Chic Art Deco Home with a Modern Twist

No detail has been overlooked in the way this Plympton home has been re-invented: clean white interiors, sharp art-deco detailing, cool bespoke kitchen and free indoor-outdoor flow to a private alfresco and beautifully-lit back garden. An elevated veranda, original wide jarrah boards and high ceilings provide the historic backdrop for the careful renewal of the spaces and finishes. It’s bright, airy and easy, with a rare design flair that sets it apart, in this fabulous community location near the river.

A colourful native garden adorns the black-and-white exterior, and the veranda sits high above the street. Inside, bright white walls surround the long jarrah corridor, where a series of arches and striking ceiling detailing in art-deco patterns have been created, and three black chandeliers add some whimsical glamour. Ceiling roses are a feature of all three air-conditioned bedrooms: two filled with light from the north, and one looking through a spectacular leadlight window to the veranda.

A glass door at the end of the corridor separates the bedroom zone, and reveals the open-plan space. The finely designed rear garden is immediately in view beyond, framed by a wall of steel-framed glass which stacks open to the outdoors. The kitchen is by renowned local cabinetmakers Handwerk, with Caesarstone cement tops, stainless steel appliances, and a touch of historic architecture in the retention of the original fireplace. Northern light spills into the living space from magnificent deco leadlight windows framed in matt-black steel, and the stone-paved floors are Bauwerk grey. Featuring custom Handwerk cabinetry and “These Walls” wallpaper, the bathroom is cool and functional, with the high-end matt-black tapware that is typical of the quality finishes everywhere.

Indoor-outdoor living is seamless, flowing to a terrazzo-floored alfresco with white ceiling and recessed lighting. Lined with bamboo plantings on one side and a timber wall on the other, the garden is completely refined and relaxing, with lush ivy and shady trees, including a magnificent gum tree spectacularly lit at night. At the bottom of the garden is a laundry and storage area of black weatherboard and timber, and the outdoor loo has been transformed into a totally luxe powder room, including grasstree design wallpaper!

Everything has the design coherence that comes from attention to detail, a minimalist colour palette and some playful touches. Come and experience the atmosphere and enjoy this special neighbourhood where you can walk to schools, George Street cafes and shopping, and stroll to the river.
