LUXURY INTERIORS Inside & Out If you’ve taken a drive down Stirling Highway Claremont you will no doubt have noticed Trilogy’s impressive showrooms. Perhaps you’ve perused their extensive range of beautiful furniture, or even purchased something from their selection of designer homewares. However, you may not be aware that Trilogy is far from your average furniture and homeware retailer, with 33 years of success to prove it.
In an industry where competition is fierce, Trilogy has for over three decades maintained a stellar reputation as one of Perth’s leading luxury retailers. Family owned and operated, the businesses success can be credited to the passion and discerning eye of Sandra Formica and son Tyler Formica. Together they have built solid relationships with leading international suppliers. They travel the world to source unique, quality crafted pieces to provide their clients with a collection of beautiful furniture and homewares that are exclusively available Australia wide. The Trilogy showroom offers an array of exceptional designer pieces for
every room in the house, as well as the garden and outdoor living spaces. Meticulously curated statement pieces project a distinctive style with a focus on ‘timeless classic’ and ‘French provincial’ design. Their signature style stands out amongst the alternative offerings of other furniture and homeware stores with a style that is uniquely identifiable as ‘Trilogy’. The Trilogy range includes leading products such as Le Forge Galvanised Iron and English Oak Furniture. The long-standing supplier relationships have allowed Trilogy’s clients to access a consistent range from which to build their own personal collection over many years.
15
Walking into one of the Trilogy showrooms is a sensory and visual delight. Located next door to each other for client convenience, both stores showcase their entire range of indoor and outdoor collections. The in-store experience combined with an extensive website equipped with an online concierge is what sets Trilogy apart. The skill and experience of the Trilogy team is without doubt one of the key factors of Trilogy’s long standing success. More than ‘sales executives’, the Trilogy team share a love for all things design. They have extensive knowledge of the Trilogy collections and with a great understanding of interior decorating and styling they are ready to help clients create the perfect space.
16
For those looking for a little more help, Trilogy offers clients a complete interior design solution, guided by the expertise of their in-house interior designer Dorien Copejans. Drawing on the individual taste of each client, she stands ready to offer ideas and design solutions to create an atmosphere that reflects both their lifestyle and personality. Dorien has over 15 years of experience creating exciting and beautiful spaces for the high-end commercial and residential market.

Design Construct Interiors Landscape Since 1956, Zorzi has operated based on the ethos, “excellence is an expectation and not the exception”. It is a culture of uncompromising quality that is infused into every aspect of the business of designing and building bespoke luxury homes for discerning clients who demand the very ultimate service, architecture, and construction. Being trusted to build a family’s home is a privilege and humbling experience. At Zorzi, we have always prided ourselves as being a multigenerational builder and as we enter our 60th year of operation, never has this been truer. Knowing that for many, building their first home is just the beginning of a journey that sees Zorzi intertwined into the fabric of each family’s history. From grandparents, to parents, to children and now grandchildren, each home is architecturally designed and constructed with the knowledge that home may be the foundation for future generations of the same family to come. As people, time and styles have evolved, Zorzi continues to be there, changing, evolving and adapting to serve the needs of the modern Australian family. Whether to build, restore and/or renovate, each client can be safe in the knowledge that Zorzi has a strong, financial and secure heritage that is unmatched by many. As a multiple Austalian Builder of the Year, Zorzi is a true bespoke builder focused on ensuring each family’s journey is a seamless and enjoyable one. By taking full responsibility for the process from design through to construction and well after the family has moved in we can adapt to build luxury family homes of all sizes and budgets After 60 years of excellence, and recognised across Australia for that quality, there can be no substitute, as is testament of the many clients who built their first home decades ago, have returned over again to eventually build with us again.

Internally the home artfully blends the Hamptons detailing with a modern, open and bright layout with fully floating timber stair treads and a double height voided living area with stone clad fireplace, spilling out via the timber bi-fold doors to the alfresco and koi fish pond. Wrapping around the home are tranquil, landscaped courtyards which let in an abundance of light. Many of the living spaces and ensuites open out onto these, creating a true sense of being within a secluded retreat.

Elara Drawing on inspiration from the minimalist stylings of villas the home owners’ had visited in the Mediterranean and northern Africa, this home was designed to capture the magnificent panoramic river and city views afforded to the site as well as create a spacious, zoned family home that was also perfectly suited to casual entertaining.

Whilst staying true to the ‘less is more’ ethos and style of the home, there is still a distinct warmth and sense of easy livability that permeates the home from the moment you enter via the large solid timber pivot entry door into the impressive voided lobby right through to the luxury hotel suite inspired master wing on its own dedicated level with floor to ceiling windows to soak in
42
the 270 degree views from Applecross, across Dalkeith and Crawley, to the city skyline. There is a real feeling of living amongst the treetops as the home is situated atop the hills in the established, quiet and leafy area of South Perth and creates the ambience of a private oasislike resort you never want to leave.

