ARCHITECTURAL HOME BUILDERS PERTH
ARCHITECT-DESIGNED
A great design only matters if it gets built the way it was drawn. We’re the builder Perth architects hand their most ambitious homes to.
THE BUILD PARTNER
Architectural Home Builders Who Realise the Design, Not Water It Down
An architecturally designed home lives or dies in the build. The cantilevered first floor, the 6-metre sliding pocket door, the flush detail where concrete meets timber, the shadow line that has to run dead straight across three rooms: these are the things that make an architect’s drawing special, and they’re also the first things a builder out of their depth will value-engineer away. Mayfair doesn’t. We take the drawings as the brief and work out how to build them, not how to avoid them.
That mindset is why architects and designers across Perth bring us their hardest residential projects. We’re a hands-on, family-run builder, comfortable reading a complex set of plans and pricing them honestly, and you can see the result in our completed Perth homes. It’s the same standard that runs through our luxury custom homes work.
HOW WE WORK
How We Build Architect-Designed Homes With Your Architect
The best architect-designed homes come from a builder and an architect who actually talk to each other. We come in early when we can, pressure-test the detailing for buildability, and flag the decisions that affect cost or program before they’re locked in, rather than after. Then we get out of the way and build it. Your architect stays the author of the design; we make sure it survives contact with the site.
We’re equally happy joining a project that’s already fully documented and tendered. Either way, the drawings lead and we deliver them.
What working with Mayfair looks like:
Early collaboration with your architect on buildability and sequencing
Honest pricing of complex detailing, before anything is committed
Comfort with structural ambition: cantilevers, large spans, exposed concrete and steel
Care with bespoke materials, custom joinery and the high tolerances architects expect
A single accountable team from first drawing to final defect, with FSC safety accreditation
Building Your Architecturally Designed Home, From Drawings to Handover
The hard part of an architectural home isn’t the idea, it’s the hundreds of decisions between the rendering and the handover. We manage that ground methodically. Before a tool is picked up, we work through the documentation in detail, resolve the junctions and tolerances that always hide in a complex design, and line up the trades who can actually deliver that level of finish.
On site, the difference shows in the things you don’t notice: the joins that line up, the reveals that stay consistent, the surfaces that sit flush. We hold quality checks at every stage and keep the architect in the loop, so the finished home reads the way it did on the page.
We’re also straight about cost. Architectural homes carry their own drivers, structural complexity, imported or bespoke materials, glazing, and the labour that precise detailing demands, and we walk you through each one early so the budget and the design stay in step. You’ll never be surprised by a number late in the build.
MODERN & CUSTOM
Modern, Custom and Architecturally Designed Homes in Perth
No two architectural homes are alike, and that’s the point. We’ve built everything from sharp, modern architectural homes with crisp lines and big glazing to warm, custom architectural homes layered with natural materials and bespoke joinery. What they share is a design that asks more of the builder than a standard home ever would.
This is the kind of work behind projects like our award-winning Bunbury build and our recent Subiaco renovation, where the detailing had to be exact. If you have an architect and a design you love, or you’re still choosing one, we can help you build it properly across Perth and beyond.
You can tell a serious architectural builder by the finish, and by who trusts them with it. Mayfair’s founder, Rowan Streater, was recently named in the WA 40under40 awards, and our Bunbury project won the People’s Choice Award at the 2024 Hart & Co. Kitchen & Laundry Awards. Recognition like that comes from craftsmanship that stands up to a close look, which is exactly what an architect-designed home demands.
It also helps that we’re easy to deal with. With Mayfair you work directly with a small, accountable team that signs its name to every home and stays on the job to the last detail. If you’d like to see the standard before you commit, our residential portfolio is a good place to start.
