0624 Shenton Park Townhouse
Shenton Park Townhouse is a residential renovation and adaptive reuse project in Shenton Park, Perth, transforming a 1960s apartment block into two contemporary architect-designed townhouses overlooking Lake Jualbup.
Situated in one of Perth’s most established and leafy western suburbs, the project responds to a unique brief from two separate clients seeking to convert an existing four-unit building into high-quality, executive-level homes. The design balances shared architectural language with individual responses, delivering tailored outcomes that maximise outlook, privacy and long-term liveability.
The development takes full advantage of its parkside location, with both townhouses oriented to capture views across Lake Jualbup while maintaining a strong sense of privacy through careful planning, material selection and screening. A restrained and timeless material palette reinforces the connection to the surrounding landscape while ensuring durability and low maintenance.
The southern residence at 66A Excelsior Street is designed for a professional couple, with a focus on generous, light-filled living spaces and seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The ground floor is arranged as an open plan living, dining and kitchen zone that extends onto a large elevated deck overlooking the park. This outdoor space enhances the sense of openness and provides a direct visual connection to the landscape.
A private rear courtyard further strengthens the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, allowing for cross ventilation, natural light and a secondary outdoor retreat. Despite the compact footprint, the layout is carefully resolved to maximise usability and spatial efficiency.
The upper level accommodates a spacious main suite with walk-through robe and ensuite, positioned to capture elevated views of the lake. A second bedroom, study and supporting amenities are integrated into the plan, ensuring flexibility for changing lifestyle needs.
This Perth townhouse renovation demonstrates how thoughtful architectural design and strategic alterations can transform an existing building into contemporary, high-performance homes, delivering increased value, amenity and connection to place within a compact urban site.
