Resort
When we escape on holiday, the water has an almost mystical draw. It calls to us – from the raw power of ocean waves crashing, to the serenity of a koi pond, or the rhythmic laps of a deep blue swimming pool. Picture a thatched bungalow over the warm blue water of Bora Bora. Or a standalone cabana by an infinity pool in the Maldives. Or watching the sunset from your private lanai in Hawaii overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Picture yourself relaxing in a spacious villa with its own private courtyard. Lightweight curtains billow in the summer breeze. Relax in your luxurious lanai, outdoors yet in total seclusion next to a tranquil water garden or turquoise lap pool.
And when we return home, we dream of recapturing this feeling, free from everyday stresses and responsibilities. An oasis in our own home, in comfortable yet luxurious surroundings, soothed by the tranquil sound of water. A place where every day is a reminder of tropical getaways. A sanctuary where every need has been anticipated, and nothing has been left to chance.
Our Resort editions capture the essence of a tropical getaway, adapted to our contemporary Perth lifestyle. Imagine raised pavilion roofs rising to a peak, with angular gutters to evoke the pagodas of Asia. Designed with multiple pavilions around a private central courtyard for outdoor entertaining, where the indoors seamlessly transition to the outdoors. Separate but connected pavilions cater for the way we live today, with multi-generational living, to accommodate parents, teenagers or guests.
Spacious, wood-paneled bathrooms with crisp, white towels are your personal refuge. Or fire up the barbecue and open up the whole house to celebrate with family and friends. However you live, the resort is waiting for you.
Resort Home Designs
Featuring impressive volumes, expansive sections of glass, effortless indoor/outdoor living and a pared-back interior, our Resort-style homes combine the true relaxation and sophistication that we seek in our day-to-day lives.
1. What defines the architectural style of a resort-style home?
Resort-style homes resemble tropical getaways and holiday homes. The style is defined by peaked roofs, angular gutters, connected pavilions and private courtyards. The intention is to invoke a sense of escape and sanctuary, or a modern oasis.
2. How can I find experienced builders specialising in resort-style homes?
Oswald Homes are highly experienced in building resort-style homes. In fact, we are uniquely suited to customising a home that is beyond ordinary. We can help you create a home that is luxuriously appointed and reflective of your personal style.
Oswald Homes has been designing and building luxury resort-style homes in Perth since 1972. We work hand-in-hand with a designer, an interior designer and an experienced construction team to create a one-of-a-kind home that is as individual as it is timeless.
3. What are the key design elements and features of a resort-style home?
Resort-style homes tend to feature indoor spaces that transition seamlessly to the outdoors. We often see expansive sections of glass, pared-back interiors, spacious bathrooms and luxurious finishes. Often, these homes incorporate water features, fountains or pools for an added sense of luxurious resort-style living.
4. Are resort-style homes designed to be energy-efficient and sustainable?
Oswald Homes prides itself on designing homes that are sustainable and energy efficient. Our resort-style homes incorporate passive heating and cooling design, smart lighting, wise water use, recycled materials, and eco-conscious building products.
5. Can I customise a resort-style home design to match my preferences?
Absolutely. All of our resort house designs can be customised to reflect the way you want to live. For a more bespoke solution, you might prefer an entirely custom-built home, where we work with you on every aspect with meticulous detail.
6. How does resort-style architecture blend with modern amenities and technologies?
A resort-style home can include modern amenities, such as the latest smart home technologies, contemporary kitchens and luxurious ensuites, without disrupting architectural integrity. The result is a harmonious blend of tropical charm and cutting-edge living, perfect for today’s discerning homeowner.
7. Can you provide examples of completed resort-style home projects for inspiration?
Oswald Homes have some completed projects that are stunning examples of resort-style architecture. For example, The Resort is inspired by Balinese retreats, while Langkawi recalls the private retreats of tropical islands.
