Designing luxury homes for Perth’s climate requires more than technical knowledge—it calls for a deep understanding of light, lifestyle and local living. The architecture must feel effortless, not in spite of the environment, but because of it. At Minniti and Son, we approach every home as a response to its place, designing residences that are not only visually refined, but intuitively suited to the rhythms of Western Australian life.
With decades of experience delivering custom homes across Perth’s most prestigious suburbs, we understand how to design for warmth, glare, breeze, and coastal living—all while preserving the architectural expression and material integrity that define true luxury.
Light, Orientation and Thermal Comfort
Perth’s light is clear and unforgiving. Designing for it means more than positioning a window for a view—it means balancing exposure and shade, capturing warmth in winter and filtering heat in summer. Orientation is foundational. North-facing living spaces and shaded western façades help maintain year-round comfort, while deep eaves, operable screens and high thermal mass materials work together to regulate temperature.
In homes like Wembley House, the design leverages solar access and cross-ventilation to enhance liveability. Light moves across the surfaces naturally, shifting tone throughout the day. It’s not just sustainable—it’s beautiful.
Indoor–Outdoor Living, Refined
Luxury in Perth is inseparable from lifestyle. Outdoor living isn’t an afterthought—it’s integral to how the home works. At Minniti and Son, we create spaces that flow effortlessly from interior to exterior, often blurring the boundaries between them. Terraces, alfresco zones, landscaped courtyards and balconies are designed not just to be used, but to be experienced.
In our Applecross project, elevated outdoor spaces offer privacy and orientation while still engaging the surroundings. It’s this level of spatial control that allows our clients to entertain, relax and retreat in comfort year-round.

Materiality that Withstands and Ages Well
Designing luxury homes for Perth’s climate means selecting materials that not only perform, but age with grace. UV exposure, salt-laden breezes and high heat place demands on surfaces and structure. We favour authentic materials—natural stone, robust timbers, concrete, glass and metal—that express texture and character, while standing up to the elements.
Explore how our approach to authentic materials and thoughtful detailing informs the longevity of our homes. Every element is chosen not for trend, but for its ability to elevate and endure.
Architecture That Embodies the West
Ultimately, designing for Perth’s climate is about more than reacting to the environment—it’s about embracing it. Our homes reflect the West not just in how they function, but in how they feel: relaxed but refined, open yet composed, grounded in place. We build with discipline and clarity, ensuring every project responds to its context while expressing the identity of its owner.
