From the Architect: "Proclamation House is an expressive home that responds to Subiaco’s local vernacular with an abstract hand. The home’s sculptural silhouette marks its presence amid a varied streetscape, referencing the proportions, pitched volumes, and generous setbacks of the suburb’s archetypal character homes. A palette of earthy render and aluminum detailing lends rawness to the architecture while obscuring boundaries between the landscape, interior, and exterior, resulting in an immersive environment that elevates the client’s everyday living rituals."
