NEWS
Building design flair comes ‘naturally’ Building designers eclipse architects when it comes to residential design work in WA, reports JANE EVANS A GREAT design is not always the work of an architect. In fact, more then 85 per cent of residential homes in WA are the work of building designers, according to the Building Designers Association of Western Australia (BDAWA). While the difference between the two is minimal, building designers seem to attract less public recognition than their fellow architects. Academically, the difference is between a university degree and, in most cases, a combination of diploma studies and/or practical experience in the building industry. In practice, it is simply a question of interpretation and application. According to BDAWA, in Western Australia there is no difference in the work that can be done by a building designer to an
architect. Building designer Douglas Paton operates multi-award winning Subiaco practice D4 Designs. He said building designers often faced the challenge of the public perceiving architects to be the only people who can design their home, which is not the case. “Design flair cannot be taught, you either have it or you don’t, regardless of how or where you studied,” he said. “Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the most popular ‘architects’ in history, was actually only a draftsman who was just born with a talent for design – the talent was nurtured, encouraged and the rest is history.” Paton started his practice about 10 years ago after working for other designers and architects. “I design because I am passionate about it, it’s not about making statements, it’s simply

about designing for the people who live in the house,” he said. “I don’t want my clients to change their lifestyle to suit the design; I want to change the design to suit their lifestyle. “For them this building is the most important building in the world.” At 34, the BDAWA member is also passionate about heading up a new group within the association for young designers, like himself.
“I want young designers to keep their youth and enthusiasm, but benefit from the knowledge and experience of some of our respected veterans in the industry,” he said. “BDAWA has been invaluable in promoting and supporting building designers with professional knowledge in seminars and courses, and ensures that all designers have access to the latest suppliers, products, regulations and industry developments.” ■
Brokers can help to navigate the minefield If you’re not property savyy, prepare for a multitude of headaches, an expert tells CARMELLE WILKINSON FOR most people, building a new home can be stressful, but when coupled with building restrictions, council regulations and budget blowouts, you have yourself one giant headache. The western suburbs is a unique market, where the majority of new homes built are the result of total renovations and knockdown and rebuild. You could get lost in the jargon that is building specifications, site works, title releases, land covenants, town planning schemes and addenda specifications. Tristan Kirkham from New Home Building Brokers can help alleviate the pain of building with expert advice on building your dream home in a location you will love. Acting as a medium between clients and the builder/ designer/architect and land sales agent, a building broker offers unbiased information about these new home builders, enabling you to make an informed decision about what home
would best suit your lifestyle and budget. Paid by way of commission included in the house price, they operate in the same way a mortgage broker does with the bank. “Not only is our service free, but we can help save you time and money when building your dream home,” Mr Kirkham said. “New Home Building Brokers can help you find land for sale, and help you in choosing the right block of land for your new home.” Mr Kirham said one of the biggest pitfalls when building a home was not knowing what you can and cannot build on the block. “Before you commit to buying a block of land, give us a call,’’ Mr Kirkham said. “Our past experience tells us that our clients who have purchased a block and then engaged a home builder have had the biggest challenges to hurdle such as restrictions with design and budget blowouts from lack of knowledge and understanding.” Mr Kirkham said finding the right location to build on was everything, and looking for a properly planned estate that has
minimal establishment cost and all the extras completed was vital in the resale value of the home. New Home Building Brokers also help clients who wish to knock down an existing home in an established area and build their dream home. Mr Kirkham said it was essential people understood what was involved in a knockdown and rebuild process, as you could find yourself with limited building options on a Tristan Kirkham... unbaised complicated block. information offered. “We find the best design or create a design to suit the block and then find our clients the best possible deal by comparing various homebuilders,’’ he said.

