On a rare multi-level site in South Perth, Giorgi has delivered a private residence that redefines prestige riverfront living.
Known for its architectural ambition and construction mastery, the 861 South Perth Residence represents a new benchmark in bespoke residential design.
The residence is a statement in architectural vision that Giorgi is known for.
While the site’s zoning allowed for apartment development, Giorgi instead envisioned something singular – an exclusive, four-level private residence that preserves the rarity of such a location. The result is a bold architectural statement that enhances both lifestyle and the surrounding cityscape.
From the outset, the residence asserts its presence as more than a dwelling. It contributes to the architectural landscape of Perth’s cityscape, merging structural finesse with artistry, and showcasing the capabilities of some of the state’s most skilled tradespeople.
An arrival of impact
The journey begins with a dramatic entry sequence, anchored by curved glass and a sculptural spiral staircase.
Above, a bespoke pendant light wraps elegantly around a circular skylight – a striking centrepiece that draws daylight deep into the interior while celebrating scale and craftsmanship.
Soaring ceilings heighten the sense of vertical volume, while meticulous detailing and warm, refined materials create a welcome both intimate and impressive.
Craftsmanship and materiality
Inside, Giorgi’s hallmark precision is on full display. Every element is resolved to hotel-level specification, demonstrating a balance of warmth, refinement, and enduring design ethos.
The interiors are enriched with custom-designed furniture to complement the architectural design. Voids strategically link levels, bringing in natural light, framing vistas, and connecting spaces both visually and spatially.
Water as a design element
A defining feature is the infinity-edge pool and spa on the first level. Suspended above the entry, it captures sweeping views across the Swan River and Perth city skyline, while spilling into a reflection pond at the base of the home.
This dual gesture delivers both tranquillity and drama – creating a serene soundscape at entry while visually anchoring the residence to its site. It is an exemplar of Giorgi’s ability to merge form, function, and sensory experience.
A retreat within the retreat
The master suite exemplifies residential luxury at its most refined. Conceived as a private sanctuary, it includes its own foyer, expansive dressing room, and a sophisticated ensuite featuring switchable glass. With a single touch, transparency shifts to translucency – balancing openness with discretion.
From here, residents enjoy uninterrupted outlooks framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing, with carefully planned sightlines extending even to Kings Park and Mount Eliza.
Seamless lifestyle integration
Luxury is not confined to formality. A private gym with river views blurs the line between wellbeing and indulgence, while living areas flow seamlessly to outdoor terraces. Floor-to-ceiling glazing maximises both connection to the landscape and protection of privacy – a hallmark of Giorgi’s design philosophy.
The result is a home that balances grandeur with comfort, spectacle with seclusion, and design with lifestyle.
A showcase of craftsmanship
Behind the elegance lies technical precision. From the complex spiral staircase to the structural integration of the pool and reflection pond, every detail speaks to Giorgi’s construction mastery.
The residence stands as a showcase of Perth’s most accomplished tradespeople, whose skill and dedication are evident in finishes that range from the meticulous detailing of natural materials to the seamless execution of challenging structural elements.
Contribution to Perth’s architectural fabric
Beyond its role as a private residence, 861 South Perth Residence makes a broader contribution to Perth’s architectural identity. It demonstrates how bold vision, technical expertise, and uncompromising quality can transform a site into a landmark – not through scale, but through design ambition and craftsmanship.
As a practice known for uniting architecture and construction under one roof, Giorgi continues to set new standards in the city’s high-end residential market.
Redefining residential luxury
In 861 South Perth Residence, Giorgi has delivered more than a home. It is a statement of possibility: how considered architecture can shape the experience of living, how craftsmanship can elevate every detail, and how design can both respect privacy and embrace the landscape.
With its soaring skylit volumes, cascading water features, and seamless integration of lifestyle and luxury, the residence stands as both a private sanctuary and a public demonstration of what Perth’s architectural future can be.
