The latest from award-winning Sarah Waller Architecture, Blackwood is a striking contemporary residence, situated on 1.9 acres overlooking the Noosa Valley Golf Course. Designed to capture the essence of its location, the minimalist architecture features an exterior of off-form concrete walls and black timber cladding that from the streetside create a sense of privacy and intrigue. On the opposite side, expansive walls of glass and an L shaped design of two pavilions connected by a glass walkway ensure every room is.

Clean lines and sophisticated palette of stark white and matte black creates a bold contrast, while the paired back interior ensures that nothing detracts from the surrounding scenery.

With five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a powder room, and a five-car garage, Blackwood is both spacious and thoughtfully designed and has been beautifully finished with high quality fittings and fixtures. In the bedrooms, luxurious black timber flooring from Mardegan Legno, contrasts to the white terrazzo tiling found through the majority of the home. In the kitchen high end black appliances are almost invisible amongst the walls of black cabinetry. The home also features three fireplaces including a streamlined Jetmaster fireplace in the living room, and a suspended fireplace on the outdoor deck from BBQ and Fireplace centre.

Sarah Waller’s approach to this project emphasizes clean lines and innovative use of materials to create a deep connection to the environment. Blackwood is not just a home but a tranquil retreat that offers a perfect balance of luxury and natural beauty, all within close proximity to the vibrant Noosa lifestyle.

The exterior of 8 Parker is just as impressive as the interior. Preserving the existing streetscape while enhancing the character of the South Perth river foreshore, two distinct buildings rise from beautifully landscaped surrounds. Designed with optimal sustainability in mind, the northern orientation maximises passive solar gain during the winter months, while dual-aspect dwellings ensure cross ventilation, reducing energy consumption in warmer months. Exceeding the 4 Green Star rating required by the South Perth City Council, 8 Parker also incorporates a rooftop photovoltaic solar array providing renewable energy to the buildings. Generous car parking provisions include electric vehicle chargers, and heat recovery AC systems are implemented throughout.

Additional amenities of 8 Parker include a 25m heated infinity-edge pool, a gym, steam room, communal lounge, and a games room.

8 Parker’s innovative design and commitment to excellence has earned it the distinction of being the first project approved by the Western Australian State Government’s new State Development Assessment Unit (SDAU). The project has been praised for its highquality design, which not only meets but exceeds the stringent requirements of contemporary urban living.

Under the direction of Project Design Director John Colliere and lead designer Philip Geraghty, the talented team at Collere Architecture has delivered a development that sets a new standard in luxury living. Each apartment is a custom sky home, crafted with care and attention to detail.
