DESIGNFREO ON LOCATION 25: VITTINOASHE / ETON

Welcome to ‘The Garden of Eton’.

Designed by vittinoAshe, Eton is a new home in North Perth for a couple with distinct ideas about what they needed: she’s a renowned jewellery maker, and he likes making beer. 

There’s so much we love about this project. An exceptional jewellery-making studio, set apart from the main house. The way texture has been worked into the design, despite allergies that ruled out rugs, curtains and the other usual ways of bringing softness into a home. The re-use of materials. And the beautiful landscape design, a response to Country and the site’s ancient ecology, featuring an inviting, above-ground natural pool.

It’s a house built around working from home, creative practice, a serious home-brewery set-up, and a layout that welcomes extended family. Eton was recently recognised at the WA Architecture Awards in the residential and sustainability categories. Find out why when we tour the house and hear the architect and homeowner in conversation, revealing the many details that make this place so extraordinary.
