Stronghold House v2
INDIVIDUAL ARCHITECTURE / A PERSONAL RESPONSE
A second chapter.
A stronger expression.
More than a decade after their first family home with CBD Architects, a returning client begins a second chapter in Gnangara, Perth. With teenage children and a growing business needing part of the property, the brief calls for a fresh response to family life and the land.

01 / ARRIVAL
Industrial by intent.
Red brick and black metal give the home its industrial character. Low brick forms sit alongside a taller black-clad volume, with the striped arrival court and sheltered entry reinforcing the direct, robust material language.
02 / FAMILY & PROPERTY
Room for a different rhythm.
The family has changed since the first commission. Teenage children bring different daily routines, while a growing business also needs a place on the property. This second home responds to that broader brief, with poolside and outdoor living spaces forming part of family life.
03 / AFTER DAYLIGHT
A quieter expression.
At dusk, the brick and dark metal take on a softer presence. Sheltered thresholds and the pool terrace give the home a different atmosphere as the day draws to a close.
