5/65 Palmerston Street, Perth WA 6000

Located within the historic Union Maltings development, this architect’s own residence provides a tastefully renovated warehouse style home within a sought-after urban neighbourhood.

The current owners, responsible for its stylish renovation are husband and wife architects and founders of Fratelle, a multi award-winning national architecture firm. With an impressive portfolio of celebrated works, such as the restoration of the popular Guildford Hotel, these design driven owners have significantly updated this city home giving it a contemporary aesthetic - one that is both sympathetic to the industrial origins of the building and practical for today’s modern lifestyle. From the expansive pressed tin three metre high ceiling in the kitchen and dining, to the use of exposed steel beams, mirrored glass splash-backs and designer-cabinetry, the interior décor merges industrial elements with hi-specification finishes and design elements that discerning urbanites would appreciate.

A home that encourages interaction and playfulness, the owners speak highly of their time in the property and recount the days of not only hosting extravagant parties and entertaining friends on the terrace, but also raising their children there and teaching them to swim in the pool. They had family picnics on the variety of lawn areas and would stroll around the grounds. This is a complex that is equally suited to a couple who appreciate the city life as well as a young family who value the conveniences and secure nature of living within a quality development.
