A NEW not-for-profit organisation will beestablished to encourage Australians con-structing new homes to comply withdesign standards to make homes moreaccessible.
The National Dialogue on UniversalHousing Design, a group bringing togethergovernment, the residential building indus-try and the community sector, met lastweek to discuss the Livable HousingDesign guidelines.
Universal housing design means design-ing Australian homes to meet the changingneeds of home occupants across their life-time, including people with a disability andsenior Australians.
Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilitiesand Carers, Senator Jan McLucas, said anew not-for-profit organisation, LivableHousing Australia, would be established.
“Livable Housing Australia will promotegreater understanding of the value of uni-versal housing design within the community
and promote Universal Housing Designpractices throughout the residential buildingand property industry,” the Senator said.
“Livable housing design aims to makehomes easier and safer to use – for sen-iors, people with temporary injuries, andfamilies with young children and peoplewith a disability.
“It will also add value to homes andmake them easier to sell.
“There are returns for both homeown-ers and the broader community.”
The voluntary guidelines are intended toapply to all new homes, helping buildersensure homes are prepared for the chang-ing needs of residents and visitors. ■

It’s too late oncethe job is done
Guidelines for friendlier homesA new organisation ismaking the housing industryaware of changing needs.
FEAR of heavy share market losses andperhaps encouraged by the perceived safe-ty of bricks and mortar, more West Aus-tralians are turning to property investmentthrough their self-managed superannuationfunds.
Wembley-based company, Faba Accoun-tants &Advisors, said that legislative changein recent years, coupled with the recentvolatility in the equities market had led to asteady increase in the number of self- man-aged superannuation funds (SMSF) acquir-ing real property as part of their invest-ment strategy, often by way of the limited
resource borrowing arrangements.Director Andrew Rottigni said that
before the introduction of limited recourseborrowing arrangement, property invest-ment via a SMSF was really the domain ofthose with substantial superannuation enti-tlements, given that all direct propertyinvestments had to be unencumbered.
“The new borrowing rules have expand-ed the number of SMSFs capable of direct-ly investing in property,” he said.
Fellow Faba director Paul Gabrielsonsaid given the complexity of purchasingproperty through super wasn’t as simple as
weighing up the pros and cons.“To determine whether or not this
option is right for the individual can only beassessed by a full and detailed analysis ofthe specific circumstances of each SMSF,contemplating a property investment byusing the limited recourse borrowingarrangements,” he said. ■
DISCLAIMERThe above advice is general only and should notbe relied upon. Faba Accountants & Advisorsemphasise that you should seek further profes-sional advice from a qualified accountant orfinancial advisor.
Property now a self-managed super optionMore West Australians are opting for a bricks and mortar approach for their nest egg
TO demolish or not to demolish – that is
the question.
Rob Mason, from Davey Real Estate, said
he was often confronted with the situation
where a client was undecided about what
to do with a block of land.
“They thought they wanted to subdivide,
commence a development, or build a new
house, so they demolish the existing house
and start planning the new project,’’ he said.
“Sounds fair enough? Sure. As long as
they don’t change their mind.
“Sometimes things change, and the proj-
ect needs to be either delayed or shelved
altogether.”
Mr Mason said that without the existing
house, the owners have no rental income to
rely on, and if they need to sell, they have
more than likely reduced the value of the
property and certainly reduced the market
for the property.
“Investors, renovators and owner-occu-
piers are out of the picture, and as a result,
there is much less competition for the
property, and this usually means a lower
sale price,’’ he said.
His advice – get everything else sorted
out before you demolish.
“This means planning approval, building
contract, and finance,’’ he said.
“That way, you’ll know all your costs and
will have worked your way through any
planning issues; and after that point, there
shouldn’t be any nasty surprises that may
cause you to reconsider the project.” ■

Triple luxury with views from every quarterEVERY room in this tri-levelhouse has a view, thanks to itscoveted elevated position onestreet back from West CoastDrive and overlooking MettamsPool.
Its commanding street pres-ence and Mediterranean-stylecan be attributed to recentexterior refurbishment.
It was re-rendered and hasnew stainless steel flat roof sec-tions that contrast with the ter-racotta-hued roof tiles.
Its three-tier design takes fulladvantage of space on a 506sqm block, to offer 330sq m of liv-ing space (excluding balconies),with an ocean view from everybedroom and living area.
For an interior that is as clas-sically stylish as it is practical,Blackbutt parquetry flooringhas been used extensively.
The ground floor is a servicespace and comprises a three-car garage, with a storeroomand workshop, a climate-con-trolled 1000-bottle wine cellarunder the stairs, plus a laundry.
It is an efficient and cleverdesign feature that restrictsnon-living space to one level tomaximise space on the top twofloors.
The open-plan kitchen, meals
area and family room make upthe bulk of the second floor.
A huge wraparound balconywith ocean and street viewsconnect to these living areas.
There are two-bedrooms,one-bathroom and a powderroom, in a wing at the back ofthis level.
Bedroom two has a built-inrobe and connects to a privatecourtyard, while bedroomthree has a study alcove.
A fourth bedroom or study,with views to Rottnest Island, ison the third floor, along with
the formal lounge and diningrooms, with built-in cabinetsand doors to another north-facing balcony with uninterrupt-ed, 180-degree ocean views.
Ceiling panels heat the livingareas for year-round comfort.
Many large windows anddoors in these areas make thewater appear even closer thanit is.
The master suite takes prideof place on the third floor.
The ensuite branches off awalkway to a bedroom, whichhas full-width, floor-to-ceiling
robes along one wall and bi-folddoors to a conservatory-styleparents’ retreat.
Extras include a new Mieledishwasher, Rheem hot watersystem and reverse cycle air-conditioner, a remotely moni-tored security system, wall safeand roof cavity storage space inthe master bedroom, and a pot-belly stove in the open-plan liv-ing areas.
The house is a short walkfrom a cafe strip and minutesfrom many award-winningrestaurants. ■

