Applecross

Perched on an elevated block with sweeping Swan River views, this bespoke design is a masterpiece of modern architecture and functional design.

Expansive balconies, a private lift, and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces ensure comfort and connection, while sustainable features and custom-crafted details, from sculptural staircases to a gourmet kitchen, make this residence as enduring as it is breathtaking.

Site-Specific Architecture: Designing with a View

Maximising the potential of its elevated block, this home was crafted to embrace the natural light and sweeping views of the Swan River. Large-format windows, expansive wraparound balconies, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions allow every space to feel connected to the surrounding environment. The architectural layout creates visual continuity, ensuring the home interacts harmoniously with its setting.

A private lift offers easy access to all levels, making this property ideal for downsizers or families seeking the convenience of multi-level living.

Sustainability and Longevity

This project reflects sustainable architectural principles, ensuring minimal environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of comfort. Cross-ventilation, passive solar design, and locally sourced, durable materials were integrated into the design to ensure the home’s longevity.

Every detail of this home demonstrates a commitment to architectural precision and custom craftsmanship. From sculptural staircases to bespoke lighting fixtures, the residence embodies thoughtful design:

  • Custom staircases that act as both functional elements and artistic focal points.
  • Seamless indoor-outdoor flow, enhanced by large sliding doors and expansive balconies.
  • Textural contrast through materials like natural stone, timber, and polished finishes.
  • Bespoke alfresco areas with integrated shading, perfect for year-round entertaining.

The gourmet kitchen is a highlight, designed for both functionality and elegance. Equipped with premium appliances, a butler’s pantry, and custom cabinetry, it is a space tailored to meet the needs of both casual family meals and large-scale entertaining.
