Blue Waters, Perth, Art Deco residence in Como, Western Australia

Blue Waters is a residential building in Como designed in the Art Deco style located along Canning Highway. The structure features curved glass windows and geometric forms that reflect architectural influences from 1930s Florida.

The residence was built in 1954 by Mabel and Keith Perron, requiring the construction of a brickworks to address post-war material shortages. It received heritage protection status in December 1994.

The house was designed as a "party palace" and became the hub of Perth's social scene for years. Tour buses regularly paused outside it as a landmark. Daughter Judith, a model, used the house for photographic shoots. It remains a private residence, so the house is seen from Canning Highway.

The building sits on a busy location along Canning Highway, so exterior photography is best done from the public walkways nearby. Keep in mind this is a private residence and public access to the grounds is limited.

The Perrons' sons brought two baby crocodiles home from Darwin in a shoe box and kept them in a backyard pond; one later escaped the property and was given to Perth Zoo. The house also appeared in the 2014 crime thriller The Reckoning, with Jonathan LaPaglia, Luke Hemsworth and Viva Bianca.
