Harnessing the beauty of nature Terrace homes offer the best in sustainable living. By JANE EVANS MIRVAC’S latest offering, the Eco Collection, is a limited number of six-star sustainable terrace residences that raise the bar in small-lot living. Priced from $1.395 million, the Swanbourne homes are very stylish, inside and out. These premium quality residences harness the natural elements of sun, water and air with stunning simplicity. Automated louvres allow the sun and fresh sea breezes to infuse the home. A large underground water tank collects rainwater from the roof for use throughout the home, while photovoltaic cells turn sunlight into electricity.
The Eco Collection in Swanbourne raises the standard in small-lot living.
Sleek polished finishes, pure wool carpets, timber and stone floors add texture, warmth and sophistication to the interiors.
Each of the terrace residences, ranging from 312sqm to 319sqm, offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room and a
study nook. Highlights include Di Dietrich appliances, luxury stone bench tops, a double-height light-filled void above the dining area and seamless integration between indoor and outdoor living. Only one freestanding courtyard residence remains. This residence features 274sqm of internal living space, balconies and a double garage. It offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a powder room. Bi-fold doors open the lavishly appointed kitchen out to the central private courtyard, while the master suite has a balcony for soaking up the morning sun. The Eco Collection is located at 16 Birrigon Loop, Swanbourne. It is open on Wednesdays from 1pm to 3pm and on Saturdays from 3pm to 4.30pm. ■
Renovations booming as owners avoid weaker market Quality upgrades the key to significant capital gains over medium term. By CARMELLE WILKINSON WITH the slowing Perth property market, many property owners are choosing to stay and upgrade their properties rather than sell. According to Jones Ballard Property Group director Adrian Ballard, the latest ABS figures for building approvals show that during the first eight months of this financial year, residential building approvals in the City of South Perth jumped to nearly $100 million, compared to about $65 million the year before. “This trend was also evidenced in other premium property markets, with the ABS figures showing that during the same period, residential building approvals in the central Perth area, which includes the western suburbs, jumped by over $65 million to $378.5 million,’’ he said. “These property owners are looking to the future because they understand the premium
property market is now at rock-bottom and they can achieve significant capital gains over the medium term through upgrading their homes. “Typically, original character homes in the older suburbs of Perth such as South Perth, Como, Kensington, North Perth and the western suburbs are high in land value and are currently ripe for upgrading if the property owner is looking to sell in the medium term. “Many properties in these older areas of Perth have under-performed in terms of their long-term average capital growth. Over the past year, for example, the median price of a home in Como has increased by just 3.5 per cent, however, over the past decade, the median price of a home in this suburb has risen each year on average by 11.7 per cent.”
Mr Ballard says he expects the trend of upgrading older homes in prime areas of Perth to increase over the coming year as confidence returns to the property market and owners take advantage of competitive building costs. “While now is a prime time to purchase an older home for upgrading purposes, buyers have to ensure they undertake the necessary research before making a final decision to buy,’’ he said. “They should have a realistic budget and get an appraisal from a qualified builder regarding improvement costs as opposed to constructing a new home on the block.” Mr Ballard said high-quality renovations in keeping with the original character of the home sell for a higher price than homes upgraded to suit an owner’s personal taste. ■
A 2011 Peter Stannard design.
2011 collection an inspiration IF you’re thinking about building a new home, look no further than Peter Stannard Homes.

Director Peter Stannard said his company’s vision and commitment had always been to build beautiful contemporary homes, inspired by comfortable living and effortless style. “We also want to build homes that people can love, and live in, for life,’’ he said. “We hope our Book of Homes is a showcase of this." The new collection offers readers not only the opportunity to view the very best of the company’s single and twostorey homes, but to also embark on a exciting and inspiring home-building journey.

Rarity true to its roots Art nouveau soars to new heights in this home. By JANE EVANS ART nouveau might seem an unusual influence in a renovation but for the owners of this sprawling Farnley Street home, it is where they find the most beauty. The art nouveau detailing in the two-level home is unparalleled. With a combination of fish-scaled towers, gables, extensive wrap-around verandas across two levels, wrought iron and distinctive fretwork, the home is arresting from first sight. Much of the interior is in the French art nouveau style rarely seen in Perth. Custom- designed stained glass graces nearly every room. There are three vast living areas plus a formal dining, gourmet kitchen, four large bedrooms, a study, and three large bathrooms. The floor plan lends itself perfectly to gracious entertaining and family life. With soaring 3.3-metre ceilings and ornate plasterwork, the home also features
wide passageways with archways, large bay windows, coffered ceilings and marble throughout. The “piece de resistance”, as the owners put it, is the grand salon on the upper level, adjacent to a study/library – a stunning room complete with the finest in craftsmanship. A 1630-bottle wine cellar lies beneath the home, and there is an oversized twocar undercroft garage with workshop. The back yard features a private swimming pool flanked by lovely established gardens, bore-serviced and fully reticulated. Farnley Towers, as it is named, is truly a unique home with wonderful style and character, and city views – all within a short walk to the prestigious Perth College and Beaufort Street cafe strip. ■

Oozing with star quality Iconic modernist design, writes JANE EVANS FLOREAT is known for some of its striking modernist architecture but this iconic Raymond Jones design is my favourite. The two-level residence epitomises the best of 1960s architecture with clean lines, modular shapes and glass – lots of glass. Elevated above street level, on the prestigious Boulevard, the luxurious home is secured by soaring palm trees, giving it a Hollywood hills feel. The crisp white exterior lies behind a high concrete wall, keeping guests in and uninvited company out. A large fenced swimming pool flanks the entrance and a terraced alfresco with oversized sliding doors connecting the outdoors to the inside. Inside, large light filled living areas are interconnected through spacious voids and split-levels. The kitchen and dining occupy the upper level and have a fantastic northern tree-top panorama towards the Wembley golf course. A spacious living room on the ground level has been sound proofed, making the ideal theatre/games room for children, or another retreat for adults. Alternatively, it would make a fantastic home office or guest suite. Glass sliding doors connect the room to the pool and alfresco.

Sam Keats. d354534
External affairs complete with hard yakka ‘If you can imagine it, we can create it,’ is the motto of this company, writes JANE EVANS HAVING come from a sales and marketing background, Sam Keats wasn’t all that familiar with getting his hands dirty. But he was familiar with project management which led the Cottesloe resident to start up his own landscape architecture and construction company, Living Environs. Formerly from Adelaide, Sam moved to Perth four years ago and was called on by friends to help them when a few things went wrong with the installation of their pool and outdoor area. Sam said working with different contractors can be problematic which is why Living Environs offers a unique “concept to com-
pletion” service to clients wanting to revamp or create a back yard. “This means we can organise everything from the concept and design to getting plans through council and subcontracting all of the work,” he said. “You can engage us to manage your entire project, or we can focus on specific aspects.” Living Environs works with home builders, residential and renovation clients and is starting to work on small to medium commercial projects. Some of their work has included the design and construction of swimming pools and spas, outdoor rooms, pavilions and porticos, outdoor kitchens and bars,
tennis courts, water and fire features, outdoor lighting and furniture and much more. Sam says that each job is unique and the company’s motto is that, chances are if you can imagine it, they can create it. Living Environs was established in 2009 and quickly established
itself at the forefront of outdoor development. Their website went live just over a month ago and bookings for a free consultation can now be made online. Visit www.livingenvirons.com. au for more information. ■
