When you buy an architect-designed home you will get a beautiful home, thought out and designed by a professional who has completed at least five years of study at university and finished two years practical experience before obtaining their professional registration.

This focus on learning how to best design homes results in smarter layouts, higher overall quality, better energy efficiency and a general sense of style to the finished property.

Love where you live

All these elements, often the attention to the smallest details, make living in the home more enjoyable, and should lead to a higher resale value if you ever decide to sell. The layout, style and functionality of your home should stand the test of time.

Some homes are designed by a draftsperson. Traditionally a draftsperson prepared technical drawings and plans under the direction of an architect. It only takes about one or two years to obtain a qualification to do technical drawings.

Architects produce better results

Generally the difference in the end design between an architect and a drafty is pretty stark. Flick through the pages of any home design magazine and you won’t find homes designed by a drafty!
