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 new and architecturally renovated homes.
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.
