New Resident Homes are Architect-Designed
Founded by architects, New Resident believes architecture should be accessible. Through its vision for affordable, ready-made architecture in Perth, Western Australia, New Resident defies the sameness and shortcutting of traditional developers to deliver a revolution in house & land packages.
Out with the old, in with the New:
- Our homes are liveable and sustainable (cost savings are not the be all and end all at New Resident).
- High quality natural and sustainable materials are worth it when you live it.
- Fixtures and finishes are of the highest specification, because little details make a big difference.
Who are the architects? New Resident was founded by award-winning, cult-followed feminist architecture practice, Whispering Smith.

Neighbourhoods
New Resident has an eye for picking great neighbourhoods. It could be because our team is made up of bike-riding, dog-walking, cafe-obsessing architects and placemakers…
Our Neighbourhood profiles are not demographics and stats, they’re more like a cool cousin showing you around their hometown.

About
New Resident is the (r)evolution of award-winning, cult-followed feminist architecture practice, Whispering Smith. Based in Fremantle, Western Australia, its projects have been featured in ArchDaily, the Design Files, Domus, Habitus, ArchitectureAU, Houses Magazine and DesignBoom.
New Resident sees ‘business as usual’ as the enemy. The old way (traditional house and land packages) will see more than 50% of Perth’s urban tree canopy destroyed, hundreds of thousands of local character homes demolished and millions of tonnes of embodied CO2 dumped in landfill. They need not.
New Resident partners with organisations and businesses who share our passion for good design and sustainable development.
New Resident is upending the WA property market with affordable, architect-designed homes built with the resident, neighbourhood and planet in mind.
Out with the old, in with the New.
