Design Masterpiece Superlative living
This modern masterpiece of classic functional design with minimalist lines evokes everything that is good about the 'Skandi' style of architecture. Leading WA Architects Donaldson and Warn were commissioned to create a residence that could be both a home with lovely natural living spaces and one that could entertain on both a small or large scale. The approach from the Client was uncompromising. The sloping angular roof evokes a feeling of leading modernist Architect Iwan Iwanoff with the fresh lines of the 1960's.
The home has multiple bedrooms and living suites on each level as well as a completely separate guest quarters at the rear off the lane way. Impressive whichever way you view it, we like that the home is surrounded by garden, we love the voided living above the kitchen meals that opens to the northern terrace, the gallery that links parents to children's area, the intimacy of the living area surrounded by lawn and trees, the feeling of family in the capacious living to the East of the communal kitchen area.
Intriguing from the street but utterly beguiling once you enter its inner sanctum this family home is one for the ages, a timeless masterpiece of the best that Australian design has to offer. There are gallery spaces and private spaces and spaces for just living and lounging.
The perfect home for an active family close to Schools, the river and the Claremont village. Living doesn't get much better than this. To make your mark come to see and buy one of the best homes ever on a huge 1085sqm landholding.
