About Reverse living Perth
Reverse living homes probably started in Scandinavia, but the trend is quickly being embraced in Perth, this ties in well with the relaxed informal lifestyle and our great climate.
Reverse living homes also take advantage of all the surrounding views and changing landscape. Reverse Living is also suited to open country spaces, and even bushland, having your main living space upstairs means your family gets beautiful views throughout the day, seeing the landscape from the best possible vantage point.
Living upstairs in a reverse living home also allow the maximum light into your home being above the shadow of the fence line and scrubs and allowing the breeze to run through the home unimpeded, this gives the feel of being in a holiday home, light and breezy with a beautiful view from the areas used the most.

Disadvantages of reverse living in Perth
Disadvantages include bringing the shopping up, taking the washing down, security to the lower floor, addressing an aging population and the big one as to how to integrate the outdoor areas like the garden and pool areas with the living areas.
Some ideas that we have tried to incorporate into our designs are things like lifts or at least a lift shaft, bin chutes and laundry chutes, external stairs to give access to the outdoors, raised pools that relate better to the upper living areas.
The reverse living homes can workout clunky if a lot of thought and experience doesn’t go into the planning and execution stages.
Some things that should be taken into consideration when building a reverse living house are:
Arriving on the upper floor to take in the view.
Getting from the front door to the stairs easily and quickly.
The location of the powder room on the upper living.
Protecting your own privacy.
Kitchenette or small kitchen to the lower living area.
