8 Wandoo Place Cowaramup, WA 6284

For those who appreciate architecture that goes beyond the ordinary, 8 Wandoo Place is a home to be experienced. Recipient of a 2018 HIA Award, this distinctive residence showcases thoughtful architectural design, striking proportions and a considered relationship between built form and its natural surroundings. Set on an 846 m² north facing block in Parkwater, the three level home combines solar passive principles, natural materials and carefully positioned glazing to create a residence that is both visually compelling and beautifully functional.

From the moment you enter, the architectural details make an impression. High ceilings lined with warm red cedar, sculptural volumes and highlight windows draw the eye upwards and frame the leafy outlook beyond. The split level layout creates a natural sense of separation between living zones, allowing each space to feel connected yet distinct. On the entry level, two generously proportioned bedrooms feature built in robes, complemented by the main bathroom and a separate powder room. Plantation shutters provide a refined finish while maintaining a connection to the surrounding greenery.

Ascending a short flight of stairs, the master suite reveals another dimension of the home's design. Elevated among the treetops, this private retreat opens onto its own balcony, where the surrounding canopy becomes part of the outlook. A spacious walk in robe and ensuite with a separate toilet complete this carefully considered sanctuary.

The lower level is where the architecture truly comes into its own. An expansive open plan kitchen, dining and living area is defined by generous proportions and floor to ceiling north facing glazing. An additional activity room sits alongside this central living space, offering flexibility as a second sitting area, home office, creative studio or potential fourth bedroom. Designed to capture the warmth of the winter sun, the extensive glazing brings the outdoors into the heart of the home, while a trained Wisteria vine offers natural shade during the warmer months. The changing light and garden outlook give this space a different character throughout the day and across the seasons.

The kitchen balances strong material choices with everyday practicality. Concrete island benchtops create a substantial centrepiece, complemented by stainless steel preparation surfaces, a walk in pantry and a dedicated appliance centre. Nearby, the Morso wood fireplace introduces warmth and texture, reinforcing the home's thoughtful combination of contemporary design and natural materials. Sliding doors extend the living space to a generous alfresco area, creating an effortless connection between indoor entertaining and outdoor living.

Beyond its visual appeal, the home reflects a considered approach to comfort and efficiency. Solar passive design, Viridian smart glass windows, ceiling fans and carefully positioned glazing work together to support natural light and airflow. Recent additions include split system air conditioning in every bedroom and a dedicated wellness area featuring a custom sauna and ice bath, bringing contemporary comfort to this architecturally distinctive home.

Outside, established gardens, lawns and fruit trees, including nectarine, plum, apricot and loquat, soften the home's architectural lines and create a private setting to enjoy throughout the year. Direct access to the Parkwater Forest walking trails adds another layer to the lifestyle, with nature just beyond the back gate.

Practicality has also been thoughtfully integrated into the design. An over height double garage incorporates a workshop area, while the generously configured laundry accommodates two washing machines and a dryer. Additional side space offers potential for a shed, boat storage or a future studio, subject to relevant approvals.

At 8 Wandoo Place, architecture is not simply a feature of the home; it shapes the way the home is experienced. From the interplay of light and volume to the warmth of natural materials and the connection with the surrounding landscape, every level offers something distinctive. A home with genuine architectural character, designed to be appreciated as much for how it looks as for how it lives.
