Whitehaus

What Whitehaus does

Whitehaus is a privately held architecture studio headquartered at 2 Church Street, Perth, Western Australia, designing public, residential, commercial, and community buildings across the state. Founded in 2012, the firm uses 3D modelling and BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology to deliver architectural outcomes from concept through to construction documentation, and positions its heritage in construction documentation alongside creative design intent as a core differentiator.

The studio operates on a professional services revenue model, earning design fees, project management fees, and construction documentation charges on a project-by-project basis with quote-driven pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Customer segments span private residential clients (family homes, holiday homes, renovations, multi-dwelling developments), commercial and government clients (institutional and civic buildings), community and not-for-profit organisations (educational and youth precincts), and a newer NDIS-compliant disability-housing developer segment. Notable projects include Seafarers, St Georges College / YIC precinct in South Hedland, Brisbane Street Apartments (NDIS-compliant), Treetop House (passive solar), and the Augusta Boat House.

Whitehaus operates exclusively in Western Australia with a single headquarters and no disclosed geographic expansion, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or institutional investment. Distribution is entirely direct via client consultations and project-based engagement. The firm is partnered with construction contractor Kastle on the Brisbane Street Apartments project, evidencing early-stage design-build ecosystem integration. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, or awards are documented in the available sources.
