Why build a luxury two storey home in Perth?
Land in Perth’s most sought-after suburbs is becoming tighter, and the demand for flexible living spaces continues to grow. A two storey home maximises every square metre, separating social areas from quiet retreats while allowing outdoor space to be enjoyed without compromise. The upper floor can frame skyline views or parklands, while the ground level remains connected to the garden and entertaining zones.
What makes a great double storey home design?
Strong design begins with how people live. Good circulation, natural light and smart zoning make a home both practical and comfortable. Bedrooms grouped together, open-plan kitchens that anchor the home and seamless indoor-outdoor flow all contribute to enhanced comfort.
Style meets function: Popular design trends
Modern facades are moving toward lighter tones and a sense of understated luxury. Inside, open layouts provide natural light and seamless movement between the kitchen and living areas. Indoor-outdoor living continues to drive home design, supported by sliding or stacking doors that remove the line between home and garden. Textural elements such as timber battens and soft renders bring warmth and character to contemporary architecture.
Villa Scala
Villa Scala demonstrates how a double storey home can feel open and generous, even on a narrow block. Influenced by Palm Springs architecture, the design uses glass and light to create a calm, inviting space. The sculptural staircase, inspired by the Guggenheim Museum, defines the home both in name and identity. Upstairs, private bedrooms overlook the pool and alfresco area below, connected through a central void that brings in natural light. Every inch has been planned for function and flow, turning a compact site into a high end luxury home.
Villa Rose
Villa Rose blends modern curves and striking materials across two floors. The lower level opens into a marble-clad kitchen and alfresco space that surrounds an underground pool, while upstairs offers a retreat with a lounge, master suite and walk-in robe. Large glass voids flood both levels with light and sculptural detailing gives the façade an elegant rhythm. From the Shou Sugi Ban timber to the showcase garage, Villa Rose reflects how double storey design can elevate both functionality and luxury.
By The Swan
By The Swan captures how double storey design can respond to both family life and site. The multi-level layout follows the natural slope of the riverside block, with horizontal planes that reference Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Falling Water.” Inside, the open voids and split levels connect living spaces across floors, while natural stone and American Black Walnut finishes bring warmth and continuity.