Individually hand-crafted timber columns and canopy guide you into the home. Timber-look tiles which have been used extensively both inside and out and timber skirting raised slightly off the floor are just a snapshot of some of the low maintenance features of the home. The home features a nursery with a walk-through walk-in-robe connecting it directly to the spacious master suite, and a concealed cavity sliding door zoning off the open plan kitchen, dining, living and alfresco from the bedrooms towards the front of the home. The large open alfresco flows onto the rear yard and pool area, with a South African style wood fired oven the stand out feature of the entertaining area of the home.

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.
58
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 form but highly complex in detail both internally and externally. The three-dimensional faรงade is constructed entirely in dark feature brick which extends up the walls and over the roof in a unique manner that is striking in its application and results in the effect of a solid brick house. Four equal walls and tall a triangular shaped roof encapsulates the innocent child-like drawing of a house imbuing this home with an elusive yet enduring optimistic youthfulness. The room almost glows from within and the light playing through the front brick screen adds practical privacy without compromising natural brightness. A window seat, which cantilevers out over the deep concrete pool creates a perfect place for relaxing with a book and allows natural light to flood the space.
59
P R O J EC T F E AT U R E W ESTST Y L E
Journeying down the gallery to the second “building�, strategically placed windows offer glimpses of the alfresco and pool before wrapping around a curved corner into the main kitchen meals and living area. A hidden study and feature garden creates an open space that embraces natural light and greenery. Opening onto the alfresco and pool, the main kitchen maximises natural light and blurs the lines between outside and inside. This sense of light and space was crucial to the client and as a result greenery is visible from all aspects of the home with courtyards and small gardens dotted throughout.
60
The young modern owners are busy yet love to entertain so practical and low maintenance finishes are evident throughout with polished concrete flooring, reconstituted stone benchtops and timber features to give the space warmth and character. Upstairs, a master suite with ensuite, two minor bedrooms, a bathroom, casual sitting room with kitchenette and a neatly designed study desk area complete this skilfully considered and executed contemporary yet timeless home that blends perfectly into its traditional yet trendy highly sought-after suburb.

Curvaceous Beauty Centred around a spectacular, circular staircase, this masterpiece by multi-award winning Weststyle Design & Development, beautifully combines geometric with round and dark with light in a profusion of natural light, creating a feeling of endless open space and timeless and enduring beauty.
62
Dark cladding and angular lines dramatically frames a light, bright and inviting entry corridor with a beautiful natural stone pathway. Once inside the impressive entry, one is greeted by the unexpected sight of rounded ceilings, stairways, and lines challenging the traditions of square corners and straight-lined ceiling spaces.
Inside the simplicity of a limited material palette enhances a strong design aesthetic that is evident throughout the home. Gleaming warm wooden floors line the living areas reflecting light from the numerous large windows.
63
P R O J EC T F E AT U R E W ESTST Y L E
The cabinetry in the open plan kitchen matches the flooring, continuing the floor line up to the ceiling, eliminating any sharp moments in the flowing open spaces and creating a seamless feeling of no endings or beginnings. An eye-catching white stone kitchen island rises effortlessly from the beautiful timber flooring and surrounds offering a centrepiece deliberately created without drawers or shelving to enhance the feeling of space, openness and striking simplicity. The master bedroom flows onto a luxury ensuite, here the strong design aesthetic that is evident throughout the home continues, complete with timber cabinetry and floor to ceiling timber-look porcelain tiles. An oversized freestanding bath further enhances the feeling of luxury and calm.

Two-storey high windows create a beautiful feature from both inside and outside and ensures an abundance of natural light flows unchecked throughout the whole house, bringing the outside in and enabling the residents to take in the view of the gardens. Built around the spectacular circular staircase, all the living areas flow onto the low maintenance, versatile alfresco.

Wabi-sabi Set in a leafy tree-lined street in Wembley Downs, this three-storey custom home by Refined Edge achieves perfect equilibrium between luxurious comfort, personality, innovation and a practical design suited to the needs of a growing family. Winner of the Master Builders Association WA 2019 Best Contract Home $1 Million to $1.5 Million, this beautiful residence evokes a profound soulfulness, thanks to designer Pavlo Szyjan who uses a Japanese style philosophy known as wabi-sabi to ensure a client’s thoughts and feelings influence the finished product and allow them to remain authentic in all aspects of their lives. The outcome in this home is a shining exemplar of wabi-sabi, achieving the vision to deliver a luxurious family home with the space and comfort to raise two children despite a restricted building area.

