outlook, so we wanted our design to frame this natural vista in the best-possible way. The site itself presented one major challenge; it was only 10 metres wide. So how the house maximised the available land was absolutely crucial to […]
Yallingup Residence
This modern Quindalup family home is close to the popular south-western coastal town of Yallingup. It’s perched on a ridge overlooking a vineyard, rugged natural bushland and with stunning views of nearby Geographe Bay. Naturally, our client wanted to make the most of this spectacular outlook, and so our design was essentially a linear layout […]
Wembley Residence
This two storey Wembley residence is next to Lake Monger and faces east towards the city. Our design took into account both the client’s request to capitalise on these views and the character of the surrounding area. The solution was a largely L-shaped configuration which placed the main outdoor living area on the northern side […]
Bicton Residence
This family residence atop Bicton’s Blackwall Reach reflects its river’s edge environment and the ‘enhanced living’ aspirations of its owners. The architectural challenges of cutting into the hillside and maximising views were critical to the success of this project. A rusticated limestone base, along with the extensive use of natural timber and stone, give the […]
Swanbourne Residence
This split-level Swanbourne residence was designed on a site with rather challenging topography. Nonetheless, our design proudly fronts the street in order to capitalise on the northern views to a park. Access to the house is across a timber bridge and through a wooden door which opens into a dramatic two-storey entry void. The architecture […]
