North Street Residence
Design: Klopper and Davis Architects
Location: Perth, Western Australia

The North Street Residence is a loving homage to the mid-century modernist architecture of Klopper and Davis Architects. Deeply informed by its context and its client, the team have created a beachside home that is fun, warm and textural and responds to contemporary family rhythms and a love of entertaining with ease.

Designed to optimize its coastal location and the natural topography of its site, the planning across three levels is borne of functionality and passive design principles.
Quiet, utilitarian spaces nestle into the topography at the lowest level; living areas and children?s bedroom wing occupy the elevated ground floor; and the master suite takes the top floor. A floating concrete canopy rests atop the residence, home to the rooftop garden and continuous panoramic views across the treetops and roofs.

Signature elements, such as playful timber joinery, rich materiality and the seamless transition between indoors and out, define this home as an iconic KADA residence. A unique and playful insertion to North Street is the staircase, brick-paved and wrapped in a geometric envelope of mild steel, it provides circulation with elegance and sculptural form.
