Contemporary House Design: Built by Averna

5 December 2025

Contemporary house design is characterised by simplicity, openness and a sense of connection. It avoids unnecessary decoration and instead focuses on form and light. Large windows and thoughtful openings create interiors that feel bright and welcoming. Materials such as stone and timber are often introduced to add texture and warmth. Every space is designed to ensure that rooms feel purposeful rather than excessive. For homebuyers in Perth seeking a refined aesthetic, this approach offers clarity and comfort in equal measure.

Our approach to contemporary living

At Averna Homes, contemporary living is expressed through design that reflects individual lifestyle and setting. Each project begins with an understanding of how a family moves through their day and the qualities they value most in a home. This guides choices in layout and finishes. Interiors are arranged to encourage natural flow between spaces, while exterior design responds to outlook and climate. The result is a home that feels unique to its site and personal to its owners.

Showcasing Averna’s contemporary homes

On the Point

On the Point demonstrates the balance between modern architecture and family practicality. The façade makes a strong impression, while inside, soaring ceilings and architectural voids create a sense of openness. The open plan kitchen creates a hub for everyday life as well as large gatherings. Wide stacking doors open directly onto an expansive alfresco that extends the living space. The home also includes a separate study, an activity zone for children and a luxurious master suite that provides privacy upstairs.

Villa Bella

Villa Bella represents a more understated expression of contemporary home design. Soft charcoal timbers and limestone tones create a calm palette, while curved cabinetry adds refinement. The entry void is enhanced by pendant lighting that draws the eye and introduces a sense of scale. The kitchen has a seamless relationship with the alfresco and pool area. Upstairs, a parents’ retreat with balcony access complements bedrooms designed to grow with the family. The design is elegant and enduring.

Villa Aqua

Villa Aqua pushes the boundaries of contemporary design with its cubist form and layered materials. The exterior is bold, marked by a mix of stone, timber and a striking colour palette. Inside, the open plan layout ensures continuity between living areas, dining and kitchen. Pendant lighting and high-quality finishes emphasise the sense of luxury. Glass walls reveal the lap pool and feature garage, creating views that anchor the interior. This home shows how contemporary architecture can deliver visual impact and practical comfort.

Built to fit: Contemporary homes that respond to site

A key principle of our design philosophy is that a home should always respond to its environment. This could mean orienting living areas to northern light, shaping a plan to maximise views or introducing privacy where space is limited. Perth’s landscape and climate demand sensitivity to detail, and Averna’s process ensures no two projects are the same. The result is contemporary home design that adapts to its context while retaining individuality. Each project becomes an authentic expression of place and lifestyle.
