Floreat’s Quiet Standout

Designed and built by luxury custom builders Oswald Homes, this striking new residence in the Western suburb of Floreat in Perth blends mid-century modern influences with the needs of modern family life, effortlessly and with unmistakable style.

From the street, the home makes an impression. Sharp lines, bold geometric forms and a breeze-block wall hint at its architectural roots, while the deep, moody tones of Austral Bricks’ La Paloma ‘Azul’ brickwork and timber front door and garage bring warmth and depth to the facade. Rendered white sections and long horizontal planes round out the palette, giving the exterior a sense of calm, grounded confidence.

But this home is more than just good looks. The Arcadia has been designed for the way families live today and for the years to come. At its core is a generous, open-plan living area that spills out to a covered alfresco and pool for outdoor entertaining. A raked ceiling over the dining area adds a sense of space with the height, while the kitchen sits comfortably at the centre of the home.

Finished in soft, polished Caesarstone Osprey, the benchtops offer both durability and refinement. The same stone carries through to the scullery, laundry, and even a handy upstairs kitchenette, creating a seamless sense of cohesion throughout.

In the bathrooms, Caesarstone makes another appearance in shades of Frosty Carrina and Rave bringing a quiet luxury to these everyday spaces.

Comfort was a key priority for the homeowners, and Oswald Homes delivered. Radiant Heating in-slab heating runs beneath the tiled kitchen, scullery, dining, and living spaces, with extra in-screed heating in the ensuite an everyday indulgence that makes the home feel warm and luxurious.

Upstairs is cleverly zoned for the kids, with three bedrooms, a family bathroom, and their own private entertaining area complete with kitchenette. Downstairs, a home theatre opens to a study, offering a more peaceful area for adults or guests to unwind.

The home’s design has already drawn industry attention, with The Arcadia shortlisted as a finalist in the 2024 HIA CSR Western Australian Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards, in the category for New Bathroom up to $25,000.

More than just a new build, The Arcadia is a beautifully executed expression of enduring design principles. It’s a home with presence, purpose and soul crafted to last.

Oswald Homes once again demonstrates why they’re considered one of Perth’s leading luxury home builders. Their ability to balance timeless design with the practicalities of daily life results in homes that feel as good as they look. They’re crafted with care, built with precision, and designed to be cherished for generations.
