First impressions count!
From the automatic gate and washed aggregate drive you know that this award winning 3 bedroom 2 bathroom original worker's cottage home is a cut above the rest.
Ensconced in the sought after Raphael Park Precinct of Victoria Park, this 1930 built home has been radically transformed whilst still retaining the charm of yesteryear.
Andrew Hagemann of Fringe Architects has created, in equal parts, functional and gorgeous spaces that still let this old home shine.
A clever open plan rear room under a skillion roof with polished concrete floor provides the central living space.
The north facing wall is broken by glazing for perfect winter living and louvres for easy cross ventilation in summer.
This living space incorporates the kitchen and opens to a dining room with vaulted ceiling and spectacular timber veneered lotus effect pendant light.
With an integrated Miele dishwasher, the kitchen is as neat and streamlined as it is functional.
A composite stone topped island bench with waterfall ends, glass splash backs, under bench microwave space, a generous 900mm stainless steel cooker and a massive walk in pantry, perfect for the gourmet chef.
Quintessentially Western Australian, bi-folds, when open, completely link the undercover decked alfresco to the inside living of the home.
A versatile floor-plan means there are three bedrooms should you need them, two with their own ensuite bathrooms.
The main bedroom boasts loads of bespoke built-in storage.
Opening onto an opulent bathroom with his and her recessed vanities, a deep tub and separate shower with a frame-less glass screen.
The main bedroom and ensuite are truly an escape from the everyday.
Design themes run through the home, restraint and austerity, particularly the plasterwork, using negative detail where the walls meet the ceilings instead of cornices so as to not to overwhelm the 1930's design which originally did not have these "excessive" finishes.
The introduction of passive elements into the heating and cooling of the home.
All the original walls have been insulated.
The thermal mass of the concrete floor is exploited with its exposure to the northern sun in winter.
Quality fixtures and fittings, thoughtful detail, deliberate design, all to make a home that is warm, welcoming and a gorgeous play on what was once a worker's cottage.
