NORTH COOGEE RESIDENCE
Perth, Western Australia
THE PROJECT
This was project 409 of my practice and very memorable. The clients had a clear vision of what they were wishing to achieve and worked very closely with me on the layout and planning of this home; which was very much a collaboration of client and designer. . The brief was a lifestyle move from a beloved family home. The new home needed to be a fresh design where they could continue an active lifestyle while enjoying the unique culture of Fremantle, and manage comfortably into retirement. Important design criteria of this home was that it embody a modern open living style engaging outdoor spaces. This was achieved by large openings on both levels along with balconies that flow from living spaces. Internally spaces morph into each other defined by ceilings, angles, and subtle wall changes. Excluding the foyer there is a total of 3 lineal meters of passage over 265sqm of living. The home was designed to the absolute limits of the guidelines with regard to site coverage and height; as such sits as a fitting corner piece, uniting the intersection and linking the streetscape of each of the streets the facade addresses.
