Residential Architecture

Residential Architecture is our forte. With hundreds of homes designed over the last 25 years we can confidently design you a home that fits your budget, meets your needs and surpasses your expectations.

Designing a home is a highly personal process. You want a home that fits your lifestyle. A home that you will enjoy for years to come. One that will look beautiful, but will have the practical features required for our times. We work with you to ensure we deliver exactly the right home for you.

Our Process page explains how it works. The first step is a site visit. Before we discuss any layout options we look at the position of your site, the sun and shadows, prevailing winds and rain, where service connections are, the proximity of neighbors and any special visual characteristics of the location.

The layout of your home follows, and if you’ve got some layout ideas and some photos of home designs you like, we start with these and adapt them to suit the site and your project desires and dreams.

This is where we can also discuss the potential integration of eco features. We have a lot of experience designing homes that have a minimum impact on the environment and that are made with approved materials.

Designing a home is a process full of options and decisions, and it’s our job to ensure we help you to make these choices correctly, so you’ll be overwhelmed with the beauty and practicality of your new home.

'Designing Your Home'

CLARITY

It’s human nature to struggle to visualise something that isn’t actually in front of you. A common challenge clients come to us with is they have ‘something’ in their head but they just can’t get it down on paper. Daily we’re bringing peoples dreams to life, to reality, and don’t be scared that you’ll make a mistake as now with the use of Virtual Reality and 3D Printing we can create your home before its built, allowing you to be clear as to the design, size, layout and feel of your new home.

STRESS FREE

Building a home is complex and sophisticated and the building industry jargon is another language. As each of our team is working in the industry 10 hours a day we’ve got templates and processes which streamlines each project, rather than you having to learn everything yourself. With a team of engineers and sub-consultants at our fingertips we can manage your project from start to finish, look after it through Council and the next thing you’ll know is you’ve got all consents and are ready to start building.

LET THE DESIGN SAVE MONEY

A little extra planning and detail can go along way in saving unwanted and unnecessary costs once you start building. Because we started out as builders we can accurately select materials and finishes which are the same quality but reduce the impact on your pocket. Simple design rules like making hallways 1220mm instead of 1200mm to fit a GIB sheet save the builders and therefore you – time and money. Even if you’re building an elaborate dream home with an unlimited budget, a penny saved is a penny earnt.

Alan and the Arcline team are a professional architectural company that have been a pleasure to work with. With industry leading design, knowledge and communication they are an awesome team to work with and live up to their motto 'Excellence by Design'.

Hawthorn Landscape Architects have worked with Arcline Architecture on a variety of projects over the last 10 years. These range from residential houses, commercial buildings and schools. The Arcline team lead by Alan Simpkin, are very professional, knowledgeable and approachable. You will feel right at home dealing with Arcline, and they have the skills and all the latest CAD technology to provide you with inspirational designs, plans and graphics. Arcline also have a very capable team of project managers and an extensive list of reliable preferred contractors to see the design through to completion.

We found that dealing with Arcline Architecture was a hassle free experience. I highly recommend that anyone needing plans drawn up for their new home should definitely get the team from Arcline on board. So easy to deal with and great communication from all of the staff that we dealt with. Thank you Arcline Architecture.

We cannot rate Alan and his team highly enough and we have had total confidence in all they have done for us over many years. They are extremely helpful, friendly and professional and make the process so easy with full support and advice. We would never use anyone else and look forward to continuing working with them with any new project we do in the future.

Alan at Arcline is good to work with and any changes required in the design stage are done fast and efficiently. Has good understanding of the space required and also puts good ideas forward.

Great team to work with!
