North Perth House
By NIC BRUNSDON
The North Perth House is an urban-infill project in inner-city Perth. Located on a small block, the design responds by providing a variety of spaces, determined by a simple structural arrangement.
The simplicity of the design belies the complexity of the resulting spaces that are created; spaces that are compressed and dark, high and washed, raw and unfinished, and rich and intimate.
Concrete pre-cast panels are deployed to be both the finishing material and the building structure. By using this commercial construction system as the main conceptual organising principle, the project was able to gain significant budget and time savings, while maintaining legible design integrity and innovation in housing type.

The practice is committed to the delivery of well-conceived and thoughtful architecture. We work within a select range of built environment typologies (namely, housing, hospitality, cultural and civic) with a common approach to sustainability, community, and wellness.
Our projects are located throughout Australia and globally, this international connection shaped our philosophy that our projects must be responsive to the local land and people, evoke emotion, and are based on a process of inclusivity.
Our primary studio is located in Perth, WA on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar. Our satellite studios are found in Sydney, NSW on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, and in Melbourne, VIC on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We work together as one team without borders.
