Kirby Architects

Kirby Architects specialise in residential architecture, using our expertise to work with our clients to design homes for different lifestages.

We think big and never feel we are too small. Today we are all about fun and enjoying life and the spaces we habitat. We were established in the 90’s by me, Kirby Roper, with a vision to provide to a niche market for creative, innovative, and modern building design, performed with flair and imagination. Well... We listen to our clients, are innovative with the use of materials but love classical

traditions, modern in the way we live/are in our daily environment. I still perform all this with flair. Life is about enjoyment when you work, with whom you work and when you walk into a space. If not you feel..sad, dreary and uninspired. We, still have a dynamic team in the office, who are passionate about GOOD architecture, construction and service. We offer a comprehensive Architectural Service to ensure our clients confidence in realising the project in an informed manner on time and in budget. We are all about giving you the information to make decisions. We are not afraid of telling it how it is.. and we love GOOD design however small or grand.

Heritage home seamlessly blends restored charm with a modern two-story extension, featuring open-plan living, a central Carrara marble kitchen, light-filled spaces, and thoughtful design for accessibility and sustainability.
