Completed in 2012, this project is a large luxury home for a family consisting of a middle aged couple and four children of different ages. The project is located on a beautiful sloping site in the Millbrook Estate, Yallingup.

The Challenge:

To design a spectacular weekender, short term luxury rental and future residence for a rural, steeply sloping, bushfire prone and high clay content site with its best views looking west.

We came up with an ultra simple, ultra minimal, elegant L- shaped plan that embraced the building envelope and physically locked in to and floated above the landscape.

DESIGN FEATURES:

• large concrete rainwater tank hidden beneath the double garage.

• living areas on the upper level with bedrooms on the lower level to maximise views. 

• back-to back double fireplaces that heat both the inside and outside lounge areas.

• covered alfresco deck with built-in kitchen connecting to a separate studio/library.

• fully retractable all weather external venetian blinds to the west elevation.

• kitchen and butler’s pantry designed with the help of Must Wine Bar’s Russell Blaikie.

Material Used :

1. Midland Brick – Bricks - Fastwall

2. Select Stone – Granite Stonework

3. Caesarstone - Countertops
