Taking full advantage of the stunning ocean vista, the open plan kitchen, living and dining area is located on the upper level of the home, with an expansive terrace that opens up via bi-folding doors to almost double the space. The contemporary architecture of the home has been softened by an excellent choice of quality natural materials that perfectly complement the coastal tones.

Working closely with Iliadis Architects & Mondo Landscapes the pool has been constructed above ground in a unique design which separates it from the house by a ‘moat’, alleviating the requirement for extensive fencing and allowing the exceptional beauty of the pool to be fully appreciated without obstruction. The moat contains feature lighting which highlights the shimmering glass mosaic tiles that cover the entire outer wall of the pool along with the water as it cascades over the infinity edge. Carefully placed river stones conceal the drain at the bottom of the moat which feeds water back into the pool. At the entry to the pool area is a raised decked cabana where the owners can lounge and enjoy the illusion created by the pool’s fully tiled interior that the…

Kensington Design’s solution was to keep the original four room cottage and add a new two-storey addition to the rear, connected to the original cottage via a two-storey void that contains the new, yet traditional, staircase and floods light into this central space. Throughout the home quaint details reflect the original era of the home, including timber detailing and period tapware and furniture hardware in the kitchen. A neutral palette of polished jarrah floorboards and crisp white cabinetry has allowed bright splashes of colour to be introduced in the interior styling. Despite the open plan design of the living, dining and kitchen area, the sunken lounge area has been made to feel cozy through separation with a low wall, a recycled brick fireplace and traditional styled built in bookshelves that…

The boldly coloured glass entry door is the first of many architectural surprises in this home. With clean geometrical lines and a palette of black timber and gloss white cabinetry the kitchen / dining area has somewhat of an industrial look and feel, added to by a unique custom made geometric iron balustrading to the staircase and upper void. This is softened however by the view to the warm timber clad ceiling on the upper level living space that separates the master suite at the front of the home complete with terrace, from the secondary bedrooms on the other side. With an incredible outdoor entertaining area, complete with a fire pit, spa, pool and built in timber decked seating - all positioned to take in the stunning ocean views, it’s…

No design and construction project is without its challenges, but when your brief is to take a heritage listed building and modify it to meet the needs of today’s modern family, challenges are an inevitable reality. Perhaps that is why this Tallwood Constructions project in North Fremantle is so special. Despite the considerable challenges the resulting home is impressive in every way. A delight to its owners and to the industry, who awarded it the 2016 HIA Award for WA Renovation / Addition Project of the Year.

TECElux is the toilet terminal for all toilet functions of today—and tomorrow. Press and flush was yesterday. The toilet of today can do so much more: Rinse and blow dry, purify the air, and flush automatically. But often, the aesthetics are sacrificed for other benefits. TECE has now created a form that unites all functions. TECElux places the system components behind the wall, where they are invisible. An extremely flat glass facing closes the inspection opening and conceals the cistern. The connections for water and power are concealed behind the glass facing as well as optional odour trap and height adjustments. Features of the TECElux include: ■ LED “sen-Touch” flushing system-the buttons illuminate as you approach the terminal & flush operates electronically ■ An invisible “ceramic-Air” air freshening/odour extracting device…

Positioned in Cottesloe, the vision for the home was to create a modern interpretation of the beach shack, utilising a neutral palette of natural materials that would enhance the beauty of its ocean-side location. Working with a narrow block of only 10m and a site with a four meter drop from front to back, exceptional design initiatives have delivered a home that despite the limitations of the site is not only functional but architecturally stunning. Two buildings separate the sleeping and living zones and are connected by a gallery walkway and central courtyard that allow the home to take in an abundance of natural light and views of the surrounding pine trees. The front of the home houses the bedrooms, and privacy and energy efficiency has been added via 140…

Overcoming obstacles to meet a client’s brief and deliver a beautiful home is the testament of both skill and experience and in this case the outcome is a true credit to builders, Artique Homes who ticked all the boxes on the client’s wish list and then some. Blending traditional Australian Colonial style features such as bull-nosed verandahs, frieze work and timber battened gables with a light ‘Hampton’s style’ palette of natural materials that includes cream feature stone and white painted balustrading the home has a lovely classical elegance.

