Yesterday

This new home designed to meet heritage planning requirements sits within a suburb known for many wonderful examples of homes built around 100 years ago so it needs to fit in with it's neighbours and still meet the needs of a modern family.  Enjoying a two street frontage we are able to tuck the garage around to the side street and allow the frontage to the main street that might be mistaken for an original home of the area.


The home will be built with reverse brick veneer with lapped board cladding to the outside walls, unusual for Perth but common around the world.  The external timber frame can then be easily insulated and achieve a greater energy rating than it would if it was built in the common double leaves of brickwork.

The double storey encapsulates all the bedrooms with a single storey large open living dining and kitchen area enjoying vaulted ceilings that run all the way through to an outdoor alfresco area.

North is facing the street so we will have to wait to see if the planners will allow solar panels to occupy the large roof area.
