This magnificent double-storey home situated on Perth’s iconic West Coast Drive in North Beach features superb craftmanship, with the design and use of materials, including NewTechWood’s castellation cladding, producing a visual work of art.  The home boasts 5 large bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, gourmet kitchen and a concrete swimming pool. Built on a triangular shaped block with a wide frontage, the home faces the water and enjoys 180-degree ocean views over beautiful North Beach.

Designing Seamless Ocean Views: A Contemporary Australian Home

This contemporary Australian home was designed by David Wilkes who planned the layout of the home to bring the spectacular ocean views right throughout the house, with the entertaining areas at the forefront of the block, this amazing ocean view can be enjoyed by friends and family all the time.  The design is described as robust, yet refined, with the aim of incorporating the rugged natural feel of the coastline while maintaining a minimalist, clean look.  The interiors and external finishes were designed by La Vie Interiors and bringing it to life was well known Perth luxury home builder, Dorrington Homes.

Coastal Durability with NewTechWood Castellation Cladding


Durability was at the forefront of the design process due to being situated at the coastline. They needed construction and materials able to withstand the relentless Perth wind, sun and salt, and they wanted their client to be able to enjoy their home with minimal maintenance involved.

NewTechWood’s UH61 5-rib Castellation Cladding in Ebony was selected for its natural timber look, resilience to harsh conditions, longevity and little to no maintenance requirements that many generations can enjoy. It can be seen beautifully gracing the entire frontage of the first floor, seamlessly hiding the garage.
