Walk Through Your New Home

Ever wanted to walk through your home before it was built?

Do you struggle to read 2D drawings?

The team at Whisker Architecture create 3D views of your home and a 3D Walkthrough of your space you can virtually “walk” through.

These self-guided walkthroughs are available for every client and can be accessed on any computer with an internet connection via your private link.

The best part? The model you’re seeing is the same model used to prepare the drawings for your permit submissions and 2D drawings with your builder - mitigating risks of version control or miscommunication during the process.

Save time, money, and heartache with a process that delivers clarity and transparency from the start with Whisker Architecture.

Save Time, Money, and Heartache

“Prescription without diagnosis is malpractice”

In a profession that’s notoriously mysterious and absurdly over-budget, Whisker Architecture is pulling back the curtain on architectural fees and construction costs.

Our obligation-free Home Master Plan Reports saves clients time, money, and heartache on their new build or renovation with the right advice from day one. We clarify scope and budget, to set client expectations before they invest in costly design services.

Did you know?

“For the median Melbourne house price of $1,200,000, after 10 years the home owner that employed an architect is $256,000 better off than the home owner that didn’t.”

That’s according to the latest research by carried out by the University of Melbourne and ArchiTeam, which also states that “for every $1 spent on architectural fees, the home owner gains $11.40.”
