Constructed from a fusion of steel, concrete, brick and cladding, Philip House exudes a cathedral-like feel, boasting a continuous floating ceiling and a design that skillfully plays with height and scale to create an inspiring living experience.

The spirit of the home is most experienced within its living spaces. Conceived to elevate the moments where life naturally unfolds, each zone flows effortlessly into the next, embracing light, comfort and aesthetics at every turn.

Flooded with natural light from an expansive void above the kitchen and opening up to a Japanese garden via large sliding windows, the kitchen is the nucleus of the home and a place of alchemy. Boasting an elegant blend of elements, the kitchen features an antique glass splashback, stone benchtops and floating timber cabinetry. Overhead pendant lights anchor the space whilst the neighbouring library offers visual inspiration. Miele appliances including a steamer, oven, dishwasher and induction cooktop are featured, as well as ample storage and a tucked away larder.

The adjacent dining area leads to a statement making sunken lounge with a double height ceiling, whilst outside, an entertainment area and concrete pool face North. Exuding an international flavour, this area seamlessly blends diverse design influences to create a relaxing atmosphere. Exposed LVL beams and a custom made reclaimed parquetry door made from Red Cedar frame the space.

Upstairs, the home office overlooks the rooftop garden, while a mezzanine gallery hall leads to a North facing parent’s retreat with an expansive deck. With sweeping views of the Swan River, the Point Water spit and the Indian Ocean, hours will easily be spent soaking up this breathtaking panorama and picturesque location. As a consequence of a well thought out floor plan, the main bedroom can be hidden away via the bi-fold doors, providing excellent flexibility should you wish to entertain upstairs whilst keeping your sleeping quarters private.

Light-filled bathrooms with hand-cut wall tiles and popham floor tiles encourage a Moroccan feel, which are complemented by Astra Walker tapware and Apaiser basins.

Crucial to the overall design was the emphasis on the outdoor space; both within the architectural connection to the outdoors and the selection of plants and materials. With its African influence, the garden features low maintenance choices, including grasses, Aloe, Senegalese mahogany and South African eucalyptus latte fencing, offset by rust coloured gravel.

Nestled in a coveted prime riverside pocket of East Fremantle, Philip House sits on a quiet family-friendly street, offering a lifestyle enriched by its surroundings. With the Swan River, E I Chapman Reserve and East Fremantle Lawn Tennis Club just a leisurely stroll away, you can embrace the allure of riverside living. This vibrant community boasts local sports clubs, shops and cafes within just minutes, whilst families will appreciate the convenience of nearby Richmond Primary School.
