Rising from the tranquil banks of the Avon River, The Art House is a well-considered interaction between architecture and nature. It is designed to visually embrace the natural surroundings. Every space has been crafted to enhance the breathtaking landscape that lies beyond its walls.
The ground floor offers a warm and inviting living space, where the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas converge to create the heart of the home. The kitchen, thoughtfully positioned along one wall, maximises space and practicality without encroaching on the living area.
The bedrooms on the ground floor are sanctuaries of peace and simplicity. The master suite features a raised bed, embraced within a bay window, providing wrap-around views of the surrounding bushland and river.
The design of The Art House truly excels in its relationship with light. Strategically placed windows, allow the free play of natural light and shade to diffuse across the reimagined traditional construction elements within the home. Each room transforms throughout the passing day, creating a living, breathing artwork within the very walls of the home.
As you move out from the central living area and ascend to the first floor, the home is marked by a large open-air deck, a sheltered space where the beauty of the landscape truly comes into focus. Here, panoramic views of the hills stretch before you, creating a perfect backdrop. The studio, tearoom, and bedroom tower are revealed as you explore this level, each space designed to offer a unique experience. Slide away doors close off these rooms and can be drawn back to encompass the views shared by the upper deck.
Large parking area and 9x7m garage structure separate to house. Walking distance to historic main street of Toodyay
