Our fresh Airlie Beach display home has been brought to life in the Perth Hills, in a picturesque location looking out across the Darling Ranges.
JWH Group General Manger Jay Walter, and WA Country Builders Principal Designer Robert Kirkovski, show us around this extraordinary hilltop home, offering plenty of design inspiration as they go from room to room.
Proving that our Airlie Beach design is perfectly suited to the coast or the country, this client home sits beautifully in its hilltop location. With its fresh and vibrant exterior, the front elevation offers a truly West Australian take on a Mediterranean coastal aesthetic, with bright turquoise accents, stone cladding and weatherboard features. This is a warm, welcoming façade, designed to make a statement.
Raking ceilings and highlight windows welcome you into a voluminous entrance foyer that entices you to explore further. Filled with space and light, the entrance also acts as a private ante-room to the master suite.
Complete with raking ceilings, highlight windows and a private lounge area, the master suite is large and luxurious, with a dressing room and deluxe ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath and timber-shrouded vanity. Brilliantly, the master suite has private access to the pool area.
Designed for cosy movie nights, the home theatre is a glamorous space with coffered ceilings. A tasteful bar area with mirrored splashback completes a space that is perfectly suited to nights spent at home.
The open-plan kitchen combines pops of blue, timber and white to create a fresh, welcoming space that opens seamlessly to the alfresco via a servery window, with views beyond. This beautifully designed space flows through to a scullery, which then leads to a walk-in pantry with clever concealed lighting.
With its vaulted ceilings, highlight windows, timber beams, spectacular views, and seamless connection to the alfresco, the freeform living area is a wonderful space. While it’s dramatic, it’s also warm and comfortable, making it a space that invites family gatherings and moments together. It’s the little features that make this space extra special – the picture window through to the cellar, and the weatherboard cladding.
Leading off the main living area, you’ll find a light-filled games room, which opens on to the alfresco, with sweeping views to match. Cleverly, the entry to the fourth bedroom has been flipped, turning this space into a relaxed music room.
This is a home where everyone has their space, with over-sized minor bedrooms and a family bathroom that mimics the resort-style ensuite, with a freestanding bath and luxurious detailing. The laundry continues the streamlined aesthetic.
Dispelling the myth that a home office needs to be at the front of the home, this home office is located off the main living area, adjacent to the wine. This clever placement means that it’s possible to work from home without feeling isolated from family life going on around you.
This is an outdoor entertaining area with a difference, reminiscent of six-star resort holidays. Spanning the length of the home, the high, raking alfresco seamlessly connects to the interior via the master suite, kitchen, living area and games room. An infinity pool stretches out across the hills, framed by double cabanas at either end.