Pendant lights, mini-orb backing tothe jarrah benches, and glass display cup-boards amongst the jarrah cabinetry achievea look that is at once classic and modern.Theupright stainless steel oven, fiver-burner gashob and dishwasher ensure the wet area iswell equipped. ■

TIMELESSNESS and elegance were essential fac-tors in the design process of this tri-level home thatcombines raw, natural materials with futuristic designprinciples and modern technology.
No expense was spared in the construction of thehouse, a shining example of what meticulous atten-tion to detail can achieve.
It leaves nothing to be desired, and checks thelifestyle, luxury and location boxes.The coastal land-scape and interior decor complement each otherperfectly, and the position capitalises on thepanoramic ocean views.
Greenery such as mature, fragrant Frangipanitrees offset the feature stone panels of the imposingfacade.The sense of flow between the garden and thefoyer is achieved with jarrah floorboards and shadowline ceilings, both of which extend throughout.
An open timber tread staircase, with a stainlesssteel balustrade, connects the levels. Regardless ofthe number of occupants, space will never be an issuein the house, with several separate living areas overthe three levels and a study.The layout is such thateach level is virtually self-contained.
A water feature in the foyer greets you on theground floor, which is an ideal, independent livingspace for guests or teenagers.
This space is infused with natural light, thanks to aglass void on the first floor.
The level also comprises a theatre room with a
screen and projector, a study, a double-sized bed-room with floor-to-ceiling, built-in robes, a bathroomwith stone benches, and timber-look, vinyl wrap cab-inets to the vanity unit.
The middle floor is arguably the architectural mas-terpiece of the house, with its streamlined, well-equipped kitchen,Caesarstone benchtops,white cab-inets, Miele appliances and walk-in pantry. Revel inthe wall of glass opposite that embraces expansiveocean views.
There is also a separate dining room with a boxedceiling and a huge family room with walkway access,north-facing alfresco area, and timber deck with abarbecue and sink.
Two minor bedrooms, convenient to a bathroomwith Terazzo stone flooring and a frameless glassshower, are on this floor, as is an alternative mastersuite with ocean views and a semi-ensuite bathroom.
The top floor is a dedicated parents’ retreat, withdressing room and opulent bathroom to the masterbedroom.As well as an oval spa, double shower andstone-topped, dual vanity unit in the ensuite, thisroom has ocean view that can never be built out.
A private retreat with a built-in gas log fire hasaccess to a balcony.
There is also a glass fenced pool surrounded bylush lawn and low maintenance, limestone-retainedgardens, a triple garage with internal access and stor-age, SpyEye security, and ducted airconditioning. ■

Luxurious family home sets benchmarkTHE modest facade of this home belies thestyle and luxury within.
With family houses a dime a dozen in themodern market, it is rare for one to stand out,but this one does thanks to meticulous atten-tion to detail, an eye for design and quality, andspace to spare.
It is a benchmark in comfortable luxury andis sure to impress the fussiest of buyers.
The heart of the house is the kitchen, whichis enough to inspire anyone’s inner chef.
It is equally as functional as it is chic, withsplashes of colour in the form of the contrast-ing bulkhead ceiling that defines the area, andred glass splashbacks and cut-outs to the backof the breakfast bar.
Its ultra-modern design is complemented by
top of the range fittings and appliances, includ-ing Caesarstone benches with built-in wineracks, a Belling Kensington upright double oven,and a double drawer dishwasher.
It overlooks the meals area, with a floor-to-ceiling curved window to the alfresco area andfenced pool, and the family room.
Entertaining is a breeze in the house, whichachieves a sense of flow between the indoor-outdoor living spaces.
The gabled patio has cafe curtains for addedprotection from the elements.
It has a tranquil view of the pool and lime-
stone-retained border gardens, with topiariesand a water feature.
Timber-framed doors to the backyard high-light the rich hue of the spotted gum timberflooring that extends throughout this level.
Two master suites mean parents can choosea bedroom on either level, and there will alwaysbe room for guests.
One of the bedrooms with its own bath-room is at the front of the house, near the tim-ber staircase and opposite the simply but ele-gantly appointed sunken formal lounge room.
Mosaic feature tiling, a frameless glass show-
er and a modern dual vanity unit with side-by-side ceramic basins feature in the bathroom.
Ironbark timber flooring has been used togreat effect in the living area with kitchenetteupstairs.
It sets off oversized timber-framed bi-folddoors to the balcony.
A vanity unit with a raised square basin andframeless glass shower are features of theensuite bathroom to the alternative mastersuite on the first floor.
All bedrooms have plush carpet and theminor bedrooms are convenient to a sharedbathroom, with a separate bath and shower.
It has reverse-cycle airconditioning down-stairs and two reverse-cycle airconditionersupstairs. ■

