MSWA Mega Home Lottery: Beachfront accessibility

Your daily routine would be transformed if your very own front door was just a short stroll - only 150 steps, to be exact - away from the shoreline of Marmion Beach.

This will be a reality for the winner of the next MSWA Mega Home Lottery who will be walking away with our most MEGA Grand Prize yet, a $4.2M Marmion beachfront home, along with a casual $100,000 cash to use as they wish. 

Situated on West Coast Drive, the house has been designed by Webb & Brown-Neaves with future proofing and accessibility at the forefront. Given the potential challenges the sloped block presented, particularly concerning accessibility, WB recognised the need for a carefully considered design.

“The challenge is amplified on a sloping site like Marmion, where the natural topography must be adapted without compromising building compliance, privacy, or the structural integrity of the site,” describes Designer Innovation Lead, Joseph Calasara. 

“Designing with a focus on accessibility and liveability not only enhances its immediate functionality, but also ensures its long-term value. Whether accommodating young families with strollers, providing ease of access for individuals recovering from injury, or eliminating the need for costly renovations as the occupants age, this design prioritises inclusivity.”  

WB, known for designing luxury homes, notes an important part of the design was to tie in a strong connection to its amazing surroundings, so the house feels like a natural extension of the coastal environment.  

By incorporating [accessible] elements, the design elevates the spaces, making them larger, more open, and better suited to a wide range of needs.” 

The house is open and fluid, with multiple accessible features - most notably the inclusion of an elevator and wide passageways. 

The result is a home that not only exudes luxury but also offers a higher level of comfort, functionality, and future adaptability. This enriches the living experience without sacrificing elegance or style. It caters to a diverse range of needs, ensuring the home remains versatile and supportive for all stages of life.”
