The Stonehouse

Presenting "The Stonehouse," a triumphant fusion of architectural ingenuity and collaborative excellence by luxury home builder RK Brine and visionary architect Suzanne Hunt. In response to a unique challenge, Hunt was tasked with crafting a residence that defied expectations, resulting in an exquisitely designed small-scale masterpiece that radiates spaciousness. Comprising 2 bedrooms and an open-plan living space, the undeniable centerpiece is the JC Bordelet Tatiana suspended wood fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection. This captivating fireplace not only warms the core of the home but also encapsulates the harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics that defines the project.

Beyond its sturdy stone walls, hewn from the very land on which it stands, "The Stonehouse" exterior seamlessly marries homeliness with distinctive charm. The legacy of the client's grandparents' original house lives on in the enduring stone walls, fostering a sense of continuity and heritage. Nestled amidst the picturesque Perth Hills, the residence elegantly ascends with the terrain, culminating in a second-level living space that offers panoramic views of the verdant bushland. Through strategically placed expansive windows, the interior is bathed in luminosity, inviting the outdoors in while maintaining a tranquil ambiance. Overcoming the challenge of limited power and water resources, Hunt's ingenious design ensures sustainable living through a blend of active and passive solar power systems, coupled with the refurbishment of the original water tanks. This conscientious approach not only underscores the commitment to eco-consciousness but also establishes a peaceful, off-grid living experience.

"The Stonehouse" stands not only as a tribute to RK Brine's craftsmanship and Suzanne Hunt's ingenuity but also as a testament to the transformative power of collaboration. With the JC Bordelet Tatiana fireplace as the heart and soul of the home, this architectural gem harmonizes nature, heritage, and modernity in a symphony of design brilliance.
