Home Architects in Melbourne

Architect Designed Homes in Melbourne

Investing in your own home is a huge undertaking. However, with the right planning and careful decision-making, it’s possible to achieve something remarkable that will bring years of satisfaction and comfort. A lot of people dream about a certain kind of architecturally designed home with different features, but few take the plunge and retain the services of a professional to help them achieve their goals. Architect-designed homes in Melbourne – like everywhere else – come with an air of prestige and quality, so why don’t more people engage with a professional from the beginning?

At BY Projects Architecture, we have practised as home architects in Melbourne for over 30 years and also have direct building experience. We have spoken with countless people in this time who lamented the fact that they didn’t work with a residential architect when they were designing their home. It’s very tempting to accept plans that are readymade, particularly when you lack time, or believe that you don’t have a flair for design. The truth is, with a great professional team by your side, you can often achieve more for the budget that you have and end up with something completely unique.

As the best big or small house architect in Melbourne, we strive to make the process of creating your ideal home fun and exciting throughout. Our clients are at the heart of everything that we do and we go to great lengths to meet their needs and deliver on time and on budget.

The Truth About Architect Designed Homes

There are many reasons that a lot of people who could work with an architect choose to take the quicker route to have a home built within the budget that they have. The most common reason is that they believe that the cost of professional architecture services will eat into their savings. Architect designed homes suggest that a lot of money was involved, but the reality is that whatever the available budget was set at, that’s what the architect used as the basis for every decision.

Finding the best materials, securing superior workmanship and making creative decisions are all things that a great architect will handle, and in line with what you want to spend. You can actually achieve a vastly more impressive home through this process and make your budget appear to have been a lot larger based on the finished product. Read More

You’re not just paying for the team here at BY Projects Architecture to draw a bunch of plans. We have a wealth of experience and expertise across a huge range of areas from site selection to market research, design and documentation, construction management, coordination of consultant team and post-contract administration to name but a few. Your money goes very far in our hands.

Those who believe that they don’t have time to work with an architect should think twice about this. An architect can determine the fastest way to achieve the most efficient route to completion. Given that we can offer total project management services, this streamlines the entire process and minimises the need for multiple points of contact.

Home Architects for Building Better

When thinking about making home improvements, whether out of want or necessity, your to-do list can quickly get out of hand. And sometimes it might even be an uphill struggle to build a cohesive team from multiple companies. That’s why it makes sense to go with the home architects team that can do it all.

Most people are enthusiastic about their dream project and optimistic – in the beginning. But the more complex the project, the more moving parts there are – and the more management is needed to ensure the process runs smoothly. It can be time-consuming, frustrating, and – at times – confusing, for those without professional experience.

Of course, the best – most convenient – solution is to engage the services of home architects with the knowledge and experience to help you on this journey. Having advice and guidance available from an architecture company in Melbourne to leverage during times of important decision-making is invaluable. It ensures the job is done right the first time, preventing the need for expensive remedial work in the future.

Our green architects provide designs made using natural, renewable, and even recycled materials. We have extensive knowledge of all our materials, allowing us to use them wisely in different areas. By designing right down to the brickwork, we can leverage natural heating/cooling effects to help you save on energy costs. We will survey the environment and analyse the position of nearby shaded areas and sunlight to ensure your building is in the most beneficial and energy-efficient orientation.

We want you to reap the benefits of our vast experience for many years to come.

Making Decisions with Home Architects

While our home architects are here to offer guidance and advice along the way, this is your project. We listen to your ideas and find the most effective way to implement them. Whatever the budget, you can rely on our decades of experience to bring your vision to life.

The journey through a home improvement or commercial development project can throw some interesting – often complex – spanners in the works. But instead of overseeing the work of many separate companies, it’s far easier and less time-consuming to work with a company that can provide the complete commercial architectural services you could need.

At BY Projects Architecture, our experts are here to make sure your project stays on track and within budget. Seeing your project take shape and come together as a whole is an exciting time. We want to help you enjoy the process while we take care of the rest. Read Less

I highly recommmend the team at BY Architecture.

Barbara, Howard and the team designed a wonderful extension to my late 1960s Melbourne home, ran the tender process to find me a builder, and superintended the build contract.

The design process that Barbara took me through was comprehensive, well-considered and highly collaborative, and the resulting extension and renovation was incredibly well-tailored to my specific needs and desires.

The tender process was similarly well-run, and we ended up choosing a builder that Barbara had worked with many times before and recommended. The recommendation was a great one and the entire build ran very smoothly, with the many quirks arising in a typical renovation being dealt with intelligently and with no fuss.

During the entire time I worked with them, Barbara and her team went over-and-above to keep me happy. As a result of their attention to detail and their focus on customer service, they ensured that what can often be a stressful time was actually a pleasure. I cannot thank them enough and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Barbara and the BY Projects team were fantastic to work with for our knockdown-rebuild. We had no idea what we were doing or getting ourselves in for, and through every stage of the process Barbara explained everything and was supportive and transparent.
She drew plans for a beautiful house for us which fulfilled everything we wanted while adding such flair and style that we never could have imagined ourselves.
I was so glad to have her and her team on my side throughout the build process, as we would have struggled to advocate for ourselves (or even notice) mistakes or defects by the builder.
Overall, we just couldn’t be happier with the final result.

Thank you for your enthusiasm Emily. And thank you for trusting us with your dream Home. It's been a pleasure working with you and your family, and we trust you will enjoy your home for the years to come.

We were in a very difficult position after a VCAT rejection. Barbara came into our project and reimagined what was possible with our property. Going from a house with three shops with significantly reduced value to a development with two town houses, a cafe and all able to be subdivided into three separate properties. Barbara was positive, enthusiastic, charming at planning meeting and all in all kept us positive and hopeful. Barbara went through the whole process with us and I would say went above and beyond what would generally be expected. She worked well with our development team, working out strategies for planning challenges. We are very thankful for her time and energy.

We engaged Barbara and her team many times over many years for our Building Development Projects, including Multi Residential, Child Care and Mixed Use. Most recently for a couple of houses in Port Melbourne with complex Heritage Overlay requirements.

Barbara worked with us closely to ensure all design requirements were achieved to exceed market expectations. All permit requirements were managed in a professional and timely manner, and all processes were met on time and on budget.

The finished buildings were outstanding and the realized sales well above market expectations.

We highly recommend BY Projects Architecture for their Design sense and construction experience.

I have worked with Barbara and the team at BY Projects on a number of projects now. Its hard to think how you could get better value for money. They are great architects - that goes without saying. But its the extra mile they go to on your behalf in order to secure the very best for you that makes all the difference. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for your next project.