A striking Y-shaped steel feature column, a favourite feature for the owners, has been stylised to evoke the encircling tree branches and the canopy over the top of the home mimics that of a tree canopy, creating a natural impression that complements the home’s verge and allows it to be part of its surrounds.

adjoining a gorgeous ensuite, complete with full-height tiling and a bespoke shower recess. The caesarstone island bench in the gourmet kitchen doubles as an optional dining area and extensive storage cupboards in a rich dark tone contrast with the bright white workspace.
Additional beautiful contrast in colour and texture is achieved through a harmonious combination of spotted gum joinery and concrete-looking tiles. Huge windows throughout bring in lots of natural light, enhancing the homes bright and open feel and the natural timber tones in the floors and cabinetry bring warmth and contrast. In order to integrate the sloping block into the design, an under croft garage was appropriate, which allowed the inclusion and extra bonus of a passive wine cellar. A range of sustainable features further future proof this beautiful home, including provision for an electrical car charger and solar panels cable and inverter provision.

Concrete Sail House The brief for this riverside home by LUXUS Homes & Tim Wright Architect, called for a build that was both daring and extraordinary. With a prestigious water’s edge building site in Applecross, the clients requested a unique ‘yacht-like’ abode, built using concrete. Although the premise of a concrete house elicits strong reactions both for and against, the client’s love of the material’s great strength and tactility led them to request using it in as many forms as possible throughout their new home… and the outcome is nothing short of spectacular!
117
P R O J EC T F E AT U R E LU X US H O M ES

The Concrete Sail House is another successful collaboration between LUXUS Homes, led by master builder Russell Manger and director Jarrad Cranston and Tim Wright of Tim Wright Architect. Five years in the making, the architect and builder felt blessed to work with daring and trusting clients to create something truly extraordinary. Designing a beautiful structure that was functional as well as ‘over the top’ and ‘dramatic’ was a challenging brief, says Jarrad.
“Working with someone who trusts you is really rewarding because you can try different things. They fully back your vision, then together we see it built and realised. We love that”. As with their other projects, open discussions with client, builder and architect filtered through all levels of the design of this unique home. Exploring the full range of concrete’s potential, they emphasised the dramatic quality of the material by enhancing it in some areas and contrasting it in others. The goal for the Concrete Sail House was to create an experience that takes visitors on a journey of emotions from austerity to composed serenity as they move from space to space. The Concrete Sail House begins with a triple height entry void where the acoustics are quite resonant. However, this changes dramatically as you reach the timber cladding and acoustic ceilings of the kitchen and living rooms. Minimal in aesthetic, the open plan living, dining and kitchen is never-the-less rich in materials and textures.
119
P R O J EC T F E AT U R E LU X US H O M ES
In the kitchen, light Aurelius stone adorns the benchtops and is complemented by bronze mirrored splashbacks, Havana wood-grained veneer and matt black cabinetry, creating an overall look of understated luxury. Upstairs the feel is remarkably different to the lower level living areas. As Jarrad explains, the rooms were the perfect fit for the clients’ adolescent boys. “We went big and expansive in the living areas detail
120
downstairs, up here it’s all under control. It’s certainly luxurious but still restrained,” he adds. The main ensuite however, wrapped in the grandeur of the Aurelius quartzite, embraces more of the qualities of downstairs. A uniquely shaped, deep walnut veneer bath and minimalist tapware complements the colour palette without taking any focus away from the unparalleled view.

Set to ensure that this home becomes an iconic landmark amongst the luxurious neighbouring properties, is a spectacular concrete ‘sail’ that floats out over the first level cantilevered pool and alfresco area, creating a dramatic shield from the sun and adding to the yacht-like ambiance. Using the initial brief for a ‘concrete yacht’ as a launching point from which to explore the vast potential of concrete, LUXUS Homes & Tim Wright Architect have delivered a truly extraordinary home that challenges the stereotypical austere connotations associated with concrete and surprises at every turn.
LUXUS Homes is one of Perth’s finest luxury home builders specialising in architectural homes across Perth and the metropolitan region.

