Subi Park Architecture of Delight Photography

The client's aspiration was to redesign their home to host people often especially during the summer. This inspired them to rethink the spatial arrangement within their home, opting for the complete removal of the existing kitchen into an old sewing room on the other side of the adjacent wall, adding a barbecue and external fireplace and storage, lastly, changing the existing laundry into a butler's pantry for easy access as it would be behind the proposed kitchen.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF DELIGHT

Delight the concept was inspired by the context of Subiaco. Delight is birthed from the fusion of subiaco’s culture and the growing trajectory of Perth. The aim is to create spaces of authenticity which offer long term residents the opportunity to partner with the old and new culture of Subiaco and assimilate easier into Subiaco and Perth.

SITE CONTEXT AND CONCEPT

Movement

Significant pedestrian travel along the roads of many boutique stores such as Rockeby Rd

Small roads and dense boutique stores along Rokeby Rd makes travelling by foot a desired choice.

Vacant Land

Vacant land allows for economic growth opportunities and a populous suburb making high density living an appropiate living solution for the housing demand.
