Description
This landmark pole home converts elevation into theatre. The structure hovers above its corner site, lifting daily life into a 180-degree sweep that takes in the city skyline, the coastal plain and an uninterrupted horizon that shifts with the light. A 100-square-metre wraparound deck acts as an extension of the interior – part viewing platform, part outdoor room – where the boundary between built form and landscape dissolves entirely.

The design here is simple but effective: raise the building, open it up, and let the landscape do the rest. Pole construction creates a sense of weightlessness; the house doesn’t conquer the hillside; it floats above it.
The heart of the home is a double-height living and dining zone that capitalises on volume and outlook. Generous glazing frames the view as a living artwork, one that changes hourly – dawn light catching city buildings, afternoon haze softening the plain, evening turning distant lights into a constellation. The wraparound deck becomes an essential room, a place to drink morning coffee as birds sing, or to watch changes in weather roll in from the coast.
The kitchen occupies the south-west corner, where a breakfast bar transforms everyday meals into an occasion. Views stretch to the city and across the plain – the kind of outlook normally reserved for hotel restaurants or rooftop bars, here available over morning toast or casual weeknight dinner. A five-burner gas hob, electric oven and grill, and dishwasher handle the practical demands of family life and the gatherings that inevitably follow when you have a deck this size and views this mesmerising. The galley-style layout maximises efficiency, with ample cabinetry, drawers, and a double pantry ensuring everything has its place.
Three bedrooms occupy the upper level, along with an inviting space ideal for reading or working from home – if you can focus on work without being distracted by the outlook – and an upper-level deck. The bedrooms benefit from their elevated setting, with large windows framing blissful views and inviting cross ventilation, fitted with blackout blinds and mesh security screens. These are genuine retreats, the principal suite boasts city views, a walk-through robe and a well-proportioned ensuite. Two full bathrooms and a ground-floor powder room speak to the home’s practical layout. Split-system air conditioning ensures year-round comfort, and a 6.6-kilowatt solar array offsets energy costs.
The 1545-square-metre corner lot has potential for further construction, including additional accommodation or a workshop. A low-maintenance native garden softens the landscape and provides a habitat for birds. There’s space for children to roam, for a vegetable garden, for simply sitting under a tree with a book. The double carport handles daily comings and goings, with a level lawn providing space for a play gym or sandpit.
The location offers the feeling of being removed from urban density without sacrificing connection to it. Local schools are within easy reach, as is public transport. Midland – just ten minutes by car to the town centre and train station, offers direct rail links to the CBD. Perth Airport is a straightforward 25-minute drive.
The Hills provide immediate access to bushwalking, mountain biking, and a network of reserves. The Heritage Trail and John Forrest National Park are on the doorstep; the Swan Valley wine region unfolds to the west.
This is a home for people who understand that views aren’t a luxury but a daily necessity – something to anchor you, to remind you of the scale and beauty of our unique Western Australian landscape. It’s for those who want their children to grow up with horizon lines and bird calls, who find satisfaction in living within a building that works with – rather than against – its environment.
