Peppermint Grove Residence

The view from this elevated site are simply stunning and that’s what we wanted to embrace and showcase. They sweep from North Fremantle and Mosman Park along the Swan River, and over to the city and beyond.

With this in mind, we created a house that opens upwards and outwards from inside to out. The dramatic “folded” skillion roof and angular plan is an unmistakable responnse to this idea.

The raw and textural nature of the rammed recycled concrete and limestone grounds the building with the timber details providing a level of softness and warmth. The black zince is in high contrast to the walls with the form and dark colour high-lighting the hierarchy of the upper living spaces.
