What does it mean to be Architect-led?

Our licensed architects lead our team. And they begin and complete every home with you at the center of design.

  • Each floor plan is our own creation, commissioned by a customer for a specific property.
  • We capture the hopes and dreams that inspire your project and render them into hundreds of design details as individual as you are.
  • We discover how you envision life in each room of your home and translate lifestyle into beautifully intuitive and bespoke livability.
  • We care equally about form and function, about desire and dreams.

How does a dream become a dream home?

Through a process that’s personal and purpose-built to consistently produce forever homes of bespoke design and exceptional quality.

  • Being Architect-led is an A Perry Homes distinction.
  • Our Architects will guide you from discovery to the day you get your keys.
  • We begin with a Design Meeting, where you will bring the research and inspiration you have collected—from images to notes to drawings.
  • At this meeting, A Perry Homes’ architects begin to lend our expertise and skill and begin sketching with you at the table. We create bubble diagrams to develop the relationships between each room, asking very detailed questions from you about how you live your life—individually and as a family—and draw very important inspiration from you for each space.
  • Together, we start to give the dream shape. And we leave our first meeting with a very clear understanding of the main floor.
  • From the sketches and concept, we embark on an architectural process where we pull all of the elements into a cohesive design.
  • At the second meeting, we present a fully cohesive design that shows you how we interpreted your dreams.  Here, we present the construction budget, complete with options to empower you while making investment decisions—the best way we have found to stay within budget while still having the freedom to explore to interesting ideas and the beautiful things we create during the architectural process.
  • Our studio team completes the final design into your comprehensive Architectural plans.
  • A Perry Homes’ Architects work alongside our Build team to ensure the design carries through to final construction.
