The design concepts shaping the future of luxury homes in Perth.

As a market leader for 30 years, Giorgi is at the forefront of pioneering unique and innovative design and construction in Perth. We speak with Logan Dongray, a Giorgi architect known for his expertise in luxury residential design in Perth, to gain insights into the future of home design and how it could shape the way we live for years to come.

The future of home design is set to integrate sustainability and technology, focusing on connected and personalised spaces. Giorgi, Perth’s leading luxury architecture builder, is at the forefront of this vision. “As an architect, you evolve with trends and technology because the danger of sticking with a trend is that it can go out of fashion,” says Perth boutique residential architect Logan Dongray. “At Giorgi, we develop timeless concepts that are right for now and decades to come.”

Giorgi’s vision for the future of luxury homes in Perth is exciting, intriguing, and bold, with biomorphic curves, sharp angles, and gravity-defying elements. , and sleek materials that bend and wrap around large bodies of water. A visually light glass rectangular level opens the home to its coastal environment and natural landscape while protecting it from the elements. “It’s a visually stunning home that piques curiosity,” he explains. “In this rapidly changing world, our homes must integrate nature and technology and boast dynamic, adaptable designs that cater to the diverse needs of the inhabitants.”

In the past decade, home design has shifted from traditional enclosed interiors to open layouts promoting connectivity and inclusivity, resulting in a more seamless integration of the kitchen, dining, and living areas. As people’s needs evolve, the spatial layout of homes will also change. “In the future, the kitchen and dining area will continue to share space, but living rooms may be partially open or separated by stone walls, creating distinct zones for various activities,” predicts Dongray, who specialises in exclusive residential architecture in Perth.

The trend of multigenerational living is growing, challenging architects to design homes that provide flexibility, privacy, comfort, and autonomy to all. Staircases, movable screens, and planted terraces will create distinct living areas. Some homes may host a young family on the lower floors with separate living quarters for the grandparents on the top level, ensuring each has its own space within a unified household.

The design of architectural spaces plays a crucial role in facilitating casual interactions and social connections. Homes are increasingly designed with better street access, allowing owners to meet and mingle with neighbours. At the same time, provisions are made to maintain personal privacy, allowing them to withdraw when needed.

Since the start of the pandemic, an increasing number of people now work from home. This change has made us rethink the traditional separation between work and personal life. In the coming years, the home workspace will become more central, allowing us to synchronise with our everyday routines and nurturing the blending, rather than separation, of our professional and personal lives.

Biophilia, a concept introduced by biologist EO Wilson in 1984, describes our innate attraction to nature and living things. Its increasing popularity can be attributed to the continued urbanisation and widening gap between humans and nature. Over the next decade, biophilic design will become even more important, with exterior spaces designed to be as comfortable, liveable, and accessible as our interiors. They may include private retreats like balconies and terraces and communal green spaces within multi-residential buildings that encourage connections with nature.

According to Dongray, natural materials such as timber and stone and materials derived from natural resources such as glass and concrete allow connectivity in floor layouts, seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, and purposeful separation between interior living spaces and bedrooms. “Design requirements are increasingly leaning towards integrating nature in design, and when combined with good inclusive design, we can design homes that allow everyone to live independently or participate in family life as naturally as possible,” says the Perth luxury architect

Driven by the integration of home automation devices, natural language processing and household appliances directly linked to WiFi routers, we can expect a rise in technically advanced household assistants designed to anticipate our every need. These extraordinary advances will revolutionise how we interact with our living spaces. “Larger homes are already being built with a dedicated IT room to house technology that makes updates easier, and this will become a standard inclusion in future homes,” Dongray believes. The future holds huge promise for ground-breaking innovation and thrilling home design.”  Watch this space.
