25.01.2022 | LEGO | When confronted with the challenge of providing a client the opportunity to understand their plans in terms of scale and space in a tangible way.... LEGO. #dalkiethjob #perthdesignandconstruct #perthdesignerbuilder #lightframecontstruction #pertharchitecture #perthdesign
25.01.2022 | JAPANESE WORKBOOTS | well almost... week end inspection on the Unalla job in Peppi Grove. The original home, built in 1903, had a fern house, tennis court and stables. These are the beautiful old time worn tiles in the entrance that previously have been hidden by carpet. The house is filled with grande details that are being lovingly restored. Brining in much needed natural light, we have installed 5x3m sky light above the jarrah stairwell and are also adding on a modern light framed extension on the northern elevation of this stately old masonry mansion. #lightframeconstruction #perthdesignandconstruct #litehousebuilding #peppermintgrove #pertharchitecture #mosaictiles
25.01.2022 | ALL IN THE DETAIL | ....and because we love to indulge in a little Ivanoff now and then. Another example of a smaller home of approx 190 square meters thats finished with an undisputed attention to detail. Imagine the dinner partys had in this incredible space...and soon more to come...#designbig #lightframeconstruction #perthbuilders #perthdesignandconstruct #perthdesignerbuilder #iwaniwanoff #paganinhouse #australianarchitecture #pertharchitecture #mcm #modernistarchitecture @symonhayes

24.01.2022 | LOCAL LEGEND | This awesome pad resides here in our home town of Perth. What makes our suburbs appealing to us? Its the layering of the different eras of quality design and architecture, the trees, verge scapes, green spaces, villages and hubs for community to connect. We need to invest into quality not quantity. Get creative with your space without leaving a big footprint. Design and ideas need to be for life, not something to be bowled over in 20 years. Build a sustainable future with something that lasts generations. #litehouseloves #litehousebuilding #perthbuilder #archidaily #lightframecontstruction #designandconstruct #perthdesignerbuilder
23.01.2022 | THE CASTLE | Building on a sloping block offered the opportunity to design this split level Litehouse for 5. Placing the single storey home on the southern side of this east/west block provides abundant northern light for the main living spaces and yard. Our clever in-house designer is creating vantage points from within the house for viewing the big old gums out the back. #liteframedconstruction #litehousebuilding #perthbuilders #perthdesignerbuilder #perthdesignandconstruct #australianarchitecture
23.01.2022 | REMEMBER THESE? | It was always the arches that caught the attention of drivers traveling by along The Boulevard. Now fitting in the last pieces of the puzzle, at last the marble balustrades goes up at the #paganinhouse #yeow #comingtogethernow #litehousebuilding #iwaniwanoff #australianarchitecture #remakinghistory
22.01.2022 | PORTAL FROM THE PAST | Reclaimed Ironbark from an old Queensland wharf finds a new home in Mt Hawthorn. One of the reasons we specialise in building light frame homes is because we get to work with highly skilled carpenters who have the ability to build a home in its entirety and then add dynamic details such as this portal framed pergola. This 30m long pergola creates a canopy under which to dine and a partition dividing the pool and lush lawn. Each piece of the portal frame weighed in excess of 250kg.
22.01.2022 | POWDER ROOM PERFECTION | This backlit beauty with basin was designed by our very talented client. We meticulously restored the old heritage listed home as well as added on a whole new light framed modern extension that now floods the home with natural light. Here you can see the stunning old skirting board and door thats tucked under the grand old jarrah stairwell...more to come! #litehousebuilding #perthbuilderdesigner #perthdesignandconstruct #architecture #perthinteriordesign #lightframedconstruction #powderroom #backlitmirror
22.01.2022 | LET THERE BE LIGHT | Natural light floods the upstairs bathroom at Unalla. Weve installed an enormous sky light above the old jarrah staircase and completing the construction of a light framed extension on the northern elevation at the rear of the old masonry home. Research has proven that natural lighting helps people be more productive, happier, healthier and calmer. Its also sustainable and free! #sustainableliving #lightframeconstruction #perthbuilder #perthbuilders #litehousebuilding #heritagehouse #peppermintgrove #australianarchitecture #perthdesignandconstruct #perthdesignerbuilder #efficienthomes
21.01.2022 | PETRICHOR | A farming family’s home named after the pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather. The rain is coming soon @petrichorhouse breathe it in and soak it up
21.01.2022 | LOCAL LEGEND| Having always admired this little gem on my early morning walks, thought I’d take a snap in daylight hours ....Lovely gracious owner warmly greets me and invites me into her slick MCM abode getting a tour to boot! Sweet! Built in ‘65 by architect Brian Cook for his own home, this house features internal glass panels, heble ceilings, original bathroom and ...no, it’s NOT for sale! We love sharing in the passion for this unique era. It’s so important that we pre...serve what good architecture we have. Whether it’s a weather board, Californian Bungalow or a more stately edifice of the late 1800’s/early 1900’s, it’s vital we honour the integrity of the design principles of that particular period. Treasure the character, work with what you have, be sympathetic to the era and if you’re extending upon an old abode, get creative and design something that will also come to be valued in the future.

