…A uniform palette of materials was crafted to create a timeless spatial experience
The design of the house was intended to be timeless and contemporary, with a simple but elegantly detailed palette of materials that convey a sense of luxury and form a carefully designed backdrop to the client’s substantial art collection and designer furniture. The house is well suited to entertaining, but is also low maintenance, with its open planning and material selection that includes Italian sandstone tiles and Carrara marble.
The interior design of this award-winning house was intended to be timeless and contemporary, with a simple but elegantly detailed palette of materials that convey a sense of luxury and provide a carefully designed backdrop to the client’s substantial art collection and designer furniture. The house is well suited to entertaining, with a large kitchen that opens onto generous-sized living and dining areas, and an outdoor living area overlooking Lake Jualbup, encouraging indoor/outdoor living.
The interior spaces are arranged with open planning and spatial flexibility in mind, achieving excellent natural lighting which is complemented by an elegant lighting scheme. Material selection is netural but timeless and includes Italian sandstone tiles and Carrara marble, perhaps most dramatically expressed in the main bathroom.
This project won the Interior Award at the 2002 RAIA Western Australia Chapter Awards and has been featured widely in design publications including ’50+ Great Bathrooms by Architects’ published in 2005, ‘Contemporary Houses of the World’ published in 2002, plus ‘InDesign’ and ‘Scoop’ magazine.
