Frank Lloyd-Wright Inspired

A highly sought after corner building site, situated opposite the river in  Perth’s highly sought after Applecross, called for a home that was nothing short of spectacular, and that is certainly what Perth custom builder Averna Homes have delivered in this luxurious family residence, recently winning them 8 industry awards including the highly prestigious HIA Perth Home of the Year & the HIA Western Australian Home of the Year.

Expertly designed to take advantage of the natural 4.5m fall from the rear to the front, the home draws inspiration from Frank Lloyd-Wright’s iconic ‘Falling Water’ house, incorporating multiple levels that define various zones and visibly manifest in a striking facade of floating horizontal lines that cascade down to the riverfront.

The client’s brief was centred around family living, desiring a home that was contemporary yet timeless, and whilst being expansive and luxurious, still felt like a home. A carefully chosen material palette, that includes extensive use of stone and timber in various forms, adds an organic element throughout this impressive residence creating a sense of warmth and homeliness to the airy open spaces.

An upper level void creates soaring ceilings above the ground floor open-plan living areas and allows an abundance of natural light to flood into the home through double-height glazing. The addition of a raised clerestory enables cross breeze ventilation and natural cooling of the home via cool air blowing off the river and entering the home through louvres on the ground floor which pushes the hot air upwards to escape through the clerestory windows.

Fully integrated into the design of the home and sitting centre stage is an incredible outdoor entertaining area, which incorporates a spectacular 16m infinity pool with built-in mosaic tiled spa, outdoor cinema area and covered alfresco. A continuation of the stone flooring from interior to exterior enhances the connection to the outdoors and creates a seamless transition between the spaces.

Unique and exciting architectural features abound throughout this outstanding luxury residence, from rustic stone cladding at the entry of the home, to a glorious skylight above the rain shower in the master ensuite. A myriad of planters are also scattered throughout the home connecting the interior through greenery to the beautifully landscaped gardens that surround the entire property. Exceptional in every way, this is a home that is well deserving of the accolades it has received and true credit to the skill and experience of the Averna Homes team.
