Moving from a larger home into something more compact often comes with a few assumptions – that you’re giving something up, scaling back, or settling for less. But this house in Mundaring by Perth custom builders, Kyros Homes, turns that idea on its head, proving that downsizing doesn’t have to mean compromising on comfort, quality, or design.
At just 235sqm, the home delivers everything you’d expect from a luxury build, simply within a smarter, smaller footprint. Blending modern and classic influences, it reflects Kyros Homes’ commitment to thoughtful planning and beautifully executed detail and stands as another standout addition to their growing portfolio.
Designed around the owners’ changing lifestyle, the brief focused on creating a personalised, future-proof home aligned with ‘Silver Liveable’ guidelines. The outcome is a refined downsized residence that remains practical, elegant, and highly liveable, while preserving the standard of living they were accustomed to.
This beautiful new custom build brings together contemporary and traditional styling to create a fresh interpretation of a country cottage. The home’s exterior features low maintenance steel cladding with high quality finish using MAC nail strip in a matte finish supplied by Metroll, offering a fresh and innovative take on the traditional style homes. The MAC nail strip system, which snaps over joining panels to conceal fixings, contributed to the clean, refined appearance of the façade while ensuring long‑term durability and ease of maintenance.
At the heart of the design and focal point of the home is the large scale spectacular kitchen equipped with scullery and extensive built-in cabinetry in pearl white throughout. Integrated with high end appliances and premium joinery ensures the home will last for many generations of entertaining.
The kitchen being the main living area is connected with direct space to the alfresco area making it perfect for entertaining. The raking alfresco and use of aluminium windows and doors throughout show the more traditional aspects of the home with the front veranda and feature gables along with the traditional interior.
The home comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two‑car garage with a dedicated storeroom. A joint scullery and laundry sit directly behind the kitchen, supporting the clients’ desire for a highly functional layout. The master suite is positioned at the front of the home and opens onto the veranda, creating a peaceful retreat complete with a generous walk‑in robe and an ensuite designed to accommodate a freestanding bath and walk‑in shower while remaining practical for aging in place.
The construction of this home required specialized details for flashings and corner mouldings, demonstrating Kyros Homes’ expertise in delivering custom solutions tailored to the client’s needs. The overall design aims to provide a high-functioning, stylish living space that caters to the individual preferences of the homeowner.
The attention to detail and dedication to use premium materials, the design and focus on creating a comfortable and aesthetically appealing compact luxury home has made this a stand out project for Perth’s luxury builders Kyros Homes and an example of their exceptional building work.
Meeting the clients’ brief required careful planning to ensure the home felt spacious despite its smaller footprint. The garage was designed to comfortably house two vehicles while accommodating decades’ worth of tools. The living and dining areas were shaped to host family and visitors without ever feeling cramped, maintaining the sense of openness the clients valued.
The highlight of the project lies in its seamless integration of contemporary finishes with a highly functional layout tailored to the clients’ individual needs. Every element reflects Kyros Homes’ commitment to craftsmanship, comfort, and longevity. The Jacoby stands as a testament to their ability to deliver personalised, future‑ready homes that honour both aesthetic aspirations and practical requirements.
