Libby’s Retreat
By Sculpt Fireplace Collection
Welcome to "Libby's Retreat," a serene haven situated in Western Australia's Peel region, just a short drive from Perth. Nestled on the fringes of the Darling Ranges, this single-level holiday house, adorned with breathtaking views of the Peel Estuary and the rolling hills beyond, is a tribute to family and nature. Designed for Libby, Geoff, their children, and grandchildren, this expansive property serves as a canvas for both familial bonds and cattle raising aspirations.
Architect Suzie Hunt and the team at Suzanne Hunt Architect (SHA) embarked on a journey that seamlessly intertwined captivating vistas with mindful design. The majestic Axis H1600XXL wood fireplace from the Sculpt Fireplace Collection graces the central living pod, where family gatherings unfold amidst the allure of crackling flames. Constructed in consideration of the region's bushfire risks, materials like rammed limestone, granite, and bluestone rock ensure durability, while rammed earth and stone walls punctuate the interiors with elegance.
With its layout defined by three pods capturing the northern light, "Libby's Retreat" embraces multi-generational living. The main bedroom suite boasts a generous ensuite framed by retractable glass doors, creating a seamless blend between indoor and outdoor realms. A separate wing caters to younger family members, offering independence and comfort. At the core of the residence, the central living pod, complete with a magnificent wood fireplace, fosters a space for togetherness. This masterpiece extends beyond its walls; it's a tribute to Libby's legacy, a testament to her vision, and a sanctuary where family bonds are kindled and cherished.
Carefully Curated
Designed with unwavering attention to detail, "Libby's Retreat" in Western Australia's Peel region bears the mark of a harmonious fusion between captivating design and heartfelt considerations. As a cherished haven for Libby, Geoff, their children, and growing grandchildren, this single-level holiday house seamlessly integrates striking architecture with the warmth of a fireplace.
A house made into a home
The layout, thoughtfully divided into pods capturing the northern light, provides space for multi-generational living while ensuring that every inch of the residence pays homage to the magnificent views of the Peel Estuary, the Darling Ranges, and the surrounding landscape. This design narrative, guided by the backdrop of Libby's vision and her enduring spirit, resonates throughout the durable choice of materials like rammed limestone and granite, right down to the intricate nuances of the retractable glass doors that blur the lines between indoors and the sprawling outdoors.
The Process
The design process behind "Libby's Retreat" was a deeply collaborative journey, where the family's aspirations and architect Suzie Hunt's expertise converged to craft a sanctuary that resonates with their shared vision. With Libby, Geoff, their children, and grandchildren intimately involved, the architectural canvas came alive with their collective desires. This multi-generational holiday house, set against the stunning backdrop of Western Australia's Peel region, became a testament to their input and the architect's ingenuity. The layout, divided into pods that capture optimal light and scenic views, reflects their desire for harmonious living spaces. The family's close involvement, from concept to material selection, ensured that every inch of "Libby's Retreat" resonated with their values, resulting in a place that truly feels like home.
