Architecture & construction · Perth
Homes shapedby light, landand how you live.
We design and build considered contemporary homes across Perth, with one team guiding every decision from the first sketch to the day you move in.
The studio
Architecture and building under one roof, so the home you draw is the home you get.
When design and construction sit with different firms, ideas are often lost between them. At Aurelia, the architect who listens to your brief works beside the builder who will deliver it, from the first site visit onwards.
One accountable team
A single point of contact from concept to keys.
Costed as it is drawn
Construction input at every design stage keeps the budget honest.
Built to last in Perth
Details and materials chosen for sun, salt and sand.
Selected projects
Homes with a sense of place
Each project starts with its site: the light, the view and the way the land falls. These illustrative projects show how that shapes the result.

Our philosophy
Restraint, then richness.
We favour a few honest materials, used well, over a long list of finishes. The result is a home that feels calm on the first day and still feels right twenty years later.
Site first
Orientation, breeze and outlook are settled before a single room is drawn.
Considered detail
Junctions, thresholds and joinery are resolved on paper, not improvised on site.
Craft that lasts
Materials that age gracefully, chosen with the people who will install them.
How it works
A clear path from first meeting to handover
Seven stages, each ending with a decision point, so you always know what comes next and what it involves.
