Rowe West began with the compact Banksia floor plan from YourHome’s Design for Place series. Moving from inner-city Perth to a rural block, our clients were clear: design for passive solar performance, aim high on energy efficiency - and do so on a modest budget.
Sitting midway along a gently sloping site with views across farmland and native forest, the house takes its cues from place. Its shed-like gabled form is clad in dark custom orb and fibre cement, grounded by patterned concrete block blade walls that define arrival, frame key spaces, and extend visually from interior to exterior.
Inside, robust materials - raw blockwork, burnished concrete floors, and warm timber joinery (including a library wall with rolling ladder) - meet light-filled living. All main rooms are oriented north for winter sunshine; deep eaves and cross-ventilation help moderate summer heat. Performance glazing, insulation, and thermal mass combine to deliver a 9.2-star NatHERS rating.
As a fully electric home, sustainable features don’t stop at the shell: rooftop solar and battery storage, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and climate-appropriate fixtures all shape a home built for the long haul.

Kitchens 🩶 the heart of the home.
Last week the Margaret River community and building industry lost a true legend. Pete Geersen was our main cabinet maker and a great mate, he was just an all round genuine good guy, one of the best. He will be terribly missed by all who met him. His memory lives on in all the houses he helped us make into homes. Rest in Peace mate 🩶 Shane and the Black Point team.