Working with designers DTDA, Cassari Group have excelled in transforming a compact home into a functional spacious residence whilst still retaining “Leederville” character and charm.…

Designed by Chindarsi Architects, the build presented more than a few challenges. Working with a restricted building site surrounded by completed homes and in close proximity to the Swan River, there were stringent height restrictions so as to not obstruct the view of any of the neighbouring homes. Withstanding the obstacles the stunning home is a stand out amongst more contemporary homes, with a grand entry positioned at the centre of extensive floor to ceiling windows, hinting at the luxury that lies beyond. A chandelier suspended from a skylight in the upper floor void creates an opulent entry foyer. And setting the tone of American southern-styleglamour, is the detailed timberwork that features throughout the entire home including stunning parquetry flooring on the lower level and extensive wainscoting and ornate timber…

Having previously built their expansive, traditionally styled home in Dalkeith, the clients were very familiar with the process. This time however they wanted something quite different. With grownup children and young grandchildren, a compact low-maintenance contemporary home was the brief. Something that was minimalist in design but with unique architectural features, finished with quality materials but with an open and airy feeling, that would still provide sufficient room to comfortably entertain the whole family. With finalised architectural drawings, the owners contracted Maughan Building Co to see their vision for their new home come to life. After working for many years with other leading luxury home builders in Perth, owner and builder Rob Maughan started Maughan Building Co in 2008. And it’s his personalised service and commitment to exceptional standards that…

The inspiration for this beautiful home came from a recent trip to Europe taken by Maughan Building Co, Builder & Director, Rob Maughan, in fact the design concept has been laid over an original photo taken by Maughan at Lake Como. Talking about the aspect of his travels that inspired him, Maughan recalls, “I had a gap in projects and thankfully my travel agent convinced me to take a tour from Rome through to Venice as it was a trip that supercharged my sensors! Rome is the most incredible place I’d ever been, the people, the food & of course the architecture are unbelievable. The trip took in Cinque Terre - “God’s Country” I call it, an eclectic bunch of buildings that somehow complement each other to form a beautiful…

Situated on a generously sized corner block, no expense has been spared in the design and construction of this beautiful home which with its expansive proportions and luxurious appointments could easily be mistaken for a boutique resort. Utilising the natural contours of the site, the home’s formal entrance stands grandly at the top of ten stairs, giving the home a dramatic approach whilst maximising the size of the block and providing garage space for four vehicles in the undercroft garage. Given the close proximity to the ocean, materials were chosen to ensure that the home had minimal maintenance requirements, including powder coated aluminium windows intercepted with carefully placed cedar claddings for aesthetic detail, compact laminate for the linings of the wide eaves and, ultra-steel Colorbond roofing.

Originally a private residence, the owners found that the tranquil surroundings had such an effect on visitors that they frequently were reluctant to leave and generously decided to convert the property into a day spa so that it could be shared and enjoyed by all who visited. From the moment you drive…

One of the highlights of this addition project was the skilful use of the site’s natural topography. Working with the gentle downward slope of the site, Kensington Design created a split-level rear addition that nestles into the lot, thereby reducing the height impact of the upper floor on neighbouring properties. This height impact was further reduced thanks to the attic style children’s bedrooms on the upper floor of the addition. Here the sloped walls allowed for the overall roof height to be lower while providing the children with character bedrooms featuring dormer windows and boarded ceilings. Downstairs, the new open plan living area is the perfect family space with generously sized kitchen that includes informal seating alongside the breakfast bar while the good sized dining table creates a more formal…

A beautiful palette of natural tones enriched by timbers and stone, flows through from the entry to the open plan living kitchen and lounge area. In the kitchen a stunning combination of high gloss white and timber cabinetry conceal an abundance of storage and kitchen function, whilst a luxurious feature wall rich in textures and finishes houses the television and fireplace in the…

Rather than working against the steep site the home was expertly constructed utilising the natural contours of the land to create a games room and master bedroom suite within the undercroft, boasting the same ocean views as the main floor of the home. On the main floor, the open plan design of the kitchen and living gives this home a bright and airy atmosphere that’s further added to by the cathedral ceiling, while extensive use of glass brings the indoor and outdoor living areas together. Outside there’s a large tiled terrace leading to the concrete swimming pool that also features an unobstructed view of the ocean. The exterior of the home is dramatic with its use of stone and dark stained timber cladding. The same coloured stone continues into the…
