Bedford Residence

The Bedford Residence is a remarkable example of innovative and thoughtful design in residential architecture, brought to life by the talented building designers at Designhaus Perth. Situated on a narrow lot measuring just 9.0 meters wide, this home redefines the possibilities of space and natural light utilisation.

​

One of the standout features of this home is its expansive open planning living space, strategically located in the middle of the block. The clever use of floor-to-ceiling north-facing glass floods the interior with natural light, creating an inviting and bright atmosphere. This exceptional use of glass earned Designhaus Perth Design Matters Award for excellence in the use of glass.

​

To further enhance the feeling of spaciousness on this compact lot, the living space seamlessly transitions into a generous outdoor living area. This harmonious integration of indoor and outdoor spaces offers an abundance of room for relaxation and entertainment, making the most of the available space.

​

The kitchen, the heart of the home, is a true masterpiece. Overlooking the living space, it boasts a scullery and features a skylight directly above the square island bench. This unique design not only adds a touch of elegance but also serves as a practical and inviting space for entertaining and culinary creativity.

 

The Bedford Residence's distinctive skillion roof design and discrete side entrance contribute to its modern and eye-catching aesthetic. The split-level layout thoughtfully follows the natural contours of the block, emphasizing the connection between the building and its environment. This attention to detail and the creation of a home that harmonizes with its surroundings earned the kitchen a prestigious award from the Housing Industry Association (HIA) in Western Australia.

​

In summary, the Bedford Residence is a testament to the ingenuity of building designers, showcasing a remarkable ability to maximize space and light in a narrow lot. With its open living spaces, skillion roof, and award-winning kitchen, this home stands as a shining example of excellence in residential design.