Resort-style heaven This opulent City Beach home with panoramic ocean views oozes resort-like luxury at every turn, writes JANE EVANS. SOUTH City Beach is not at all remote but this Branksome Gardens residence made me feel as though I was far, far away. A clean-lined interior that is uncomplicated, open and spacious dictates its undeniable resort-like feel. Uninterrupted panoramic views and direct access to the ocean add to the relaxed ambience. The home was built two years ago by Limited Edition Luxury Homes, but appears brand new. The finest in natural materials have been
used to create an indoor and outdoor sanctuary. A very special formal entrance lined with Spanish limestone features glass windows capturing beautifully designed ponds and timber decks with frangipani trees. Steps lead up to the first floor of the home where a fitted-out home theatre and cedarlined pitched roof games room with fireplace are positioned overlooking the street. Across the hallway, a guest bedroom with cedar doors opening out to a Juliet balcony also features a private ensuite.
At the other end of the level, a designer kitchen and intimate lounge with a travertine and marble fireplace and spacious dining area are positioned to take in views of Rottnest, and spill out to an outdoor kitchen. The north-facing orientation of the infinity lap pool and alfresco allows the area to be bathed in winter sun. There is also a wading pool for the children and a Sonos music system. Feature stone cladding and neutral tones exude sophistication. The second level of the home features a
master suite that will leave most astounded. The enormous space incorporates a builtin bar area with marble vanity tops, a private entertaining balcony with 180-degree views of the ocean, and a stunning elevated stone bathtub with nothing but a clear full-length glass panel separating it from the bedroom and stunning views. There are also two minor bedrooms on this level, each with built-in robes. Sprawled over 637sqm, there is no shortage of space or style in this magnificent lifestyle home. ■

whom I know vaguely telling her stylist that she was interested in buying a certain property in Mount Hawthorn. I live close by and know that the owners are selling because the neighbours who rent the property next door are very loud and party constantly. Should I mention this to this lady? A: OK well now we have really entered “moral dilemma” land, so it is a hard one to call. What I can tell you is that if the agent selling the home has knowledge of the neighbours’ behaviour they have to disclose this to the buyer. If you really feel the need to get involved perhaps you could say casually to your acquaintance “I wonder what the neighbours are like…perhaps you should ask the agent about them…”

Q: I have just signed a threemonth agreement with a real estate agent to sell my home, but have now decided to leave it until next year. What are my obligations under this agreement? A: You are under no obligation to sell your home under this agreement and can withdraw your property at any time. If there are any costs that have been incurred by the agent, they should be reimbursed. The agreement just means that you cannot list with another agent during this period – if you did, you may find yourself paying two commissions! Q: I am selling my home and moving to Queensland and I want to take some things from the home that my agent has suggested I leave (for instance, my curtains that match my bed cover). What am I obliged to leave behind when I sell? A: The chattels that are normally required to be left behind are fixed floor coverings (that is, carpets but not rugs), window treatments (curtains and blinds) and light treatments (not including plug-in lamps). So curtains would normally have to stay unless stipulated prior to writing an offer. If you would like to take the matching curtains, I would suggest you replace them prior to marketing the property.

A minor revamp would restore this riverfront mansion to its former cutting-edge glory. By JANE EVANS ARCHITECT Neil Wood, whom the owner recalls as being ‘very pedantic’, designed this Jutland Parade residence in the mid 1980s.
More than two decades later, Wood’s meticulous detailing is still evident throughout this beautifully designed and solidly structured riverfront home. The sheer enormity of it is breathtaking. Twelve-foot ceilings allow space and light to interact beautifully against the stunning backdrop of the river. In its day, the home would have been cutting edge and cosmetic changes are all that are needed to bring this home into the 21st century. A creative interiors enthusiast could transform it into a an ultra-modern and very sophisticated home with little effort. The frame of the house is magnificent, with
sensational 180-degree river views from almost every room. Entry is via the second level, directly into the main living areas. A sunken bar and dining area are a favourite of the owners, ideal for entertaining, with glass sliding doors opening out to a wide balcony. The kitchen and casual meals area are located towards the front of the home, with access to a sun-drenched courtyard via french doors. David Cruickshank Reserve is directly opposite the home, providing a pleasant view and a wonderful space for children to play. The ground floor of the home, which was renovated during the 1990s, accommodates three bedrooms, each with river vistas, an enormous bathroom, and a fantastic studio
space with a built-in kiln and sink, and sliding doors out to a spacious terrace garden with views that can never be built out. At the other end of the ground floor wing, the former garage has been converted into a wonderful games room with a bar, and is adjacent to another bathroom, beautifully appointed with neutral-coloured marble. The top floor of the home is dedicated entirely to the master bedroom, its dressing room and ensuite. Again, the ceilings are soaring, creating a feeling of grandeur. The home also has direct access down to the river. Occupied by the same owners for more than 25 years, this quality property is a rare opportunity to secure prime real estate and a home you can leave your mark on. ■

