IT is not hard to see why the judgesat this year’s WA ArchitectureAwards were impressed with thisCottesloe stunner.
Designed by Bates Smart +Madeleine Blanchfield Architects, theSalvado Road residence was among19 innovative projects in the westernsuburbs nominated for an award.
The compact and low-maintenancehome, designed for a retired couple,won the Award for ResidentialArchitecture in the houses category.
A modernist-inspired beach homewith a clear and rational design, itbreaks with its suburban context of1970s brick and tile townhouses.
The jury which judged the awardswas led by Australian Institute ofArchitects WA president RodMollett, who was glowing in hiscritique of the project.
“This outstanding design creates avery successful relationship betweenmajor living spaces, terrace, streetand marine environment,’’ he said.
“The special ambience of thisbuilding is in part due to the carefuland controlled selection of naturallocal materials which have beencrafted together with great skill andmeticulous detailing.”
Bates Smart + MadeleineBlanchfield Architects said the design
draws inspiration from modernistideals of living, which are temperedby a critical regionalist response toclimate and place.
Minimal lines and planar formsreference its modernist inspirationwhile materiality and detailing drawfrom a local palette of materials.
The awards were held at theBurswood Grand Ballroom last week. ■

Cottesloe stunner winsWA architecture awardNatural local materials and a modernist style work together in this impressivehome designed by Bates Smart + Madeleine Blanchfield Architects
WHETHER you are building a new homeor renovating an existing home, the buildingprocess can be an overwhelming andexpensive experience.
New Home Building Brokers (NHBB) is anew concept in the building industrydesigned to take the stress out of building.
They provide clients access to productknowledge that can result in large monetarysavings and, much like a broker, assist clientsin finding a home and builder to suit theirneeds.
NHBB managing director Tristan Kirkhamsaid rather than dealing with sales agentsfrom a number of different builders, thecompany acted on a client’s behalf and did allnecessary legwork and research.
“Our service is free to clients, our fees aremade from the commission fee alreadyattached to a home in a builder’s standardrange of plans, or to the management feeattached to a one-off design,’’ he said.
“Basically the fees are already included inthe new home prices and are normally paidto the builder’s sales representatives.
“Importantly, our service is designed tofind the best deal for the client, not thebuilder.”
Mr Kirkham said the NHHB idea was bornfrom the horror stories often coming out ofthe industry.
“I see people in trouble all the time.They’ve gone into it thinking the process wassimple but often found themselves in way
over their heads,” he said. “There are somany products on the market right now andchoosing the right home and builder to suityour needs is not easy for people with noexperience in the industry; it can be evenmore difficult if you’re working with achallenging block.
“The fact is, though, if you do make thewrong decision or don’t know where to getthe right advice you could be paying far morethan you really should.”
Mr Kirkham said the first step was alwaysworking closely with the client to determinewhat they needed in a builder.
“We sit down with people to determinetheir needs and wants and using industry-specific software we provide a range of
products to suit their requirements,” he said. “We also bring more than 10 years’
building industry experience to the equation,so we have the product knowledge but also afull understanding of the entire process fromapprovals to completion.
“We deal directly with the builder on yourbehalf and deliver your options in an easy tounderstand way so you can choose the rightbuilder for you and get the right price.”
Mr Kirkham said the service was suited tothose looking to build a new home but alsothose looking to renovate or knock down ahome and rebuild, or even those looking todo small developments. ■

The design creates a relationship between living spaces and the environment.
REVIEWSSupersized withstyle and finesseSET back from the street, the glamorous exterior of this Applecrosshome is one of the most impressive I have seen.
The commanding three-level facade features taupe rendering and blackroof tiles with an illuminated staircase to a formal entrance.
A lengthy driveway leads into the property past a separate triple cargarage. Completed 18 months ago by Brian Burke Homes, the home isthe epitome of luxury.
An internal lift and a blackbutt timber staircase connect each of thethree levels. There are six bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The ground floor is the hub of the home where a sleek Caesar stonekitchen is fitted with premium grade European appliances and flows intoa Travertine floored dining and living area.
But it is the outdoor area that is perhaps the most magnificent feature,resembling as it does a five-star resort.
The block 1231sqm, so it is no exaggeration to say the back yard isenormous.
A cedar-lined alfresco area and semi-integrated cabana give on to asparkling pool and water feature, which overlooks a tennis court.
There is also a separate activity room, a home office, study recess andwine cellar inside the home.
Crafted to perfection, this is about as opulent as they come. ■

