Custom Homes for Complex Sites in Perth
Designing a custom home is rarely straightforward, particularly on challenging residential blocks.
Sloping land, narrow lots, orientation, views, planning constraints, privacy and construction cost can all influence what is possible.
Our role is to help resolve these issues early, so the design responds clearly to the site, the brief and the realities of construction.
By integrating architecture, interiors, passive solar thinking and build strategy from the beginning, we help turn complex sites into well-resolved homes.
What We Do
Perth Residential Architect works with clients planning high-quality custom homes on complex, sloping, coastal and site-specific blocks.
Our work focuses on homes where design quality, site response, comfort and construction thinking need to be considered together — not treated as separate decisions.
Who We Work With
Based in Perth, Antony Svilicich works with clients planning custom homes across Perth’s western suburbs, coastal suburbs and the Perth Hills.
This includes clients who are:
- considering the purchase of a difficult block
- planning a custom home on a sloping or constrained site
- seeking a more integrated design and construction process
- wanting architecture, interiors and passive solar design considered together
- looking for clearer design direction before committing too far
What Sets Our Approach Apart
Our approach is based on early clarity and integrated decision-making.
This includes:
- early design decisions aligned with budget and build strategy
- architecture and interiors considered together from the beginning
- passive solar design tailored to the site and Perth climate
- experience resolving complex planning and site constraints
- a design process shaped around the realities of construction
Start at the Right Stage
Challenging residential blocks require the right decisions early.
Whether you are purchasing land, testing feasibility or preparing to design, we help you understand the opportunities and constraints before the project moves too far ahead.
Purchasing Land
Assess a site before you commit and understand its true potential.
Understanding Budget
Align your design ambitions with a clearer financial and construction framework.
Complex Sites
Develop a design response for a sloping, constrained or challenging residential block.
Design Approach for Complex Sites
Designing for complex sites requires more than a good floor plan.
It requires alignment between the site, the brief, the budget, construction thinking and long-term performance.
Our process focuses on resolving key decisions early, so the design responds to:
- site orientation
- slope and levels
- planning constraints
- views and privacy
- natural light
- construction method
- budget direction
- interior planning
This helps create a clearer path from early design through to construction.
How We Work Differently
Design & Build
A coordinated approach that brings design and construction thinking together early – reducing uncertainty, improving cost awareness and creating a clearer path toward delivery.
Integrated Interiors
Architecture and interiors are considered together, so spaces, materials, joinery, lighting and detailing feel cohesive and carefully resolved.
Passive Solar Design
Homes designed around orientation, natural light, winter sun, summer shading and long-term comfort – an important consideration for custom homes in Perth.
Selected Residential Projects
Our projects include custom homes on coastal, narrow and sloping sites across Perth suburbs, responding to orientation, planning constraints and client brief.
Coastal Residence, Scarborough
A custom home designed for a coastal, narrow and sloping site — responding to orientation while maximising natural light and connection to outdoor spaces.
Compact Urban Residence, Como
A custom residence designed for a constrained urban block — improving northern light, privacy and spatial quality.
