Ian Rodgers has had his work featured on Grand Designs UK and designed this inviting Perth home based on the idea of warehouse living.
Two double-storey, gable-roofed pavilions were conceived for this three-year-old build, with a central courtyard visually dividing the home into public and private zones. Enter through a secure central gate to the double height courtyard with smooth concrete flooring that extends inside and heated for cooler months.
The kitchen overlooks the courtyard and features a granite island bench top clad in Meranti timber, stainless steel bench tops and custom made cabinets. There are also Miele white goods and Neff appliances. Stained timber cladding conceals a walk-in pantry.
The kitchen also opens out to the main living space and louvered windows on both sides bring cross ventilation and natural light. Upstairs is a second living/play room located above the kitchen with a gabled ceiling that explains the home's front elevation.
The second pavilion includes a dedicated study/home office, powder room and laundry. Two double bedrooms are downstairs both with built in wardrobes with a family bathroom to services the two bedrooms.
Up a second set of stairs is a guest bedroom with ensuite and built in wardrobes. The master suite is also on this level and has a walk in robe, ensuite and balcony.
Additional features:
• Salt water plunge pool
• CCTV
• Security alarm
• Cloakroom/cellar
• Camera intercom
• Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning
• Landscaped gardens

The property is close to the Perth CBD, schools, cafes and parks.
