The indigenous people of this land, the Whadjuk Noongar, tell the story of the land’s creation through their Dreamtime stories. Galup, the traditional name for Lake Monger, translates to “place of fires”, a traditional camping and hunting ground. The Dreamtime creation story for Galup is the lake is the location where the creation serpent, the Waugal, emerged from the earth and re-entered to carve an underground channel to the Swan River. Extending the lot side boundaries to where they meet the Lake Monger shoreline, this subtle bend in the waters is replicated in the first-floor roof form. The proposed residence features a rising spiral staircase in the home’s entry foyer, reflective of the Waugal rising from the ground in creating the lake.
The home’s ground plane creates a functional foundation for the residents. The garage boasts five car spaces and large storage facilities. The garage’s curved wall is designed to ensure a comfortable entrance and exit for any car type, this level of attention to detail being the Minniti & Son standard that our clients have come to expect. A mud room creates an intentional threshold when arriving or departing from the home, demonstrating attention to detail with a bench seat and storage below. A multi-tiered theatre room allows movies to be enjoyed with friends and family without disrupting the rest of the home.
The first floor boasts the main living core of the home, with a spacious kitchen and scullery to prepare incredible meals for the family. Designed to include a wide range of integrated and high-end appliances, this kitchen has been curated to make even the finest of chefs jealous. Move into the dining room and eat with incredible views of Lake Monger. Home feels like a holiday with stunning floor to ceiling windows harnessing natural light and filling the heart of the home with the sun’s beautiful warmth. Transition from the open-plan living area to the alfresco, with outdoor seating overlooking the pool and spa, perfect for entertaining friends and family during summer. Why go to a hotel when your home boasts lounge chairs by the pool, a secluded private spa and an outdoor kitchen for family barbeques? Wembley House brings resort-style living to suburbia, providing a curated luxury experience with the convenience of urban living.