C laremont CLASSIC

Designed and constructed by one of WA’s most awarded small builders, Kensington Design, it’s no surprise this timeless “Hamptons” home in a quiet Claremont street was delivered exactly as briefed - a perfect residence for the busy lifestyles and individual needs of the owners -working parents with three adolescent children. An expertly designed layout allows the family ample space to “live together” with plenty of interaction between everyone (including pets) whilst simultaneously providing areas for individuals to enjoy peace and solitude. 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.
127
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 kitchen, the real heart and hub of this home, is also near the study, entry and stairs from the upstairs bedrooms and includes brilliant a kitchen office – a space with cavity sliding doors so it can be closed off – for general household management and kids’ homework under supervision and a large walk-in pantry. Dark stained American Oak timber floors contrast perfectly with warm white panelled doors and cabinetry throughout creating a beautiful interior design statement.
12 9
A generous master bedroom located on the ground floor, adjacent to the entry, includes a luxurious dressing room and “resort style” ensuite bathroom with natural travertine floors and vanity tops and an embracing circular shower tiled in natural travertine mosaics. Its main bedroom’s location, provides a bit of separation from the children’s generous upstairs bedrooms and living spaces without being too far away and also guards against future illness or disability ensuring the home’s suitability now and into the foreseeable future.
The oversized garage, located at the far southern end of the block so not to dominate the homes perfect façade, has ample storage space for bikes and shelving units. A large second floor loft provides a multi-use area that can also be used as a gym or for intermittent guest accommodation and perfectly balances the elegant and sophisticated overall exterior design. This beautifully proportioned, exceptionally finished home speaks of relaxed family living, whilst simultaneously exuding elegance and timeless architecture.

COASTAL VIEWS
FOREVER
After enjoying their spectacular coastal location for close to 30 years, the owners of this new home knew they wanted to stay exactly where they were. They also knew exactly what they wanted in their new home and that they wanted Mondo Exclusive Homes to design and build their new dream
13 4
residence: a low maintenance, highly energy efficient, beachy abode, tailored to their exact needs and requirements and containing only spaces they would regularly use. It was also imperative that their new home maximised the stunning ocean views offered by their location.
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 requirements of a highly energy efficient home, the clients and Mondo Exclusive Design opted for walls constructed from Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) internally cladded with plasterboard and externally with compressed sheet weather board. This facilitated a quick, enduring build that will require little maintenance.
An airy and inviting open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, opens onto an expansive 40m2 balcony to further take in the breathtaking sea vistas and beach sunsets. Feature v-groove panelling throughout the house, soaring raked ceilings, exposed beams and beautiful internal feature doors enhance the coastal theme. Guests are greeted in a littoral entry foyer by a lighthouse custom made in the U.S. and tastefully positioned in pride of place at the top of the stairs. A lift ensures accessibility and that the home will embrace its owners well into their later years. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms plus a powder room for guests provide all the remaining space needed by the clients to create their dream home. Special custombuilt bunk beds in the rear bedroom, complete with a view of the lighthouse at the top of the stairs, have created an enticing sea-side, bedroom for the grandchildren – who never want to leave. At the back of the home a family-friendly games room adjoins the rear al fresco area which overlooks the pool and spacious lawn Throughout the design and implementation of the build, Mondo worked closely with the client, ensuring their continual input into the design and building decisions and so perfectly creating and delivering another bespoke, highly customised dream home.

BOLD AND BRIGHT Nestled just a few streets away from Perth’s pristine coastline, this modern family home designed by Germano Designs hits all the important design notes. 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 aggregated floor.

LUXURY
Coastal Living
Built on a steep, sloping site between two street frontages, just one street back from Perth’s iconic Cottesloe beach, Ozone has been skilfully created by Exclusive Residence to take full advantage of its stunning coastal location. A celebration of the client’s business success as well as being a luxury home for both his young family and friends to enjoy, the brief was to create a home that was luxurious and yet had a ‘livable’ beach-side feel. The result is a striking contemporary abode that epitomises the Cottesloe lifestyle.
152
Working with the site to construct the 555sqm, 4 bed, 3 bathroom home was a challenging process, that required breaking through coastal limestone cap-rock and taking care to effectively shore and pile adjourning properties. A 7 x 5 m music studio was also added at the last minute which required a rock breaker to be craned over the built garage to remove a further 200 cubic meters of rock. To take full advantage of the views, the maximum allowed wall height was achieved by cleverly designing a curved roof to one side. This complicated design required the deployment of a mobile sheet metal roll-former, to custom roll the curvature of the Colorbond Ultra roof profile. The home has been built with a layered effect, utilising the natural 6 metre rise from the front to the rear of the block using a reverse level design, placing the living areas on the upper level to maximise the views. As you enter the open-plan living space, the natural tones of timber veneer cabinetry and Spotted Gum flooring add an organic warmth to the space whilst the neutral tones allow the stunning views of the Indian ocean to provide an ever changing wallpaper of natural beauty.
Both inside and out, the finish is exemplary, using the highest-quality materials. There is extensive bespoke joinery throughout the home and negative detailed ceilings and cornices add to the clean and fresh look coastal look whilst demonstrating the meticulous attention to detail that is seen throughout. The spectacular master ensuite is a notable
15 4
highlight of the home, tiled from floor to ceiling in natural sandstone, each individual tile required sealing to their face and edges before being laid. With its stunning views and exceptional craftsmanship, Exclusive Residence have created a classic coastal home tailored perfectly to the location and client needs.
A multi award-winning custom home builder, Exclusive Residence have been delivering beautiful homes since 2005. Among a list of other accolades they are proud Winners of a National Master Builders Award for ‘Best Custom Home’.
PIANOS
When Only the Best Will Do Some would say a home is not complete without music, others would take this a step further and say a home is not complete without a piano. I would fall into the latter. There is something undeniably soulful that a piano brings to a dwelling, a promise of music echoing through the home, bringing life and joy to even the emptiest of spaces. A quality piano will last a life-time and is an investment not only in an instrument but a beautiful piece of furniture for your home, therefore choosing the right piano requires the advice of an absolute expert, people who not only know music but know pianos inside and out. In Perth, Snadens Pianos on Stirling Highway in Nedlands are Perth’s undeniable piano experts. Founded in 1921, Snadens was purchased 22 years ago by Zenith Music, who this year are celebrating their 50th anniversary in the music industry. Zenith has frequently been referred to as “The Best Music Shop in Australia’ sell-
ing a diverse range of instruments and music.