Exotic award-winnerWITH an interior reminiscent of an exot-ic gallery space, it is easy to see why thisspecialist-designed home was chosen as afinalist in the 2010 Housing IndustryAwards.
It sets a new precedent for coastal living,with design and decor features that tran-scend traditional beach house style to set itapart.
The vast array of materials, including pol-ished concrete and travertine flooring, tim-ber doors, architraves and shutters, and fea-ture brick, used to construct the four-bed-room, two-bathroom home establish raw,contemporary appeal.
The overall effect of the mixed materialsis a chic and modern minimalist aesthetic,characterised by clean lines and ideal forbuyers after a low-maintenance lifestyle.
An oversized timber pivot door opens toa front lounge room, where pendant lightsadd panache, and a feature brick wall addswarmth to the concrete floor and starkwhite walls.
Also on the ground floor is a spaciousgames room and three double-sized minorbedrooms, convenient to a semi-ensuitewith a dual vanity unit.
Concrete flooring spills out to the
undercover alfresco area at the back, whichis framed by fragrant frangipani trees andfeels like an extension of the living area.
The travertine staircase to the first flooris an example of the attention to detail thatmakes this home stand out.
It leads to the free-flowing kitchen andfamily room, with high A-frame ceilings thatenhance the sense of space and bi-partingtimber-framed doors that maximise oceanviews.
Plantation shutters enclose an alfrescoarea that is currently being used as a diningroom.
The timber doors and shutters combinewith chocolate-coloured laminate cabinetryin the kitchen to add warmth to the pol-ished concrete floor and stainless steelwaterfall island bench.
The kitchen also has glass splashbacks,integrated utensil strips, stainless steelappliances and ample storage.
A walk-through wardrobe in the masterbedroom leads to the travertine-tiledensuite with a floating vanity unit, openshower and separate powder room.

for saleThe fi rst thing I noticed when I pulled up to this fantastic little 4X2 beachhouse was the massive (and probably ancient) melalueca tree casting a dreamy shade over the front lawns. I couldn’t help but let my mind wander straight to Rotto (or Yallingup) - two beachfronts renowned for these beautiful coastal trees.
With only one house between this home and the dunes, the “coastal fringe” location is perfectly suited to such a beautiful tree. The facade of the house itself, could also (perhaps?!) be described as a little Rottnest-esque due to its Spanish inspired arches. It gives you a real “holiday feel” every time you pull into the driveway.
Although modest in appearance from the street, once you enter you will discover far more than you expect. Only one house from the water’s edge this impeccable 4x2 on perfectly level 890sqm offers open plan living, sweeping master suite, modern kitchen, undercover alfresco and potential ocean views. The central area consists of a modern kitchen, sweeping open plan living area, including huge dining space suitable for home-cooked feasts for extended family and friends en-masse. (Current owners table would probably sit 16!) There are natural clay tiles, cedar doors and windows and plantation blinds.
French doors open onto sprawling level rear lawns and gardens, and also onto a huge undercover alfresco living space with high pitched ceilings
and clear cafe blinds on all open walls, providing a cozy year round “outdoor lounge”. The Master suite is expansive in size. It is open plan to a modern en-suite and has an aspect over front gardens and an entire frosted glass wall fl ooding the space with light yet retaining privacy.
The minor bedroom wing is well separated, which is great for families, however one of the minor rooms has a second door which makes it accessible from the master suite and as such it would be well suited to any buyers with a young child/ baby. The current owners have young kids and have found the layout of the home perfect in this regard, due to all internal and external play areas being perfectly visible from the kitchen and main living areas. Kapinara Primary School - one of the most sought after in the state - is a couple of hundred metres up the road.
The land holding is hard to beat. Only one house exists between it and the dunes. You are purchasing a perfectly level 890sqm lot. Second level extensions would reveal pleasant ocean views. A great place for you to live a wonderful lifestyle whilst bringing up a young family, and perhaps redevelop down the track to capatalise on this greatland parcel on the edge of the coastal fringe...
