JOLIMONT might be a long way fromTwickenham but the owners of thisstunning home have done their best tobring a little bit of West London to thewestern suburbs.
They designed two narrow houses sideby side, similar to the terrace houses ofLondon and facing a park at the back, toutilise the lush green grounds as a sharedback yard.
Suzy said this set up created a realsense of community.
"In London it is very common for agroup of houses to all look on to acommon garden or park that they allshare," she said.
A kitchenette, complete with small
fridge, sink and cupboards, allows the toplevel to be a self-contained area forguests.
Along with a main bedroom, there isalso a bathroom and two doublebedrooms, one with a small balconyoverlooking Jersey Street.
With its pitched ceiling and wall ofglass, the spacious main bedroom hasspectacular views of Mabel Talbot Parkand a stunning ensuite with contemporaryfittings, plus a walk-in wardrobe.
At the back, an open-plan living, diningand kitchen area opens through floor-to-ceiling timber-framed bi-fold doors to ahuge tiled deck with built-in barbecue andfridge.
Caesarstone benches, a big centralisland, Blanco oven and five-burner gashob feature in the kitchen, and a glossgrey glass splashback running the length ofthe kitchen adds to the sleek look.
A home theatre provides a cinemaexperience without leaving the house.
On this level, there is a massivestoreroom or cellar plus a garage, withthe driveway accessed via a small lane offthe park.
"We're quite passionate about thehome because we built it for ourselvesnot just as a property development, andwe really spent the time and the money tomake sure everything was top of therange and just right," said Matthew. ■

“It spills out onto the lawn and has been great forentertaining family and friends… it’s good for the kids becauseit does open to the backyard,” she said.
Louise, her husband and two boys have lived here for nineyears, and Louise said it was the perfect house and area forprimary school-aged children.
“I didn’t think when I moved in it would be as familyoriented as it is. We have had street parties, street drinks,

Corian benchtops has ample storage space, with a preparationsink in island bench, integrated dishwasher, glass splashbacksand frosted glass-front features to the cabinetry.

WHY BUILD – THIS IS UNDER REPLACEMENT!

Reputation for ceramics firmly laid
CHOOSING the right tile for your homecan be a daunting task.
The options are endless, with all sorts offactors to consider.
Besides looking good, is the tile slip-resistant, stain-resistant, long-wearing, easyto clean and nice to walk on?
Should it benatural stone orceramic?
Has any plant,animal or humanbeen harmed in theproduction of theproduct?
Thankfully, MSTTiles can answer allyour questions.
A family-operated companyin Osborne Park, ithas been importingsome of theworld’s finestceramic tiles formore than 40years.
Most come fromregions in Spainand Italy, drawingfrom centuries ofcraftsmanship andtiling tradition.
According to MST Tiles managing directorJohn Tavelli, the tiling industry is foreverimproving and developing new products inthe quest to create better, less slippery, more
natural or justmore fabulous-lookingvarieties.
One of thefirst questionspeople ask iswhether tochoose naturalor ceramic tilesand Mr Tavellibelieves thereare manyadvantages tochoosing man-made.
“Ceramic tiletechnology canproduce tilesthat replicate a
variety of natural products so well that theyare mistaken for the real thing,” he said.
“In the past, this was not the case andthere was a distinguishable difference
between the real and the man-made. “However, looking good is one thing but
you need more reasons to actually choose aman-made product over the naturalmaterial.”
Advantages of ceramic tiles include theavoidance of thedestruction orreduction oflimited naturalproducts, andthe fact thatman-madeproducts canimpart superiortechnicalproperties suchas higher scratch resistance, colour fastness,UV resistance and slip resistance.
Mr Tavelli says in this day and age,environmental considerations are alwaysimportant and architects and designers inparticular are sensitive to environmentalconcerns when choosing products.
“The real advantage of dealing with moreestablished and reputable suppliers is thatthey have production plants that are designedto cope with strict environmental standardsand in fact choose to improve their standardscontinually as a point of difference to some of
the less expensivecompetitors,” he said.
“The demand for moreenvironmentally sensitiveproducts will only beincreasing as time goes on.
“The top priority, ofcourse, is a tile that looksgreat and stays looking greatand MST Tiles has a fantasticrange to suit just about any
surface.”While the replication of natural stone is
still the most popular choice, there are nowtiles that replicate timber, metal, glass andeven leather. Plus there are tiles that glow atnight and the latest innovation – tiles thatabsorb pollution. ■

Media Statement March 2009
First Time Buyers can avoid the traps in buying
A Perth settlement agency, and its co presenters, Westpac and First Home Buyers
Direct, are assisting to take the headache out of the purchase and settlement of

AS one of Perth’s most popular touristattractions, the team at Kings Park BotanicGardens and Parks Authority realised therewas something missing that could providevisitors with a great feeling at the start orend of their journey.
That idea resulted in the standout Aspectsof Kings Park building on Fraser Avenue – atthe hub of Kings Park – which gives visitorsthe chance to take home not just parkmemorabilia, but something special.
Marcelle Broderick, director of Businessand Visitor Services, said they wanted to addto visitors’ experience, with a clear requestfor high-quality products that reflected WA.
The parks authority decided to build and
run the store themselves tomaintain a high standard –starting with a philosophy ofexemplary customerservice.
Profits are re-invested in the storeand staff arepassionate aboutcreating a directrelation betweenAspects and the park,as well as stockingbeautiful pieces that arehigh-end but not untouchable.
Marcelle said they had a range
of stock that appealed to differentgroups and budgets – all with a
connection to nature andall different and unique.
“[If someone] waslooking for something
very special tobecome a focal point
or conversation piecefor your house, [a
piece from here] isguaranteed to providethat… most pieces are
one-off and all are hand-made,” she said.
Business manager Nicole Parks
and stockist Catherine Healy have workedhard at getting WA artists’ work into thestore, and now more than 60 per cent of artis created by local artists.
Pieces stocked range from small andintricate jewellery designs through to tablewear, prints and large sculptures.
Designers include WA glass artists DavidHay and Catherine Lys, WA fine furnituremaker David Byl, WA ceramic artist AmandaShelsher and popular Mud Australia andDinosaur Designs.
WA metal artist Rod Laws’ recycled metalsculptures – including a giant orb and a tub-style chair dubbed ‘Don’t Just Sit There’ –form an in-store spectacle. ■
