Weststyle

What Weststyle does

Weststyle is a family-owned custom home builder and designer headquartered in Balcatta, Perth, Western Australia, operating under the Ricciardello family since 1968 (with the Weststyle brand established in 1985). The firm serves affluent individual homeowners in Perth and broader Western Australia who are commissioning bespoke, architecturally designed luxury residences typically valued between $600,000 and $7,000,000+, as well as selective renovation and addition projects. Its business model is a high-touch, sales-led, direct-to-client engagement with no intermediaries, and revenue is generated entirely from one-time custom design-and-build contracts, intentionally capped to a "limited number of clients" per year to preserve service quality.

The firm's core offering is an integrated design-build model spanning nine service lines: Planning, Architecture, Interior Design, Visualisation, Approvals, Custom Build Management, Custom Built Homes, Renovations and Additions, and after-sales Service. The in-house team of approximately 16–20 people includes architects, interior designers, estimators, site supervisors and construction assistants, supported by recurring collaborations with external architects (Hillam, EHDO, Carrier & Postmus, SCHIN) and interior designers. Technical differentiators are passive solar design principles (orientation, thermal mass, insulation, glazing) incorporated into every project to achieve 7–8 star energy ratings, and a seamless in-house integration of architectural design and construction delivery that removes the traditional designer/builder interface for the client. The business has no disclosed revenue, no external investors, and no parent company; it is privately funded and family-controlled, with Managing Director Tony Ricciardello (HIA WA President, re-elected 2025) leading operations alongside founder Ted Ricciardello.
