WITH ITS ELEGANT PROPORTIONS AND GLAMOROUS TAKE ON HAMPTONS STYLE, THIS PERTH NEW BUILD TICKS ALL THE BOXES FOR THE YOUNG FAMILY THAT CALLS IT HOME
ANNA McCLELLAND
IN GRAND style

Returning home to Perth after four years spent living in Brisbane, Vesna and Justin knew exactly what they were looking for. The only problem? They couldn’t find it. “While we were in Brisbane we just fell in love with Hamptons-style homes,” recalls Vesna. “But they’re near impossible to find in WA.” The only solution? Build their own.

The lucky discovery of a vacant block of land in a picturesque lakeside suburb of Perth marked the spot for their Hamptonsinspired vision to come to life. Family-friendly features for the couple’s two young boys, Louis and Henri, were a must, including an open-plan layout and a kitchen that overlooked the backyard (complete with clever fingerprint-proof cabinetry) and plenty of built-in storage for quick tidying-up of toys when guests come over.

Yet, despite the presence of two small children, this is one home that presents a decidedly grown-up flavour. Interior designer Kelly Donougher from 13 Interiors was brought in to put a modern spin on typical American East Coast style, complete with restrained pops of colour and Vesna’s three design essentials: luxe marble, glints of gold and a dash of black. “I think marble is timeless,” she says. “You see it in old homes and people are still using it to this day, and that’s what we wanted – something that wouldn’t date too quickly.”
