Winner of the 2022 HIA Award for Custom Built Home $2.2M–$3M, this expansive luxury residence by Adrian Zorzi is well deserving of its place in one of Perth’s most sought-after coastal enclaves. Despite its scale and sophistication, an expertly chosen material palette that includes rammed earth walls, and extensive use of stone and timber, have given the home a relaxed beachy vibe that perfectly captures the spirit of the Cottesloe lifestyle.
Designed in collaboration with architecture and design studio Milieu Creative, the brief for this four bedroom, five bathroom residence was to create a timeless family home that feels both elegant and relaxed. From the moment you step through the oversized custom timber door, the home delivers on that vision – a warm, earthy ambiance greets you immediately. Throughout, there’s an unmistakable sense of space and light, enhanced by clerestory windows and a skylight above the staircase, which amplify the natural light streaming in from a wall of windows overlooking the internal courtyard.
Natural materials give the home warmth and texture, rammed earth walls ground it in place, cedar-framed windows and travertine floors soften its contemporary lines, while large openings and louvred windows welcome natural light and cooling sea breezes, allowing the home to breathe and take full advantage of its coastal surroundings. Designed to take full advantage of its coastal position, this residence exemplifies the kind of luxury custom homes Cottesloe is celebrated for.
Timber features continue in the open-plan kitchen dining and living space, with a combination of sleek white and timber veneer cabinetry used in the kitchen, and a custom entertainment unit and timber shelving in the living space.
Another highlight of the home is the focus on connection between indoor and outdoor spaces which have been designed for year-round enjoyment. Seamlessly opening up the home from the living space via glass sliding doors, an adjacent alfresco area offers all-seasons functionality thanks to operable louvres that allow sunlight in or provide shade and shelter when needed. An outdoor fireplace also ensures this space remains inviting even on cooler nights and throughout winter.
Of course, no coastal home is complete without a stunning custom pool and here it’s paired with a beautifully designed pool house that further extends the living spaces outdoors. It’s the perfect addition to a home that has everything you need for both stylish entertaining and relaxed family living. From inside to out, the exceptional quality of finishes throughout makes it clear this is a home of the finest calibre and one truly deserving of its accolades.
