Award-winning design studio, Rezen, served as the creative mastermind behind the architectural vision and interior of this spectacularly remodelled 1920s home. Guided by heritage conservation principles throughout, the residence achieves a magnificent fusion of old and new, respectfully combining modern living with original features.
Rhys Bowring (formerly of Kerry Hill architects, the design team behind Perth's COMO The Treasury and the State Theatre Centre) and Zenifa Bowring are the principals from Rezen who instilled an indelible 'luxury boutique hotel' aesthetic into the home. Teaming up with Bistel Construction, the renovations recently won a Western Australian Master Builders Award and a national award nomination.
Sumptuous, smoky espresso-hued timber flooring, sealed with European wax oil, flows seamlessly against an ethereal interior palette of custom-blended white. Repeated throughout the home, Carrara marble features across several bespoke vanity units and throughout the designer kitchen, offset by custom-made Brodware and Astra Walker tapware.
Unique US-designed Visual Comfort pendants and picture wall-lights add refined character, while a breathtaking Deco-style chandelier cascades down the central stair void, creating a dramatic architectural centrepiece and gallery space.
Extending from the wide-set hallway, enhanced by its original arched mouldings and frosted-glass replica drop-chain pendant lights, are three generous bedrooms and a cosy sitting room featuring an original fireplace - each adorned with meticulously preserved ceiling roses.
An inviting central landing, crowned by the magnificent two-tiered glass chandelier, anchors the home and connects a double-flight staircase: one descending to the vast open-plan living, kitchen, and dining zone below, and the other ascending above to a dreamy master retreat.
Framed by expanses of Carrara marble, modern black cabinetry, and premium appliances, the striking kitchen is appointed with two ceramic Belfast sinks, dual Neff wall ovens, a Wolf induction cooktop, two integrated Miele dishwashers, and a high-end, integrated fridge-freezer pair; adjacent is a generous butler's kitchen with floor-to-ceiling storage for dishes and glasswareperfectly designed for effortless entertaining and family living.
Tucked near the living space is the delightful reveal of a luxurious powder room with a magnificent, custom-designed marble vanity.
Heritage-style doors from the living room reveal lush, manicured gardens and a vast pavilion-style alfresco furnished with Sonos ceiling speakers, timber decking and an outdoor kitchen, anchored by a Zeigler & Brown Turbo Elite barbecue and views over a tranquil lagoon-style saltwater swimming pool.
Upstairs, a dramatic master suiteenveloped in billowy, natural sheersoccupies the entire floor, set across three seamless zones divided by pocket doors. A light-dappled sitting room precedes a generous bedroom (bolstered by a batten-and-board bedhead feature wall) and an expansive dressing room, fitted with bespoke cabinetry.
Marble herringbone heated flooring, and a magnificent custom-designed double vanity and walk-in rain shower (with integrated exhaust-fan & automated sky light) complete the timeless aesthetic of this soul-soothing sanctuary.
