Upside-down houses like the New Horizon make a lot of sense for blocks with ocean views, such as this APG Homes two storey display.
The kitchen and main living areas are upstairs, and open to a balcony which reaches across the entire width of the home, maximising any available views.
Also upstairs is the main suite, which provides good separation from the downstairs children's section.
Entry is via double glass doors which open to a hall with the staircase at the far end.
On the right is an open study which is big enough to be used as a bedroom or guestroom.
It has a double glass sliding door to the verandah under the balcony.
Also downstairs are two minor bedrooms, each with built-in robes, and a big activity room with a glass sliding door to outside.
The bathroom has a shower and a bath under the window.
There is a separate toilet, triple-sized linen cupboard and laundry with a glass sliding door to a drying area.
Upstairs, the main suite has a glass sliding door to the bedroom and big his-and-her walk-in robes with shelving and drawers.
Past the robes is the ensuite, which has a double vanity and mirrors, lots of cupboards and drawers and a big corner shower.
A big separate toilet has a door to the ensuite and to the landing at the top of the stairs.
The main living area has a raked ceiling, with a big window at one end and a glass sliding door to the balcony at the other.
Across from the dining and living areas is the kitchen which has an island bench/breakfast bar and a double under-mount sink.
There are stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances, including a wide underbench oven, gas cooktop with wok burner and range hood.
The kitchen overlooks the dining and living spaces.
This home was an entrant in the 2009 HIA-NAB Perth Housing Awards.
