With a design brief that centred around the owner's love of art and living well, Art House acts as both a statement of beauty and a very practical family home. Never compromising form over the function, the home manages to perform the day-to-day tasks extremely well, whilst providing a backdrop that is reminiscent of an exquisite international gallery. Polished Terrazzo floors are complemented by Marmorino walls, deliberately reflecting the owners art collection on the ceilings and the floors, creating washes of colour and interest at every turn.
A statement in scale and drama, the oversized pivot door swings open to reveal a deliberately sunken entry-an undeniably impressive first impression. The play on levels heightens the sense of grandeur, drawing you into the home's architectural theatre. Anchoring the space, a soaring double-height void and striking sawtooth staircase-framed by a bold rocket-light balustrade-immediately signal that this is no ordinary home.
Crafted for connection yet distinctly defined, the open-plan living and dining area flows effortlessly while maintaining a sense of individuality. Designed to engage with the entire home, it invites the rituals of entertaining, dining, and cooking to unfold - where everyday moments become a performance of living. Framing a seamless transition to the outdoor terrace, bi-fold doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, inviting effortless alfresco dining and lounging. Overlooking the tranquil gardens and reflection ponds - designed by the late Japanese designer Aji Morozumi - the space becomes a sanctuary of serenity and style. Thoughtfully curated, the landscape unfolds with the graceful presence of Chinese tallow, the gentle movement of koi, and the soothing sound of water, creating an immersive retreat.
The kitchen is both sculptural and practical. At its heart, a vast island bench invites moments of connection - be it a casual drink with guests or a morning coffee. Seamlessly integrated, a walk-in pantry and abundant storage ensure easy organisation, while premium appliances by Gaggenau, Miele, Electrolux and Liebherr elevate the culinary experience.
Upstairs the main bedroom suite commands the southern end of the home. With its own balcony, spacious walk-in-robe and luxurious ensuite, this space is both private and well-appointed. Each of the secondary bedrooms are oversized and feature access to north facing balconies, with two of the bedrooms featuring walk-in-robes and ensuite access.
Positioned in one of Menora's most coveted pockets, Art House enjoys an enviable connection to nature and urban convenience. Directly opposite Patula Park, the residence is also moments from Yokine Regional Open Space and Mount Lawley Golf Club - perfect for morning walks or weekend recreation. Terry Tyzack Aquatic Centre is close by for fitness and leisure, while the city's vibrant energy is just a short commute away, offering the best of both retreat and connectivity.