Founder of Kawai pianos, Koichi Kawai began his career in the late 1800’s working for Yamaha as part of the team that introduced pianos to Japan. When the piano industry in Japan declined, Yamaha diversified into other industries whilst Kawai left in 1927 to start his own company focused solely on the production of quality pianos.
‘The Butterfly’ Fazioli piano – designed in conjunction with Bing Thom Architects who wished to capture the same futuristic qualities as The Butterfly luxury apartment development in downtown Vancouver
Whilst every Kawai piano is built with precision and traditional craftsmanship that has been passed on from generation to generation, at the top end of the Kawai range is the spectacular Shigeru Kawai, concert grand piano. These pianos are created by a select few who have proven themselves through decades of refining their art - master piano artisans who are chosen for their own musical sensibilities and view their work as a profound expression of pride and honour with no time limits on the creation of each Shigeru Kawai, the aim is only perfection. Kawai is now regarded as Japan’s premier piano brand. Snadens Pianos are located at 161 Stirling Hwy, Nedlands. The Snadens’ team of knowledgeable individuals are ready to assist you to choose the perfect piano for your home.

WARDROBE
ENVY 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 luminosity.

TRIBAL LUXE When talented interior decorator and artist Luiza Mjeda-Beg laid her eyes on this brand new Reva apartment on Harper Terrace, South Perth, she immediately fell in love with the expansive windows that brought in the stunning Perth city skyline and Swan River outlook. Using the soft blue backdrop of the sky and river, she combined a variety of organic materials and textures including hessian, wool and dark timber and a palette of subdued earthy tones to create a stylish interior that is warm and inviting whilst not detracting from the spectacular views.

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.

MODERN INDUSTRIAL
Family Living Working with a challenging sloping site proved to be no obstacle for Perth home builder, Clarke Custom Homes, who recently completed this striking family home in leafy Booragoon. The home incorporates passive
170
solar principals and modern industrial style into a generously sized 4 bed, 3 bathroom family home that has been designed to emphasize a connection with the external environment.
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.
17 1
Unique features are abundant throughout the 482sqm residence, including a mezzanine floor in the garage, an internal bridge in the upper floor void that connects to the master suite and a lightwell in the ground floor bathroom that during the day cascades light over a mosaic wall and at night transforms into a portal to the stars above the bath. In the main open plan living space a cleverly designed dividing wall houses the fireplaces whilst concealing an illuminated bar area. Throughout the property the warmth of natural hardwood timber combines with the clean, cool lines of polished concrete floors, brick and steel detailing to create an industrial ambiance that still feels homely. Both inside and out, the finish is exemplary, using the highest-quality materials, including Masterwall cladding, polished Concrete floors and solid Blackbutt stair treads to the staircase. From the impressive entrance to the rear covered alfresco area, this is a home for living and entertaining in comfort and luxury.

