This Western Australian residence is situated on a corner site with unobstructed 180 degree views of the Swan River and Perth City beyond. The home’s design and materials were conceived to best express the horizontal and showcase the nature of the panoramic landscape and extraordinary views.

The architectural composition of the home takes advantage of site conditions, prevailing winds, sun penetration, and light. The roof form was envisaged as slender horizontal wings, which float over the glass, masonry and steel structure below.

The home is nestled into a steep river bank and limestone cliff. From both the interiors and from the expansive exterior terraces, the home allows for uninterrupted river views as well as providing a comfortable aesthetic relationship with the site and its surrounding context.

The lower ground floor is anchored into the site and showcases horizontal patterned limestone blocks which reference the natural limestone cliff it is built upon.
