| Japanese-Inspired Retreat Generating a Soothing Ambiance: The Azumi House Posted: 28 Jul 2014 04:47 AM PDT 
We love to see how great traditional design is sometimes delivered in the mix of contemporary architecture and The Azumi House by Webb & Brown-Neaves cleverly achieves this task. The lovely Japanese-inspired four bedroom, two bathroom display home in Burns Beach, Perth, Western Australia is original and highly appealing. Priced $449,000, the villa exudes a soothing oriental atmosphere and a powerful indoor-outdoor connection.
 Traditional elements stand out in the design scheme: “In synergy with the Japanese art of achieving harmony with nature, the Azumi's iconic shoji screens, water gardens, feature timber ceilings and horizontal detailed windows exude a calming Asian influence. Fundamentally a family home, the Azumi is not without Webb & Brown-Neaves sophistication and comfort, featuring a central gourmet kitchen, 5-star master suite, high ceilings and a stately, formal entry”. A separate wing for children or guests further enhances the Zen-like ambiance of the home. Enjoy the fascinating details showcased by The Azumi House and let us know your thoughts regarding this traditional home approach!
