Wow, this Bicton home is like something you would see on Grand Designs.
It all starts with the facade – a brutalist concrete wall is pitched against the soft golden hue of timber cladding.
It’s a lovely contrast and from the off you know you’re in for a modern architectural treat.
So what’s the inside of this four bedroom three bathroom home like?
Well the designers have seamlessly incorporated wood at every possible juncture and it’s a bit like a luxurious treehouse.
This is really evident in the spectacular kitchen, where the island/breakfast bar has lovely curved wooden panels.
The wood offsets the polished concrete floors on the ground floor, giving the area a Scandinavian bent.
From the kitchen you have lovely vistas of the back garden with the huge sliding doors peeling back to give the ultimate indoor-outdoor flow.
The rest of the open plan living/dining area is just as nice, especially the lounge.
A gas fire is set in a lovely wooden ‘cabinet’ and the glass doors can be opened on multiple sides, giving the impression you are sitting in the garden as you watch TV.
You reach the first floor via a set of stylish stairs with arty ring lights dangling from the cathedral-like ceiling.
There’s a good layout with all the bedrooms upstairs.
They have built-in robes and the main has a contemporary ensuite with a bath.
There’s also a study/extra living area up here and two bathrooms.
The first floor has a softer feel with the concrete floors giving way to walnut floorboards and a neutral finish.
Up here, amongst the treetops, you have fantastic views of the surrounding suburbs and the Swan River.
The hidden gem in this house is the garden pavilion and circular pool out the back.
The pavilion has a bathroom and sauna and will be a lovely retreat come winter.
But we’re still in the throes of summer, so you will be enjoying the pool and the alfresco, which has a built-in kitchen and BBQ.
A collaboration between Tomasini Construction and Studio Derickx, this eco-efficient home includes a lift, extra downstairs toilet, American black walnut, polished concrete and solid brass fittings.
Situated on a 633sqm hilltop block on Westbury Crescent, it’s in the catchment for Richmond Primary School, Bicton Primary School and John Curtin College Of The Arts.
This Bicton abode is an architectural treat with amazing features and views to boot.
