IMAGINE LIVING IN PERFECT ELEGANCE
Translating the strong forms of its architecture into the interiors, the residences are adorned with a sumptuous palette of colours and materiality drawn from the Western Australian landscape. Local finishes are reminiscent of the region’s history and character, with a unique global twist.
Across three striking design schemes, stonework and metals catch the light, while warm timbers add texture and depth. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of Art Deco and the optimistic outlook of Midcentury modern, we blend intricate craftsmanship with a fresh return to elegance. Every space invites discovery and delights the senses.
With bold accents and reflective elements, each design plays with timeless beauty, creating mystery and surprise, delighting at every turn.
INTRIGUING, IMPRESSIVE AND UTTERLY UNIQUE – A RESIDENCE
A SENSE OF REFINED GRANDEUR
FREE-FLOWING RESIDENCES ARE MADE EXTRAORDINARY WITH CAREFULLY REFINED DETAILS.
LIVING AND DINING
Living and breathing quality and élan, The Coolbinia’s relaxation and entertaining areas are the perfect balance of natural and intentional. Every element has been composed to invite the senses, from expansive balconies and an airy ambience to views of the neighbourhood and the warmth of timber underfoot. Even the lighting works in harmony with how you live. With a choice to dim and direct, an opportunity to better highlight a favourite artwork or space.
KITCHEN
Beautiful design and considered craftsmanship define the welcoming spaces of the kitchen. Miele appliances are purposefully integrated, as are curated storage solutions and, in select residences, dedicated sculleries with feature LED lighting. This heart of the home features subtle statements in stone and Italian marble, with tasteful, timeless detailing.
BEDROOM
Freedom of design combines with a cultivated sense of quiet, creating a bedroom retreat sequestered from the vibrancy of life. In these restful spaces, comfort manifests in lighting that adjusts to your mood, and quality carpeting, soft and silent underfoot. A serene space, where acoustic performance has been engineered for a good nights rest.
BATHROOM
The bathroom calms and charms in equal measure, with indulgent extended vanities and playful detailing that elevates the mirrored cabinet storage. High-quality fixtures and fittings can be personalised to enhance, whilst other selections evoke a natural purity, in moulded stone sinks and Italian marble.

“WILLING HOMES ARE ABOUT THE SANCTUARY, THE JOY OF CONNECTION, AND ELEGANT, TIMELESS STYLE. TO MERIT THE NAME HOME, ONE CANNOT SIMPLY THINK OF THE BUILDING; HOME IS WITHIN, WHERE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS LIVE, LOVE AND REVEL IN THE EVERYDAY EVENTS OF EXISTENCE.”
THE WILLING TEAM
Willing is a Western Australian owned and operated group specialising in residential property development and construction, dedicated to creating beautiful residences where people love to live. Earning a reputation for delivering distinctive, exciting and compelling projects which focus on refined design, traditional workmanship and value, the diverse group operates across three divisions - Property, Build and Hospitality.
PROPERTY
Willing have been delivering architecturally considered, high quality residences since our inception, with designs inspired by the grand residences of European cities. Established by Tim Willing in 2012, Willing developments utilise the traditions of craftsmanship and detail that encourage people to embrace the new whilst maintaining the things they love.
Determined to create a legacy that features traditional materials in new ways, Tim’s genuine love for good design gives Willing clients assurance of the finest results. We consider the design of your home as if we were building for our own family, continuously seeking better ways to do things and developing practical solutions to enhance day to day life.
Our highly considered approach to every project ensures a bespoke outcome, enhancing the way residents live and the neighbourhoods they choose to live in. We stay invested in the communities we help build long after the keys are handed over, with our well-loved Willing Coffee espresso bars and Bar Vino creating opportunities for further connection.
BUILD
The Willing family has been building and developing in WA since 1969, forming solid, trusted partnerships with a wide range of suppliers, consultants and contractors.
Established to build our own projects, commencing with the heralded Clifton & Central and followed by No. 7 Field Street, the Build division further cements the group’s position in the WA property market as an integrated construction and development business, seeing Willing become both builder and client. This approach eliminates the need to contract a third-party builder, resulting in better control over project outcomes, quality, timing and cost for purchasers.
Long standing relationships with a wide range of suppliers and contractors provide incredible peace of mind that Willing have tried and trusted workmanship at their fingertips. The Willing team place great importance on the value of long-term relationships with employees, sub-contractors and suppliers, promoting an environment of mutual trust and cooperation, with many of our trades employed directly, rather than as subcontractors, further building that trust.
HOSPITALITY
Three generations of the Willing family live in Mt Lawley – it’s where we grew up, where we work and where we call home. So, we see our developments as part of something bigger –engaging in the joy of connection by adding to the vibrant history of the neighbourhoods we develop. Supporting our vision, we want to create beautiful streetscapes and village atmospheres where people want to live and visit. Where the opportunity always exists to meet friends and family, or for a new chance encounter to occur.
Our Hospitality division plays an integral role in fulfilling this vision, intertwining vibrant cafés, wine bars and boutique shop and retail spaces within each of our developments.
Following the success of our hospitality venues, Willing Coffee in Guildford and Mt Lawley and Bar Vino, we look forward to introducing more exciting ventures into Coolbinia, Perth and further fostering community connection and engagement.
THE WILLING NAME HAS BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION AND CRAFTSMANSHIP SINCE 1969. TODAY, OUR DIVERSE GROUP OPERATES ACROSS THREE DIVISIONS – PROPERTY, BUILD AND HOSPITALITY.
BUILDING A LEGACY
THE TIMELESS ART OF BRICKWORK
Brick has been a staple in Perth homes since the late 1800’s, a timeless product we have specifically chosen to use to ensure that new builds complement the character and heritage of the homes around them.
In support of local industry, our bricks are locally sourced here in Western Australia, less than 100km from Perth. Created from the earth beneath our feet, bricks are sustainable and recyclable. They offer extensive design possibilities, which makes them the material of choice for creating distinctive façades, wall shapes and unique patterns. At Willing, we work closely with architects and our in-house team of builders to ensure every detail reflects our vision – to create elegant residences that break the mould and new spaces that become part of the fabric of local communities.
Our in-house team of master bricklayers, led by brothers Marty and Wayne Van Moorsel, ensures consistent quality and an ability to showcase our distinctive style, and Coolbinia will be no different.
Bricks stand out as a sustainable choice compared to many other materials. Brick buildings have stood strong for centuries, proving their durability, and their efficiency and adaptability, making them perfect for urban living in Perth.
Bricks offer more than longevity – with both aesthetic and functional benefits. They shape homes that make a statement and age beautifully. Unlike metal cladding, brick absorbs sound, creating quieter spaces. We maximise the experience for our customers and utilise cavity walls with acoustic membranes between apartments to boost soundproofing.
At Willing, we choose brick for its beauty and practicality, ensuring our homes are comfortable and visually striking.
Every brick we use at Willing builds homes that honour tradition, sustainability and craftsmanship.
THE CULMINATION OF COLLABORATION
The Coolbinia is a rare collaboration of leading architects and interior designers, landscape architects, heritage specialists and consultant teams. Led by Willing, the team conceived a vision to create an architecturally significant landmark address that revives the area’s heart, and breaths new life into a locale that benefits generations to come.
