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