The original dwelling was designed by architect GE Swallow in 1962 and is a beautifully intact example of early 60?s West Australian modernist Architecture. It comprises a low-pitched metal roof, with Donnybrook Stone and painted brickwork to the façade, whilst internally Jarrah floorboards and slim natural brickwork are expressed.
Located on a sloping site, the original building is split level with a double garage off the street and steps to a raised North-facing Verandah. The site is on a North-South alignment and is protected from the worst of the strong southwesterly gusts from the ocean, being a distance of 1000m away to the beach and sheltered via adjacent trees.

The clients, a young and design conscious professional couple, wished to extend their house into the garden to make better use of their private outdoor living space and maximise the indoor/ outdoor lifestyle.
The existing condition of the house incorporated a renovated kitchen, which was located across the back wall of the house. This element did not retain any original features of the 1960?s house but formed a visual barrier between the living spaces and garden. The owners had recently built a swimming pool and wished to make more of this.
