— Alessandra French, co-director of State of Kin The architecture and design of the house connect intimately with its site near Lake Monger. The main door, located at the base of the steeply sloped site, opens to a triple-storey foyer that features Perth- based artist Elle Campbell’s art and a Fordite 3 rug from CC-Tapis. These lively additions complement the fluid design of the staircase’s handrail. “The handrail winds seamlessly around the spine of the staircase like a delicate ribbon that curves and flows up, over and around the path of travel,” describes French. The CC-Tapis Fordite 3 rug by Patricia Urquiola echoes the colourful brushstrokes on the wall-hung painting by Elle Campbell
