Designed for a semi-retired couple in WA’s south West, this new build on the edge of the bush offers privacy in an open setting.
A love of the bush and the search for a peaceful retreat drove the design of this ultra-contemporary home in one of Australia’s most beautiful country locations – WA’s South West region. From the road, it’s a solid structure that stretches across the land, strong in form and presence. Behind the rammed limestone front wall, however, lies an elegant extended-family home with a sense of lightness and sophistication that draws directly from nature.
Having previously lived in a number of country areas with their two children before settling in Bunbury 20 years ago, semi-retired owners Andrew and Lynne knew they wanted their next home to connect with the landscape. It took a couple of years, but in 2014 they found the perfect 1ha hilltop block 10 minutes from the town of Dunsborough. There, architecture and design studio The Colour Royale Design Group (TCR), headed by their son Aaron King, has created a house that blends privacy and hospitality while borrowing magical vistas from the native marri and grass trees beyond.
