Located on a large amalgamated block in Cottesloe, with views to the ocean and the surrounding tree lined suburban valley, the design offers the conveniences of a modern family residence with a strong focus on spatial planning and outdoor living. The design maximizes the visual and physical connection with the tennis court, swimming pool, and expansive gardens that characterize this site, as well as the expansive views beyond.
The site layout and orientation were predetermined by the existing site features; however, careful planning has resulted in a home that achieves excellent solar orientation and outlook. Large sliding doors open from the living spaces and bedrooms onto outdoor verandahs and decks, maximizing natural ventilation, lighting, and views while also protecting the interior from the harsh west sun with large overhangs.
The building’s form and style sits quietly within the street with a contemporary styling, while also loosely referencing the surrounding architecture via a pitched roof clad in timber shingles, penetrated by sculptural chimney stacks and grounded by classical verandah colonnades. The clean lines and building form is expressed with a simple palette of contemporary materials including large areas of glass, textured acrylic render, polished plaster and zinc cladding combined with a timber shingle roof.