FENG SHUI IN CONTEMPORARY HOME DESIGN
If you can create a home with rooms that are energetically appropriate for their purpose, like calm energy for sleeping areas, vibrant and happy energy for shared family rooms, busy learning energy for studies and home offices, why wouldn’t you?
F
eng 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 negatively influencing them for which a correction or remedy is challenging if not impossible.
18 2
A Feng Shui consultation prior to finalising your new home design can ensure your home is optimal for good health, wealth and harmonious relationships. I dream of a time when we return to understanding the depth of influence our surroundings have on our health, wealth & happiness, and considering Feng Shui principles in depth at the design stage of homes becomes a standard practice.
CONTEMPORARY DESIGN TRENDS THAT ARE BAD FENG SHUI You may not know it but there are some common design trends that ‘energetically speaking’ are not good practice. Here are four examples:
About the Author Fran Maunton has been in the Feng Shui industry since 2006, working initially with her teacher & mentor before venturing into the world of business and energy management as a sole trader. Community education has been a large part of growing the business. Few people knew then that Feng Shui was a thing let alone why they would want to consider tapping into it in their own homes. She continues to consult for individuals in their existing homes and now runs introductory seminars to help people gather an understanding of the what, why and how of Feng Shui and energy management, guiding them to create lives that are harmonious & prosperous.
1. Ensuites that are open to the master bedroom – they leave you open to being energetically drained. 2. Placement of plumbing pipes through walls where beds are placed, this will leave you open to health challenges 3. Bulkheads, exposed beams or recessed ceilings – corners and sharp edges accelerate energy and have a ‘poison arrow’ effect 4. Placement of the kitchen in the centre of the building – the centre of the home is considered in Feng Shui terms to be the ‘heart’ of the home. Adding Fire here ‘burns’ the heart of the home and digestive problems may also arise. A Feng Shui consultation prior to finalising your new home design can ensure your home is optimal for good health, wealth and harmonious relationships.

Sustainable Home by Solar Dwellings WA
19 4
Why wouldn't you? A dream home can last years, a lifetime or even generations, so getting it right is obviously important. Yet despite the huge financial, health and ecological benefits, bad press has given many people the impression that eco-friendly means “doing without”. The reality however is that sustainability is the ultimate deluxe feature, co-existing seamlessly with modern conveniences and luxury finishes. Ground-breaking designers and architects the world over recognise green is the new black, creating sustainable luxury homes that offer a beautiful new way of living. So why build green? Well economic advantage is one obvious reason but more importantly you have the ability to reduce your carbon footprint and impact on the environment, so the question really should be why wouldn’t you?
195
19 6
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 and the long axis of the home within 15° east or west of north. Additional winter warmth and summer cooling is enhanced by positioning windows so the sun enters in winter but not during summer and window placements allow cross ventilation. These ‘simple’ principals ensure that internal temperatures are kept constant and comfortable Additionally, the use of building materials in specific locations allow the home to absorb the sun’s warmth during the day and release it back into the home in the evening. The overall outcome of a passive solar home is reduced energy consumption and a healthier home that does not require artificial heating or cooling.
2. Material Selection For homeowners wanting to take things a step further, choosing building materials which have low embodied energy (the amount of energy required to manufacture and build them) and low environmental impact, will result in a home that is environmentally responsible in construction as well as in operation. For example, walls do more than just hold the roof up. They play a critical role in the thermal performance of a home and its overall environmental impact. There are a number of green building materials transforming the construction industry including greater use of concrete and concrete products, recycled steel, reclaimed and recycled timber. Concrete and stone flooring are durable, easy to maintain and have great thermal properties. Some very exclusive designer homes have opted for recycled glass and metal tiles made of recycled glass, copper, aluminium or brass.
3. Low Allergen and Non-toxic Options Many traditional building materials aren’t optimal for the health of the home’s inhabitants. There are many
ways to minimise the toxicity in your home through the choices you make at the building stage. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs ) are known carcinogens, irritants or toxicants that are present in many paints, plastics, building materials and indoor products, from cleaning supplies to mattresses. Some traditional materials also encourage moisture build-up, which can lead to toxic mould or mildew problems. Both VOCs and moulds cause outdoor air pollution problems. Choosing non-VOC and moistureresistant products as well as installing systems that enhance air quality, protect the health of you and your loved ones and also help environmental wellbeing.
4. Water Use Choosing 6 star rated WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling) products for your home can significantly reduce your water usage. These include showerheads, taps, toilets and appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers that use water. With expansive roofs many luxury homes also have the ability to easily harvest rainwater for use within the home. Grey water recycling systems recycle water such as water from showers, baths, taps, washing machines for use within the garden and can save hundreds of litres of water each day and help conserve water in Australia’s increasingly drought-prone climate.
5. Energy Efficient Power Including photovoltaic power generation and solar water heating for both the home and swimming pool are just the start of the choices, energy efficient products and lighting such as outdoor solar lighting and indoor LED lighting can significantly reduce power usage. Properly planned electrical wiring can also enable you to switch off all energy to the house other than to essential items such as refrigerators when leaving the home.
6. Lighting At the design stage, correct placement of windows and skylights should create an abundance of natural light, however giant floor-to-ceiling windows are a no-brainer for those seeking luxury, aesthetic appeal and plenty of natural light. Amazing new technologies including double-glazed, high-performance windows mean you don’t have to sacrifice the views for energy efficiency. Of course window placement is Lighting makes up about 11 per cent of the energy consumed in a typical home, about the same as refrigeration. Households can reduce energy use for lighting by 50 per cent or more by making smart lighting choices and using more efficient technology. Getting the lighting right in your new home saves on energy bills and make rooms more enjoyable.
197
7. Landscaping A well designed garden has so many benefits including; minimising water usage and the use of chemicals and toxins, drought resistance, provision of food and of course enjoyment. It pays when choosing a landscaper to feel sure that they are really familiar with designing and implementing a sustainable garden that will enhance the sustainability and pleasure of your new home.
8. Social Inclusivity And of course, enduring family homes should also consider social inclusivity and design life to make homes accessible in all life stages and for all mobility considerations including families with young children, pregnant women, people with temporary or permanent injury or disability and seniors.
9. Home Automation Today’s eco-friendly houses aren’t just sustainable, they’re smart. Inwall touch screens are able to control a home’s light, heat, irrigation, sound, and more are perfect for those who split their time among several residences, allowing homeowners to program such features remotely so energy is not wasted when a home is empty.
10. Insulation Most new homes these days are insulated however many are not insulated correctly and getting it wrong can make things really uncomfortable. Perfectly insulated homes should mean the home is cool in summer but not colder in winter and vice versa. There are also a multitude of insulation options, some eco-friendly and some not, it’s therefore worth getting some advice from someone who really knows the pros and cons of various types of insulation and exactly how it should be optimally integrated in your new home. As Solar Dwellings, Griff explains “Luxury bespoke sustainable homes really are enduring. They cut running costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, minimise environmental impacts and, in this era of unpredictable weather and water, reduce reliance on utility companies. They hold their value, protect your children now and into the future and provide timeless, healthy homes that are superbly luxurious and comfortably for your growing family to live in all year round, through to a very environmentally friendly space for your grandchildren.” Why would you build anything else?