APARTMENTS
Penthouse amazing from every angle Lift opens straight into foyer while the four-car garage is a stunner, writes JANE EVANS I HAVE often driven past the Cygne apartment complex and admired its sleek structure, prompting me to wonder what the interiors looked like. Once inside the penthouse apartment of the multi award-winning complex, I was not disappointed. The current owners bought the apartment five years ago and completely transformed it from contemporary to classic. A subtle European influence is evident throughout with timeless appointments in every room. Positioned high above the hustle and bustle below, there is a surreal feeling to this top floor residence. A lift opens straight into the private foyer
of the home. Floor to ceiling glass captures a heightened view of the iconic blue boatshed across the road, which few will ever see. Tasmanian blackbutt timber graces the floors. Solid Victorian French doors open into a formal lounge and dining with fourmetre high ceilings and picture windows creating a sense of incessant space. Sheer window drapes, combined with handpainted wallpaper and imported light fittings, are testament to the owner’s stunning taste, creating an elegant but understated home. Still, the view is the showstopper here. An astounding and rare 360-degree panorama of the city, Swan River, Kings Park to the north-west and the Darling Ranges on
the skyline to the east, is the sweeping outlook – the perfect complement to this magnificent home. The workmanship of the kitchen is second to none, featuring fine Italian marble benchtops and integrated stainlesss steel appliances. The master bedroom and guest suites are in a separate wing off the foyer, together with a study and a beautiful library lined with stunning timber cabinetry. Wide, wrap-around terraces offer an infinite variety of spaces for outdoor relaxation whatever the season, and a terrace barbecue kitchen adds another dimension to this exquisite alfresco dining experience.

Nautical lines add freshness Gorgeous beachfront home with uninterrupted ocean views makes the perfect getaway or the ultimate residence. By SAMANTHA JONES THIS double-storey beachfront home is modern and nautical in style. Set on the quiet Quindalup beachfront, it benefits from residing in one of Dunsborough’s premier beach locations and is only 2km from town. Near-new, the home has uninterrupted views of the ocean, which are captured from every window. An outdoor entertaining deck also enjoys these vistas and provides an exceptional entertaining zone. It has a decked ceiling with downlights. An entry hall leads to an informal lounge room with sliding-door access to the front lawn. A timber staircase leads to the main living areas, which are open-plan in design. The kitchen has stainless-steel appliances and overlooks the dining area and outdoor deck, providing excellent internal and external connectivity. The master bedroom suite is a highlight and there is a second double bedroom, study and powder room. There are also three minor bedrooms – one with its own ensuite – and a laundry. The 911sqm property is fully fenced and includes a rear double garage. All gardens are reticulated for easy care. The home is suited to those wanting a permanent residence or those just wanting a lock-up-and-leave holiday home. ■

Development options abound Homestead’s huge 2000sqm site would allow for six units, each with its own street frontage. By SAMANTHA JONES UNSURPASSED panoramic views of the ocean, Busselton Jetty and Cape Naturaliste are enjoyed from this 2175sqm site. Renovated throughout, the north-facing beachfront home could be a potential six-unit site with over 32 metres of frontage. With excellent investment potential, potential buyers looking to subdivide could ensure all six units have their own street frontage. It could also be split into two beachfront units, so the pool and workshop could be retained. Deep sewerage is also available from both sides of the block. The current homestead combines open and separate living and offers plenty of accommodation for families with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Three of the generous-sized bedrooms have ocean views
including the big master bedroom which has a separate study area and ensuite. A large open-plan living, dining and kitchen area serves the interior’s central zone. The kitchen has a striking white aesthetic, built-in fridge recess, lots of bench and cupboard space and an external outlook. Both the kitchen and dining are tiled, while the lounge room has carpet. A separate activity or games room provides further living space. The rear undercover paved patio area opens to an enormous back yard with in-ground swimming pool and powered workshop. There are two separate driveways, a single garage with automatic roller door under main roof plus rear access to big powered workshop. ■
