Home | Projects | Upper Swan Residence

BHO Interiors recently had the privilege of undertaking the interior architectural design for an expansive 1,100-square-meter Upper Swan residence, nestled on an impressive 80-hectare block of picturesque land. This stunning home was designed with luxury, comfort, and family in mind, resulting in a breathtaking 7-bedroom property that goes far beyond the traditional family home.

The design brief was ambitious, aiming to create a residence that not only offered ample space for family and guests but also served as a true sanctuary for modern living. The house boasts an array of remarkable features, from the inclusion of a games room and a theatre to two fully equipped home offices that provide ample space for both work and play. For guests, there is an adjoining guest house with its own living area, ensuring privacy and comfort for visitors.

At the heart of the home is a sprawling, open-plan kitchen and a massive living area that overlooks the lush green pastures surrounding the property. The scale and openness of this central space create a sense of grandeur, yet it maintains a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it ideal for both everyday family living and large social gatherings. The design for this area focuses on creating a harmonious balance between natural materials and high-end finishes, exemplified by the stunning floor-to-ceiling timber cladding on one side of the room, juxtaposed against an exposed brick wall that frames the space beautifully. The centrepiece of this area is an exquisite white Italian marble fireplace, which not only serves as a focal point but adds an element of sophisticated elegance to the overall design.

One of the defining characteristics of this project is the attention to detail and personalised design for each space. Every bedroom in the house was crafted with a unique theme and individual style, ensuring that no two rooms are alike. This thoughtful approach is carried through to the en suites, each designed to reflect the personality and preferences of its occupants while maintaining a cohesive flow throughout the house. The children’s rooms are particularly special, with playful, creative elements incorporated into the design to inspire imagination and joy.

The practical aspects of the design were just as carefully considered. Recognizing the cold winters in the Upper Swan area, the house was fitted with an inbuilt heated polished floor system, providing warmth and comfort during the colder months. This system not only adds to the luxurious feel of the residence but also enhances the energy efficiency of the home, making it both beautiful and functional.

In terms of project execution, the “Design and Documentation” phase for this residence was extensive, totalling over 100 pages of highly detailed specifications. Every element, from the selection of materials to the type of door handles, was meticulously outlined to ensure precision and quality in the final build. This rigorous documentation process allowed BHO Interiors to ensure that the initial vision was translated seamlessly into reality. The 3D visualisations presented at the early stages of the project were so detailed and accurate that the completed home looked almost identical to the initial renderings, showcasing the firm’s expertise in both planning and execution.