Luxury APARTMENT
RENOVATION When this apartment was originally built back in the 90’s its location alone awarded it a ‘luxury’ label. Situated in Claremont’s exclusive Bindaring Road, the apartment enjoys close proximity to Perth’s iconic Cottesloe beach, some of Perth’s best schools and an elevated position offering spectacular 180 degree views over the Swan River to the CBD and foothills. Now with a sophisticated 21st century re-design and extension by Perth’s Collière Architecture it’s destined to be one of Perth’s most sought after properties.
204
205
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.
207
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 area. Amendments to the planning code, brought into effect since the original building was constructed allowed for an additional 32sqm of living area which has been skilfully designed to maximise the outstanding views utilising extensive custom-made windows and doors by Perth’s Ozsteel. As with most renovation projects there were several challenges which needed to be overcome which included undertaking all work with the
208
clients in residence, plus noise considerations for neighbouring properties and engineering requirements associated with extending the building below an upper floor apartment and pool. Their success is evidenced in the stunning outcome which Collière have attributed to brilliant collaborative relationships with the client, tradespeople and engineers involved in the project. Colliere Architecture have received a number of prestigious national and state awards. The practice specialises in luxury apartments and homes, resorts, mixed use development, adaptive reuse and heritage projects.

Ultimate ALFRESCO KITCHENS
WA’s enviable weather and coastal lifestyle have created the perfect environment for us to enjoy the great outdoors and our love for entertaining outside has now become an integral consideration in the way our homes are being designed. In fact, in many new homes, more attention is being given to the design of outdoor entertaining spaces than those inside. Doesn’t it make perfect sense then to give the same sort of attention to outdoor cooking? After all, who wants to leave your guests alone enjoying the sunshine or warm evening breeze whilst you slave away inside? When it comes to building your outdoor dream kitchen, there are few companies in Perth with as much trusted experience as Alfresco Kitchens. With 40 years industry experience and since 2005 trading as Alfresco Kitchens, owners Ric and Denise Piil have been delivering some of Perth’s most beautiful outdoor kitchens. Working directly with clients as well as alongside some of Perth’s best architects and luxury home builders, Denise & Ric bring attention to detail, technical expertise and extensive experience to deliver a functional and fabulous kitchen that exceeds your highest standards and expectations.

A well designed and professionally executed outdoor kitchen is an investment that will not only add enjoyment, but will also increase the value of your home. Ric and Denise know that getting it right starts with a consultation with you to gain a thorough understanding of both the installation area and your unique lifestyle. Following the consultation process, Alfresco Kitchen’s skilled team will design a beautiful outdoor kitchen that is specifically tailored to suit your home and individual needs. Your new outdoor kitchen is then manufactured ‘in-house’ with technical precision by skilled craftsman using the highest quality materials to ensure a product of uncompromising quality, that meets the highest standards. The installation process is also executed with the same skill and attention to detail which is how Alfresco Kitchens offer their clients a limited lifetime warranty on all their outdoor kitchens.
21 6
Some important considerations in the design process are: • What is your budget? • Where is the best position for your outdoor kitchen taking into consideration available space and factors such as scenic views? • Will you be entertaining large or small groups? • What features such as pizza ovens, wine fridges, bbq’s etc would you like to include? • What style and finishes are you looking for / will suit your new home? • Will your outdoor kitchen be hooked up to mains water, electrics and gas?

