The Warehaus is a sleek contemporary dream home situated in a suburban neighborhood in the coastal city of Perth, Australia. Designed as a spec property by Residential Attitudes, wood, concrete and metal drive this home’s cool aesthetic, while an integrated passive solar energy system completes the package.
The two-story home is striking with dark timber cladding set against bright white, light-filled interiors and soars with a desirable openness. On the main level, the living room shares space with the modern kitchen, divided only by the stunning ethanol fireplace unit, a floating concrete partition. Colors in both areas are rooted in black, white and grey-brown–including the stone flooring–while woods and an exotic print accent rug by the sofa add warmth. A nearby work study/library is located down the hall.
A bay of sliding glass doors brings the outside in, a splendid large patio with lounge seating and an H-shaped custom stainless steel outdoor grill. Dramatic metal screening and an exposed upper mezzanine with gridded floor contribute a decidedly industrial edge. A green lawn extends from this entertainment area, reaching into the landscaped yard which remains private as a result of the home’s layout.
Vertical wood beams are set as a wall down one hallway, leading to the master suite which also resides on this floor and possesses its own private courtyard. A wall of horizontal timber planks becomes the bed’s headboard, while a whimsical, printed wallpaper creates interest in the otherwise black-and-white space. The minimalist bath here is swathed in taupe stonework, while a linear white basin and glazed walk-in shower help create the intended oasis.
A cantilevered staircase positioned against double-story windows which overlook the terrace and gardens leads to the upstairs living quarters. This zone features wood flooring and includes two bedrooms, a separate lounge and kitchenette.
An ideal home for today’s extended family, The Warehaus is a contemporary dream residence with green energy, smooth finishes, abundant light and a spaciousness making it a livable dwelling for all generations to enjoy.
