UNWIN CRESCENT | SALTER POINT


Only a block away from the Swan River in the idyllic suburb of Salter Point, this home is a stunning contemporary design with warm features. A one-storey home with 3 beds, 2 baths and a separate self-contained studio, the carefully considered layout allows for flexible living and offers opportunities for growing children or ageing in place.

On the exterior, dark Colorbond contrasts with Scyon ‘Axon’ and ‘Matrix’ cladding to create a sleek façade. Inside, and burnished concrete floors are balanced out with warm features of Victorian Ash. Similar warm elements can be found throughout the design in light fixtures and even the bathroom tiles. 

An open-plan kitchen, dining and living that leads out to a covered alfresco area and spa provides plenty of space for entertaining. The rest of the time, these same spaces are an ideal private sanctuary for relaxing in the evenings. Creative solutions, like a secret door leading into the primary bedroom from the living area, ensures there is no wasted space on the subdivided block.

From a building perspective, one of our highlights is the unique fact that no structural steel has been used in the wall or roof framing, with timber chosen instead.