Oasis POOLS With our outstanding summers, having a great outdoor entertaining area is something most WA homes owners include on the top of their priority list and with the addition of a bespoke, custom-designed pool by Oasis Pools, leaders in pool design and installation for almost 40 years, dreams become realities with pools that last for several generations and are an appreciating asset along with your home. Constructed exclusively using cement construction, Oasis Pools build in any shape or size to fit any type of area no matter how unusual the space. “There are not many places we cannot construct a magnificent concrete pool including next to boundaries and buildings and on tiny or very sloping spaces. A client’s vision, budget and site practicalities are the only considerations that need to be taken into account in creating and building your dream oasis” explains Oasis Pools founder Gil Howard.

Take for example this Roleystone “Hillside Heaven”. Featuring an iconic stacked-stone infinity edge, this unique L-shaped pool is the perfect complement to the client’s new home creating a striking visual appeal. Constructed on an challenging sloping site, the pool features engineer-designed, self-supporting walls, which deliver additional reinforcement to the home. Its elevation reduces the need for fencing and a frameless glass fence ensures unobstructed views and solar powered heating and flush-mounted LED lights ensure the pool can be enjoyed all year round and at any hour.
With its wealth of personalised details and stunning design, this above ground “Island Paradise” in Darlington is the perfect hillside retreat for relaxation and entertaining. The extensive slop required additional steel and thicker concrete in the pool’s construction. The infinity edge showcases the lush surrounding bushland and city views and the neutral-coloured stacked stone water feature has a natural aesthetic and provides a soothing, calming context. The pool’s circular mosaic design features three dolphins that represent each of the client’s children.

This Port Bouvard pool literally reaches extraordinary “New Heights” to meet the home owners’ vision of a self-supporting pool that maximised the very limited space. This stunning pool was built on the upper floor of the house above the existing paving, which meant that it required minimal space because no extra retaining walls were required. The finished space is a family- friendly area that provides stunning water views from all angles. Imagine trying to coax the kids away from this haven.
With decades of specialised experience in bespoke, personalised pools perfectly suited to each client’s particular vision and purpose, along with limitless range of options and possibilities, guaranteeing dazzlingly high quality outcomes, Oasis Pools’ skill, design innovation, construction, attention to detail and high quality workmanship is widely recognised. And Gil knows it’s about so much more than just building a pool: “It’s about building and fulfilling your dream and enhancing your home by creating an amenity that fits into and enhances the overall experience of your outdoor area so there is still room for the kids to play, for dogs to run around, a place to barbeque, or lie down and relax with a drink after a dip.”

Award Winning
EXTERIORS
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.
228
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 ClÊment Printemps delivered the child-friendly, low maintenance Mediterraneanfeel 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 transformation. As the block is close to the ocean, Mediterranean, mixed with some coastal native species were a perfect choice to create hardy, salt-resistant foliage with interesting contrasts in colour and texture. Around the pool area privacy was addressed with tall shrubs softened with a mix of lower shrubs and fruitless trees to add varying heights to the garden.
229
Mt Pleasant A new home in prestigious Mt Pleasant called for a secure, contemporary garden that could be enjoyed all year round, no matter what the weather. Award-winning Springgreen Landscapes started by designing an inviting new entry to the home. A front wall was built and finished in a concrete render with a custom black metal gate and detailing for contrast. Large concrete steppers lead people to the main entrance across a sea of river stones in various colours and sizes. Mediteranean and native plants further add interest and appeal to the entry.

At the rear of the home the focus was to create a beautiful space to enjoy all year round that would also move attention away from a large, imposing granny flat. Work began by softening the building by painting it a dark grey. Spotted Gum vertical timber slats were used as a feature screen to draw the eye upward and minimise the visual impact of the granny flat. Raised garden beds of varying heights were created in corten steel, complementing the warmth of the Spotted Gum screening and in-built seating area. A Grevillea ‘Orange marmalade’ was planted beside the fire-pit area which would eventually create a cosy corner for nights by the fire as the Greviliea grew to full height. Incorporating the clients’ own visions and concepts, Springgreen Landscapes implement innovative design techniques that enable the indoor and outdoor areas to become a seamless living environment.
