Residential Architecture
Archtur’s approach to residential architecture is founded on the idea that the home is a deeply emotional space. As a residential architecture and home design firm, we work closely with homeowners to translate personal values, such as sustainability and multigenerational living, into purposeful house architecture design.
We guide clients through site constraints, cost planning and regulatory compliance with clarity and intention. That way, every step of the process is approached with foresight.
Our role is part residential architect, part advocate. We protect the design vision while solving problems before they surface. Our responsibility is to remove complexity for our clients, so they can focus on envisioning the life they want to lead.
Featured Residential Architecture Projects
What you see here are homes where design intent has been carried through every decision. Every home began with a deep dive into lived experience. How will our clients use space? How might their needs shift over time? From there, our house designers moved forward with structured project oversight: managing consultants, approvals, budgets and build.

Businesses We Serve












-
1. What types of commercial projects does Archtur work on?We work on a wide range of commercial projects, including restaurants, aesthetic clinics, retail shops, offices and multi-storey commercial facilities. Our process revolves around customising each design to your brand’s identity, operational goals and spatial context for compliance and meaningful user experiences.
-
2. Why should I work with a commercial architect firm instead of just a contractor?A commercial architect firm brings strategic design thinking, regulatory expertise and long-term spatial planning to the table, something a contractor alone may not provide. At Archtur, we guide you from concept to authority approvals to build-ready plans for your project to be holistically designed, not just constructed.
-
3. Do I need to secure permits before engaging Archtur?No. One of our strengths lies in handling regulatory submissions on your behalf. We manage the entire authority clearance process, such as URA change-of-use, BCA approvals and fire safety. We guarantee that your project complies with all relevant codes and regulations for your peace of mind.
-
4. How involved will I be in the design process?Very. Our approach is highly collaborative. We begin with a deep discovery phase where we align on your goals, needs and constraints. Throughout design development and detailing, we maintain open communication and integrate your feedback to ensure the final outcome reflects your vision and priorities.
-
5. How long does a typical commercial project take?Timelines vary depending on the scale and complexity of the project. We’ll provide a clear project schedule during the early stages and keep you informed at every milestone.