20.01.2022 | STREET CRED | How cosy is your neighbourhood when you can safely open up your kitchen window like a garage door to your street. Every kitchen needs one of these servery windows, whether its into your street or into your yard. Create an instant outdoor kitchen in your garden by simply opening up to the elements. #litehousebuilding #lightframecontstruction #perthbuilder #pertharchitecture #cedarcladding # serverywindow

17.01.2022 | LITTLE ALBION | Discreetly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the street, this family beach house is small in footprint but big in design.

15.01.2022 | UNALLA HOUSE | What a privilege it is to be undertaking major renovations on this heritage listed Federation mansion. Built in 1903 it is the largest remaining mansion in Peppermint Grove, the home features wide verandahs, sweeping windows, a grand staircase, high ceilings and huge rooms. Now we will be creating an altogether different story....exciting things to come! #litehousebuilding #lightframedextension #renovation #perthbuilder #perthdesignandconstruct #perthdesignerbuilder #pertharchitecture #heritagelisted #peppermintgrove #unallahouse
12.01.2022 | OPTICAL ILLUSION | Leading creators of wallpaper since 1875, British company Cole & Sons geometric design Prism adorns the walls of a master bedroom. Warm tones of cedar and plush carpet make this bedroom a luxurious hideaway from the rest of the family home below. #litehousebuilding #perthbuilders #lightframeconstruction #smarthouse #sustainablearchitecture #australianarchitecture #cottesloe #coleandsons #prism #wallpaper #cedarcladding
11.01.2022 6 MONTH turnaround and our happy clients have a home replete with pool and landscaping. Having the walls and roof framing prefabricated in a controlled environment expedites construction time. #perthbuilderdesigner #liteframecontstruction #shaddowclad #sikkensebony #litehousebuilding
11.01.2022 | BACK IN BLACK | We the contrast of a black house. Our urban streets can do with a bit of a shake up. Theres so many alternative materials to choose from with a light framed house, here in Subi our clients have chosen shadow clad and stained it in Sikkens ebony. Looks great with their native garden and concrete hardscaping. Lets keep mixing it up a bit Perth #perthdesignandconstruct #litehousebuilding #pertharchitecture #lightframecontstruction #perthbuilder #shaddowclad #sikkensebony #timberframehouse #sustainablearchitecture #perthhouse #perthbuildingdesign

08.01.2022 | QUALITY / QUANTITY | just like @archiblox espouses...Design BIG rather than build big This Cottesloe home is 200 square meters of inspiration and innovation, and it feels like home. Its essential, in an effort to really understand a clients needs, to connect, take the time and let plans and ideas unravel. #lighthousebuilding #lightframecontstruction #perthbuilders #cedarshiplap #northfacing #pertharchitecture #perthdesign #cottesloe #australianarchitecture design by @meaghanwhitearchitect by @lukedigwa @dionrobeson

08.01.2022 | IWAN IWANOFF | Whether you know and admire his work or not, theres no denying the cult status of this local Perth treasure. Pictured here is the view from the lounge to the raised dining room. Most of the carpentry is complete, now for the finishing touches #perthbuilder #iwaniwanoff #paganinhouse #midcenturymodern #mcm #jarrahceiling #modernistarchitecture #brutalistarchitecture
07.01.2022 | INSIDEOUT | Connecting the outdoors with the in is imperative in a climate like we have in Perth. Here at one of Cott jobs, breeze blocks keep the air flowing and the pizza oven keeps the masses fed. This fabulous outdoor space has already hosted a number of gatherings.

