Perth is home to spectacular architects. Many of these architects have built amazing homes and are well-renowned not only in Australia, but internationally as well. Many of these people and practices employ different approaches, have different styles, and exhibit different nuances in the art of designing a home.
The majority of architects in Perth offer other services as well, such as interior design, engineering, and even furniture for your home. All of them, however, are guaranteed to satisfy and hopefully even exceed your expectations.
The architects on this list were chosen on the basis of reviews, awards received, customer testimony, and of course quality of work. There are many talented architects that could not be included on this list. With diligent research, you too can find people that will help you build your home. Feel free to contact us if you feel someone has been missed on this list.
To help you build your dream home, there are many choices out there, but here are a few of the best architects in Perth.
Perth Building Broker
While not your conventional Architect and as the name is somewhat self-explanatory it’s not entirely correct as they do much more than that.
Perth Building Broker is a small closely-knit team of a registered builder, a designer with a Masters of Architecture and a qualified engineer. In short Perth Building Broker :
- Design your dream home & helps select all finishes
- Completes engineering and council approvals
- Tenders out to 3-4 builders to get the lowest price
- Monitors the build throughout to make sure the builder is doing as they say
So you may think this is great, what’s the cost? Perth Building Broker only charges a small fee upfront and is paid the majority when you sign up with a builder.
They get paid a commission by the builder similar to what the builder’s sales rep would get. However, instead of working for the builder, they work for you.
I highly advise if you contact these guys before you spend a fortune at an Architect.

Robeson Architects Perth
Robeson Architects is an architecture firm based in West Leederville that excels in contemporary architecture and interior design. In particular, the firm features residences that have a distinct sense of urban modernity. Aside from a superior sense of style, they also emphasize designs that are functional. Capitalizing on spacious living, Robeson Architects excels at creating comfortably stylish homes.
The Perth firm gives a detailed and excellently managed seven-stage process which ensures that project execution is efficient and transparent. Robeson Architects is run by Simone Robeson, a director, and architect from the University of Western Australia, a member of the Australian Institute of Architects, who is registered with the Architects Board of WA.
Robeson’s first project, Triangle House, received a commendation from the Australian Institute of Architects in 2015, building on the principles of contemporary Japanese simplicity while presenting famously geometric elements. King George was a project that called for the conversion of a Grade-A heritage-listed worker’s cottage into a modern home; it highlighted the original structure with a wonderfully contrasting modern extension to create a striking blend of old and new.
