Perth St, Cottesloe 2009

A tight 270m² site required efficient site planning around a north facing courtyard and lap pool. A 3 bedroom. 2 bathroom, 3 living room house for a small family has been achieved whilst maintaining quality light and volume. The house is passive solar and incorporates solar panels, grey water and low e glass. A modernist elevation is dominated by the use of copper panels.

These add texture to the otherwise minimalist elements, and will weather over time reflecting its coastal context.