06.01.2022 | HOUSE ON THE HILL | Watch out Bunbury, Litehouse is heading your way! This slick black pad is made up of two pavilions capitalising on elevated eastern views across to the hills. #lightframeconstruction #bunbury #pertharchitecture #designerbuilder #designandconstruct #litehousebuilding #archdaily #australianarchitecture
06.01.2022 | IN HOUSE SIMPATICO | The beauty of working collaboratively with @stack_design means we can come together from the very first client meetings where we discuss the site, clients unique briefs and of course the budget. Working like this enables us to run our jobs efficiently and cohesively. With the wealth of close to 50 collective years of building experience, we understand engineering and of course building methods and materials. Combine this with Stacks simple pared back ae...sthetics and we have an in house simpatico, continually bouncing ideas back and forth through the project to bring to life the best build possible. The client brief? All modern Australian on the outside, but inside a nod to their second home Japan with traditional entryway (genkan) and and tatami room. One of the challenges we faced was working with a steep sloping site. To limit costly retaining we designed the home to house the garage underneath. A lot of time was spent with the homes orientation not only for wind and solar but also to offer privacy for both client and neighbour. Being perched on a steep incline, views sweep high over a valley to the city and windows frame old gums and Norfolk Pines. A breeze block wall captures the Fremantle Doctor (our local cooling sea breeze) while referencing the original mid century homes of the area.
05.01.2022 | TREE HOUSE| We love that our clients wanted to build around this beautiful big tree. Older, more established suburbs are often more appealing simply because the gardens and verges are more verdant. When designing a home with Litehouse we encourage our clients to consider the sites natural surroundings and integrate landscaping early in the process. #timberframe #scyonlinea #serverywindows #litehousebuilding #lightframeconstruction
05.01.2022 | SUNBURNT COUNTRY | Resting amongst the eucalypts, sandalwood and acacias, this will soon be the outlook from our clients family home. Perched atop a natural escarpment the site looks north over these beautiful bleached out hues of Summers harvest; this will be one spectacular LITEHOUSE #perthbuilderdesigner #perthbuilder #pertharchitecture #countrybuild #lightframeconstruction #sustainablebuilding
05.01.2022 This dynamic renovation by @heartlydesignstudio in Melbourne is a perfect example of how a modern light framed extension can juxtapose so well along side the old. @litehousebuilding partners with some of Perth's top architects and designers such as @klopper_davis_architects to create exciting and innovative light framed extensions and new homes. #litehousebuilding #perthbuilder #sustainablebuilding #perthdesign #australianarchitecture #efficientbuilding #bespokedesign #weatherboardhouse #klopper_davis_architects #officerwoodsarchitects

02.01.2022 @litehousebuilding we design outdoor landscapes to compliment your homes aesthetic from the initial design stages.

01.01.2022 Anyone recognise this 1960's Masterpiece? If you're a modernist enthusiast, or if you've ever just driven down The Boulevard or lived in the Floreat area, you'd have noticed this standout home. @litehousebuilding is honoured to be entrusted with rebuilding this Iwanoff local treasure alongside @wrightfeldhusen, complete in its original, former glory. Yesterday we signed the contract to rebuild this incredible home, a year to the day 165, The Boulevard, tragically burnt to the ground. Hats off to our amazing clients for being so committed and passionate about restoring this Perth architectural icon. #paganinhouse #litehousebuilding #iwanoff #archilovers #perthbuilder #brutalism #modernism #liteframecontstruction #modernistarchitecture #pertharchitecture #australianarchitecture #brutalistarchitecture