Chic finishes complement hip location
THE brilliant white exterior andminimalist landscaping set the scene forthe striking interiors of this contemporarypassive solar-designed Subiaco home.
From the keyless front door, to thepolished concrete floors, to the funky lightswitches, the finishes are as hip as thehome’s central Subiaco location.
Floor-to-ceiling glass extending acrossone entire wall floods the open-plan livingspaces with natural light and allows thebrilliant blue of the below-ground pool tobe a stunning visual feature.
The polished concrete floors feel andlook cool but, come winter, under-floorheating ensures slippers are not aprerequisite for comfort.
The German Nobilia kitchen is state-of-the-art with high gloss white cabinetry,elegant pale grey stone benches, a whitemosaic splashback and high-qualitycontemporary appliances. The kitchen hasa full view of the pool area where a built-indouble day bed under the pergola providesan idyllic spot to laze the days away. There
is also ample room for a BBQ andundercover alfresco dining.
The garden around the pool is pictureperfect and will remain that way, thanks tothe latest in artificial turf and only thehardiest of plants.
Also on ground level is a main bedroomwith built-in robes and a luxuriousbathroom, beautifully tiled in travertine.
A floating timber and steel staircase isboth a work of art and a means to arrivingat the second level where the mezzanineforms an ideal office space. Two bedroomswith stylish built-in robes share one verystunning bathroom, complete with an ovalfloating bath, open shower, fabuloustapware and luxurious travertine tiles onboth the floor and walls.
Parking is at the rear under a tandemgarage and the heart of Subiaco's shoppingand cafe precinct is literally around thecorner. ■

“With David’s strategies and negotiation skills your
home is worth more with him looking after

Q: I recently bought atownhouse which I loved,especially because it had aplasma TV on the wall. Butwhen I settled and moved in,the TV had gone, as had thebracket. Should this havebeen included in the sale?A: There is no set rule onplasmas at this stage, so it goesback to what the contract says.As a buyer you really need toask if the plasma is included (theagent should have discussed thiswith the seller). Alternatively, you could make acondition on the offer that theplasma remains. Generally I advise my sellers thatif they are going to remove theplasma, they must also removethe bracket and make good anydamage from the removal priorto settlement. As the price of plasmas andLCDs come down it is morecommon for them to remain.
Q: I’m looking at selling myproperty in the next sixmonths. While the facade ofmy property is in goodcondition, my neighbour’sproperty looks very run-down and the garden is amess. Will this reduce thevalue of my property?A: This situation comes up quiteoften and the answer reallydepends on how obvious it isand how much it encroaches onyour property. What can you do about it? Well,that depends on how well youget on with your neighbour! But if you really think it spoilsthe look of your home and yourneighbour isn’t keen to doanything about it, it would bemoney well spent to pay for agardener or painter yourself togive it a bit of a makeover. I’m sure your neighbour would
be delighted! You could alsosuggest to them that the higherprice you get, the higher theprice they are likely to get whenthey sell…
Q: I can’t decide whether tobuy a new property or build– what’s going on with thebuilding industry at themoment? Are there stillconsiderable delays?A: It’s not a bad time to buildright now. The advantage of building is thatyou get exactly what you wantaccommodation-wise, and youcan get a seven-year structuralwarranty at the end. There are a lot of builders outthere competing for business sothere are good deals to befound.If you want something custom-built in an established suburb(for instance, in the westernsuburbs), this will be expensive.But it will be worth it.

Architect’s grand vision makes strong impressionIT is not every day thearchitect gives you the ‘grandtour’ himself.
Derek Nash and his partnerLorraine Ghersinich of Nash +Ghersinich Architects +Interior Designers moved toDaglish several years ago, anddiscovered that Subiaco’scharming little-sister suburbwas in fact a hidden gem.
When an old block ofapartments ‘the Glamacourts’came up for sale, the creativeduo saw the opportunity toestablish something a little bitdifferent at Number 44.
“Daglish is mostly occupiedby single residential homes,”said Mr Nash “We wanted toraise the bar for the area withthese residences.”
The new, tri-level homes,designed by Nash + Ghersinichwere completed at the end of2009.
The sleek white exterior isflanked by a black cobblestonedriveway and features steps tothe front terrace and guestentry.
Inside, the open floorplanfosters a natural flow betweenindoor and outdoor spaces.
Glass bifolds separate theterrace from the lounge, diningand kitchen, which featuresMiele appliances, and a diningtable extension off the islandbench.
More bifold doors open outto a central courtyard with abuilt in stainless steel barbecueand polished concrete bench.
At the rear, Nash hasdesigned a studio or loft styleliving area. A private staircaseto a bedroom, separate fromthe rest of the house, makesthis an ideal guest suite.
Across the courtyard, thesecond story of the homecomprises the master suitecomplete with an ensuite andenclosed balcony.
There is also a guestbedroom on the second levelas well as a study area.
The home’s threebathrooms are luxuriouslyappointed. Additional featuresof this stunning home include abasement cellar, ductedreverse cycle air conditioning,an intercom and securitysystem. ■
