Secondary Dwellings + Multi-Generational Living | Perth Western Suburbs
Independent Space, Thoughtfully Connected to Home
Architecturally aligned secondary dwellings designed for modern family life.
When your family’s needs shift, we create separate spaces that remain meaningfully connected – stand-alone dwellings designed for ageing parents, young adults, returning children, or evolving lifestyle requirements.
Each structure is considered in its siting, scale, and architectural language, ensuring it feels like a natural continuation of your home rather than an afterthought. From compact studios to fully self-contained residences, we design and construct spaces that offer independence, privacy, and long-term flexibility within the community you love.
Design and construct, or build-only to your plans.
What We Do
New standalone dwellings that complement your existing home through cohesive materials, proportions, and detailing.
Comfortable, private accommodation for ageing parents, adult children or carers – enabling families to stay close while living independently.
Purpose-built studios for work, guests, or transitional living, designed to evolve alongside your lifestyle.
Secondary homes that nestle into the landscape, with thoughtful positioning that preserves privacy and enhances outdoor flow.
Design & Construct. We guide your secondary dwelling from initial concept through council approvals to completion. This includes architectural drafting, council approvals, material selection, and construction.
Build-Only. Plans already approved? We collaborate closely with your architect or designer to deliver the build with precision and care.

Common Questions
-
Every secondary dwelling begins with a conversation. We discuss your family's needs, site conditions, and budget. We start by understanding what you want to achieve. Then we outline the best path forward – design, approvals, or construction.
-
That's completely fine. Most clients come to us at the beginning. Our design-and-construct service includes architectural drafting, site analysis, and council guidance. We help shape your ideas into a clear, buildable scope that suits your site, family, and budget.
-
We regularly work with external architects and designers. We review your drawings, coordinate with your design team, and deliver the build with quality and clear communication.
-
Yes. Secondary dwellings in Perth's western suburbs need development approval. Requirements vary based on setbacks, site coverage, heritage overlays, and local policies. We advise on requirements early and can manage the approval process for you.
-
Costs depend on size, finishes, site access, and services. Early on, we provide guidance based on your brief and site. As designs develop, we refine costings to match your budget.
-
Timeframes depend on project scope, approvals, and site factors. We provide a schedule during design. Once construction starts, you'll receive regular updates.
-
Yes. Many western suburbs properties have limited space, rear access, or boundary constraints. We design secondary dwellings that work within these limits while maximizing light, privacy, and function.
-
Yes. Secondary dwellings need water, power, sewer, and sometimes gas connections. We coordinate all services and ensure everything is compliant before handover.
-
Many clients build with flexibility in mind. A space that works for ageing parents now could become a studio, rental, or guest space later. We design for adaptability.
