Ray White Dalkeith | Claremont principal Vivien Yap sold her five-bedroom Tom Brooking-designed home which was built around a central circular staircase that stretched up the limestone cliff from their nine-car garage.

The property sold in an off market deal - making it the most expensive home sale in the WA capital this year.

When the house was sold, Tom Brooking of Brooking Designs said: “The house was developed as a pure response to the complexities of the triangular shaped site with limestone”.

“The three-level home effortlessly cantilevers itself over a series of circular angled columns contrasting and juxtaposing the rugged beauty of the existing landform,” Mr Brooking said.
