I need a good building designer who understands what I want ...

The design of your new home or home addition can be quite a daunting task for most people.  Hiring the services of a building designer is a wise choice when you consider the many benefits and peace of mind it will bring. Every project is as unique as the individual. We include solar passive design principles where possible as standard in all our designs and work with you to develop a design you will be proud of.

Located in the foothills of Perth, Western Australia we work in many areas both metro and country including (but not limited to) Chidlow, Gidgegannup, Wooroloo, Toodyay, Darlington, Mundaring, Sawyers Valley, Northam, Bullsbrook, Gingin, Brigadoon, York, Midland, Beechboro, Swan View, Middle Swan, Guildford, Melville, Herne Hill, Swan Valley and many more.

We work with a variety of traditional and alternative building materials including double brick, timber framed, steel framed, brick veneer, stone, reverse brick veneer and of course rammed earth, stone and straw bale.  Depending on your location we can even provide you with a quote from a respected local builder providing good old-fashioned service so please don't hesitate to ask.

With a custom design from Studio West Design you are free to take your plans to any builder for quotes or even owner-build without fear of copyright infringement.  We give you copyright to use the design as you wish, with any builder or even to owner-build, for the life of your building project.  Read more ...

For excellence in building design along with good old fashioned service just head for the hills!
