Architecture studio State of Kin has paired an olive-toned hemp render with aluminium awnings at Proclamation House, a light-filled family home in Western Australia.
Located on the former site of a derelict dwelling in Subiaco, the house accommodates the needs of a couple and one of their elderly parents.
