The Empire display home was especially envisioned by the team at Residential Attitudes
to reach a good balance of light, volume and indoor-outdoor space
optimization. Located near Perth in Western Australia, the modern villa
was built on a narrow site, lifting the upper level as high as possible,
in order to elevate it above the street noise and bathe it in sunlight
throughout the year. Raw natural materials were employed for the
construction, such as pacific teak cladding, concrete breeze blocks,
timber parquetry floors and internal face brickwork.
The brief of the project requested a residence that would embrace the
aesthetics and intent of mid-century design. The layout was imagined to
cater for multi-generational families: “A separate living and alfresco
area were situated on the ground floor to relate to the lap pool and two
storey light well. Two minor bedrooms share a central bathroom with an
additional powder room and separate laundry with chute. The reading room
and entry hall with floating stone stairs gaze out to the lap pool and
courtyard beyond”. Do your own design tastes relate to the clean
simplicity of this Australian crib ?
