The Swanbourne properties, Siam andSantorini, are part of the Bespoke Collection,a limited release of three distinctly differenthomes.
Invited guests enjoyed champagne, foodand music at the Derby Street launch.
Exclusive Residence spokeswoman JuneYap said she believed it was the first time in
Australia that a builder had invested almost$10 million to show clients three verydifferent homes side by side worth over $1.5million each to replicate.
“We are revolutionising the luxurycustom home industry with good old-
fashioned cost transparency,” she said.“The Bespoke collection ensures
everything is selected and priced andincluded before the contract is signed.
“This is what makes the BespokeCollection so very different from every other
builder.” Ms Yap said the company hadcreated a range of homes in the $800,000 -$1.5m mark, ranging from 350 to 580 squaremetres that could be built from site works tofinal furniture placement in under 11months. ■

Exclusive homes offer luxury by choice
With underfloor heating andextras, the Bespoke Collectionpromises to ‘revolutionise theluxury home industry’ . ByJANE EVANS
AFTER several years of instability, Dunsborough’s propertymarket may be on the rise.
Recent statistical surveys by JMW Real Estate reveal thatthe Dunsborough market is experiencing a recovery.
JMW principal Joe White said that in the second quarter of2009, the average price of an entry level non-fairway block inDunsborough Lakes recovered to $204,000 from theprevious quarter, which showed an average sale price of$189,000.
Mr White said this was especially pleasing given that it was
the first time since late 2007 that the market had actuallyrisen for two consecutive quarters, and that the increasedlevel of turnover further underscored the likelihood of arecovery.
“While the market correction of 2008 has beendisappointing for homeowners, it has also provided a hugeopportunity for homeowner aspirants to enter the market asprices were back to levels not seen since January 2006,” he said.
Mr White said in spite of property prices falling in 2008,the entry level non-fairway block still experienced a capital
growth of 10.08 per cent compounded in the 15 or so yearssince Dunsborough Lakes was first released.
“Land historically has always been a long term low riskinvestment, but to still achieve a rate of growth rate in excessof 10 per cent whilst weathering the worst economic collapsesince the Wall Street Crash of 1929 shows the stability andresilience of the Dunsborough market,” he said.
While cautious about making predictions on the future, MrWhite said he remained optimistic about Dunsborough’sproperty market. ■

More than meets the eye in this transformation
THIS classic art deco property inthe heart of Nedlands offers muchmore then initially meets then eye.
Set back on a prominent tree-lined street, the façade of the early1930s home is pleasant andunassuming.
But behind the original exterioris a marvellous renovation thathas brought the old and the newtogether.
The 2003 renovation saw theintegrity of the original bungalowretained while creating a newcontemporary wing at the back ofthe home.
The front features originalwoodwork, architraves andornate ceiling cornices againstfresh white walls.
Creaking timber floorboards inthe formal lounge and diningcreate ambience.
Two bedrooms are at thefront, as well as a sleep-out whichcould be used as a home office orplayroom.
At the rear, the additioncaptures an abundance of lightinto a succession of open-planspaces including a kitchen, dining
and family room, as well as amaster bedroom and stunningensuite.
Four-metre high ceilings givethis part of the home anenormous sense of space andthere is a distinct resort style feelto the master suite.
Retractable bi-fold doors openout from the bedroom and livingareas to a beautiful establishedgarden, complete with a children’scubby house and a vine-coveredarbour to entertain guests onbalmy evenings.
The state of the art extensionwas completed by Victoria Cole.
Carrara marble and solidtasmanian oak doors were used,along with quality built-infurniture and fittings.
The gourmet kitchen features awater filter, Silestone bench topsand integrated appliances
Jarrah floors are throughout. The four-bedroom, two-

Colourful creations made to orderSTEPPING into La Maiolica is a little likeentering Aladdin’s Cave, with its treasuretrove of Mediterranean-inspired potterysplashing a mix of vibrant colour around thestore.
Husband and wifepotters Gigi and CateCosi opened theFremantle shop onNorfolk Street in 1991before moving to LaMaiolica’s currentpremises in JamesStreet three years ago.
Taking the namefrom the style of theirpottery, Cate said their aim when opening thebusiness was to establish a workshop andgallery in the popular Italian style, where theycould not only make beautiful pieces to sell butalso create pieces to order.
Tasmanian-born Cate was inspired tobecome a potter by her art teacher when shewas in her teens, and travelled to Europe toenhance her skills before meeting Gigi in Vietri
Sul Mare, Italy in 1987.Born and raised in the
Amalfi coastal village,Gigi had studied the artof pottery-making fromhis family, and the coupleworked together beforetaking the adventurousleap and moving toFremantle in 1990.
“We both decidedthat Fremantle would be
a great place to live and work with itsMediterranean climate and immigrantcommunity,” Cate said.
“We also felt that no one else was makingthe maiolica style of pottery, which we knew
so well, and that provided us with theopportunity to do something different.”
Sometimes known as tin glaze earthenware,maiolica pottery consists of a red earthenwareclay covered in an opaque white glaze.
It is then painted with ceramic stains andfired in a kiln to a rich palette of coloursincluding yellows, oranges, blues, greens,pinks and purples.
The style originated in Baghdad in theMiddle East around the 9th century AD.
Cate said the main way maiolica ware wasdifferent to other pottery was in the largecolour palette available.
“When pieces are fired to highertemperatures many of the colours burn outand it is generally a style of pottery with a lotof surface decoration,” she said.
“Many people feel they have beentransported back to Italy, Spain or Portugalwhen they see the range and can sometimes
be overwhelmed by the choices and coloursavailable.”
The La Maiolica collection includesdinnerware such as bowls, plates, platters,jugs, antipasto settings, cups and saucers plusdecorative items like wall plates, vases, lampbases and candleholders.
Cate recommended customers hand washthe dinnerware to make it last longer asdishwashers could be very abrasive. She addedpieces were not ovenproof and wereunsuitable for cooking in the microwave.
“When handled with care, the pieces canlast many years and have the potential tobecome family heirlooms,” she said.
“And when used outdoors our pieces willnever be faded by the sun or weather.
“La Maiolica is a place where we listen tobeautiful and eclectic music while we enjoyourselves making fun, colourful and practicalpottery in all shapes and sizes.” ■
