Once the site of a lively paper factory, and now an astonishing transformation within the walls of 47 Forrest St, one of Perth's first inner city warehouse conversions created by a renowned, multi award-winning architect. A unique and extraordinary residence, a masterful synergy of powerful contemporary spaces, architectural vision, design ingenuity and a simply magnificent family home.
Drawing on its former manufacturing roots, highlighting authentic industrial features and emphasizing openness, flow and organic architectural form, a palette of natural elements and textures showcase original steel trusses, a network of fully functioning sprinkler system pipes, glossy exposed aggregate floors, soaring raked ceilings and vast expanses of floor to ceiling glass.
This extraordinary home is incredibly easy to live in, offering a sublime harmony of perfectly zoned and integrated spaces for relaxing, entertaining, study and sleep. A modern black entry door, a hallway bordered by a striking, polished plaster wall on one side and hanging metallic bead curtain on the other, and an enormous open steel door, offering a tantalizing glimpse of vast, open plan light infused spaces. Beyond, sky high ceilings and vast expanses of glass frame and reflect rich foliage, vivid blue skies, sun and moon, cascading light and life inwards.
Anchored by beautiful polished aggregate floors, floor to ceiling glass, neutral walls and soaring ceilings, open plan family spaces are gloriously expansive, yet clearly defined by function - a huge comfy sofa for watching TV, a quieter, more intimate setting around the corner to relax or read a book opposite the perfect art gallery wall, a couple of chairs for a chat and plenty of room to dine with family and friends.
Sliding, frosted glass doors open into a magnificently appointed commercial style kitchen with open stainless steel shelves, stainless steel counter fitted with Gaggenau induction and Teppanyaki cooktop, Ilve oven, Zug steam/combi oven, stone counters, glass splashback and concealed rangehood and large pantry store.
Doors from the main family living area open to a huge, wonderfully private, serene, decked courtyard with high ivy clad walls, mature planted garden beds and spaces to sit, relax, unwind and entertain.
Behind a studded metal pivot door, a heavenly suite of rooms forms a private retreat; a haven of tranquility and sanctuary for adults… a vast master bedroom with floor to ceiling glass wall offering access to the main courtyard, a wall of built-in robes, a simply heavenly bathing room with soaring ceilings and freestanding bath resting on beautiful marble, a vast dressing room with floor to ceiling cabinetry and opulent marble bathroom.
Two further generous bedrooms have a beautiful feature wall or feature ceiling, built-in robes, and overlook a central light filled courtyard. Additionally, there's a luxury marble bathroom and large, practical laundry with plenty of storage.
The secure double garage hosts a large store, and above, a superb multipurpose room with custom shelving and desks, and lounging/TV area, perfect for the kids to hang out or a large home office.
2/47 Forrest St. Your peaceful sanctuary, tranquil haven and quiet oasis in a city that never stops.
