This was however a goal more easily conceived than executed because the new home was to be built on West Coast Drive, one of Perth’s busiest but most iconic coastal roads, and on a sharply sloping block. The need to maintain continual access to the common property driveway further complicated things. But through careful traffic management and tight scheduling Mondo Exclusive managed to overcome all these obstacles ensuring traffic flow was not interrupted and inconvenience to the neighbours was kept to a minimum. Modelled on the concept of a coastal boathouse, this home has a striking but perfectly compatible street presence. Completed in 2018, and being the only charcoal and black house on the stretch, the residence has already become a local icon and landmark. In order to meet the…

The star of the space is a luxurious custom made velvet sofa in olive green, a colour that has been used throughout to subtly connect the entire space whilst plashes of dusty rose and gold add richness and warmth. In each of the bedrooms the playful tribal theme is enhanced via the unique wall art that Mjeda-Beg painted herself.…

Feng Shui are words that are no longer foreign to most people but for most, the practice and understanding of what it is and how it works remain a mystery, hard to understand and therefore largely ignored, despite the fact that there is a growing realisation that how (well) your life occurs for you really is influenced by the spaces is which you live and work. My work puts me in touch with people who have problems in some area of their health, wealth or happiness. Having tried everything they know, often in desperation, they are willing to give Feng Shui a go. Of course, I love working with them to help resolve their difficulties, however, often our conversation leads to pointing out a structural issue that is creating or…

So now that you are planning to join the growing number of visionary homeowners who are not only wanting to maximise the long-term monetary, health and environmental benefits of building a sustainable home there are 10 key options to consider. 1. Passive Solar Design Passive solar design is something that should be at the top of every new home’s, ‘must have list’. Unfortunately however it is either missing altogether or poorly executed. Griff Morris, founder and owner of multi-award winning sustainable homes company, Solar Dwellings, insists that it costs no more to design a passive solar home than any other home. It’s all quite technical but also quite simple” says Griff, “living areas and large windows of the home should face north with minimal windows to the east and west…

The home has a striking street presence. The hard angular lines and subdued grey tones of steel, brick and render are offset by beautiful Accoya timber which has been used on the oversized garage, bringing a wonderful warmth to the facade. The blend of materials and bold design is repeated throughout, adding a wonderful richness and textural quality to the entire home. To minimise retaining the home has been built over three levels working with the natural slope of the site, which also accommodates the client’s brief to create a home that provides zoned living spaces for short term and long term occupants that seamlessly transition to the outdoors. Unique features are abundant throughout the 482sqm residence, including a mezzanine floor in the garage, an internal bridge in the upper…

Despite its high ceilings, quality finishes and generous proportions of 362sqm of internal living space, 160sqm of terraces and a massive 203sqm garage the new owners required a little more space to accommodate their growing family of grandchildren and the twenty year old interior needed some updating to modernise the kitchen, scullery and laundry areas. Claremont based Collière Architecture was consequently engaged by the new owners to re-design the apartment to suit their needs - coincidentally it was John Collière who had in fact designed the original apartment complex making the project all the more enjoyable for this boutique, award-winning firm. Principal John Collière and associate Director Philip Geraghty worked closely with the owners to create a stylish new interior and expand the apartment to include a relaxed family entertaining…

Cottesloe The derelict garden of a newly renovated timber bungalow, originally built in 1909 as part of Cottesloe’s early diaries, was given a beautiful new lease on life by multi-award winning boutique landscaping company Springgreen Landscapes. The large block, 929 square metres, required a front garden to complement the fresh, bungalow style weatherboard facade of the house and a more contemporary back garden, complete with alfresco and barbeque area, to suite the modern design of the home’s rear extension. Working closely with the architect and client, founder of Springgreen Landscapes Jean Clément Printemps delivered the child-friendly, low maintenance Mediterranean-feel garden the owner wanted and was awarded the Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers (AILDM) Gold Award and Best in Category for Residential Landscape Design over 150sqm for this outstanding…

A Classic Blend Building a new home for a young family in an established, affluent suburb with a pervasive cottage street aesthetic, required some innovative design considerations to ensure a perfect blend of contemporary and classic. This remarkable Weststyle home successfully achieves this challenging brief creating an eye-catching, unexpected exterior that has a distinct ‘urban edge’ whilst sitting harmoniously within its classic surroundings. The home sits on a tight piece of land and every inch of the block is judiciously used to create a home that is both spacious and light yet has practical privacy. The house is separated into two buildings connected by a galley. The front building, a formal sitting room with sophisticated custom stained timber parquetry flooring and high raking ceilings with curved corners, is simple in…

Enhanced by feature stone, painted weatherboard and wooden balustrading offset by antique silver decorative wrought iron, the home has elegant, yet welcoming street appeal. Painted sandstone columns lead the way into an exceptionally comfortable and relaxed home inside and out. The main living area, which the owners call the “great room”, is stylish yet comfortable, designed for everyday living and dining. Bi-fold doors connect the living spaces to a temperate north facing verandah and, via an open-plan, integrated kitchen, to an east facing verandah which allows the morning sun to flood into the home. Such seamless integration between all living spaces, indoors and out streamlines entertaining both in winter and by the pool and barbeque in summer removing the need for any “formal areas”. The practical and large free flowing…

From the street the geometric façade has striking appeal. Right angles of the doors and windows are accentuated by their dark framing against the white rendered walls which further contrasts with a rich dark timber cladding. Whilst the design itself is bold and daring, the overall feel of the home is light due to extensive glazing and double height windows. An upper floor void creates a grand entry to the home, welcoming visitors into a light bright and beautiful space with overhead chandelier and a spectacular staircase with stainless steel spine and dark timber treads. The sophisticated design of the staircase reflects the feeling of the exterior of the home, strong and solid whilst being light in appearance, a feeling further enhanced by feature lighting below and the flawless washed…

Boutique meets Hollywood, meets luxury hotel in a remarkable Hillary's renovation by Academy Custom Interiors where an adjoining bedroom was transformed into an expansive walk-in-robe seamlessly merging with the existing sumptuous master suite. The home owners live in three places on three continents so required a space which, when they were residing elsewhere, ensured their clothes and accessories were protected and kept in immaculate condition. This was flawlessly achieved by enclosing all the hanging with specially-created glass sliding doors, custom-made and shipped from the east, to protect the clothing from any possibility of dirt or dust ingress whilst maintaining visual access and feelings of light and space. Floor to ceiling mirrors conceal an original electrical cupboard, cleverly reflecting the bespoke wallpaper, immaculate cabinetry and creating further impressions of openness and…

From the street, the angular design provides a modern, clean look, whilst your eye is drawn to the Marbellino feature wall adjacent to the entrance, in subtle dark concrete grey. Red cedar to the raised roof and door contrast with the concrete and Marbellino, the natural beauty of the door providing a warm invitation to enter the property. Raised ceilings to the entry hallway, beautiful polished hardwood floors and quality finishes give a glimpse as to what is to come as you enter the spacious 4 bed, 2 bathroom home. Designed to maximise the northern aspect the large open plan living space that incorporates dining, living and a designer kitchen, complete with scullery is positioned at the rear of the property. Extensive storage solutions ensure that this area remains uncluttered…
