We are designers of unique custom homes that support and enhance the lifestyles of those who inhabit them.
Our design process encompasses the entirety of the home, from the central building, through the interior design, and the surrounding landscape design. This all-encompassing perspective on house design is filtered through a lens of bettering the lives of the people who live there, and in this way we are able to design homes that are at once beautiful, functional, and perfectly suited to how you live your life.
“We place a special importance on getting to know our clients and how they live in their home, so we can translate their unique way of life into a one-of-a-kind design that acts as a singular expression of their individuality.”
– Janita Norman, Lead Building Designer

About House Design with Realm Building Design
House designers that understand your needs
A founding principle of our practice is that a well-designed home – one that has been designed specifically for you, your family, and your lifestyle – will make your life easier.
A well-designed home will flow, everything will have its place, and you will wonder how you ever lived anywhere else. This vision is our guide when setting out on every home design project.
We start by preparing a comprehensive design brief and exploring the things that are important to you; the things you want to achieve within your home – and even the things that do your head in!
We believe that good design enriches our lives, not only does it enhance our quality of life by creating beautiful, authentic spaces in which to live, but it also allows us to operate with ease, flow and efficiency in our homes and everyday lives.
Why you need a custom home designer
So many houses built today are merely pieced together: an assembly of rooms built to a formula with no thought as to how the home functions and how it encompasses the people who live within the walls.
There's a difference between simply having a room, and a room you love that meets and exceeds your expectations. As designers, we design spaces creatively and informatively to elicit just this feeling – like the perfect dress or a well-tailored suit.
What sets Realm Building Design apart from the rest?
We are a design practice comprising a dynamic collective of creative designers and technicians working collaboratively to achieve aspiring design outcomes for our clients.
Your new home is for keeps and you need to get it right – you want to make really sure that your home expresses your individual style, is totally unique, has the wow factor, and that you achieve what you set out to do: to create YOUR remarkable home.
Like people, no two locations are the same, and we believe that no two homes should be the same. Your site deserves something special, so why would you take advice from those that are not design professionals, or deal with someone who doesn't listen, understand your ideas and is just not on the same page?
We understand that you want to be fully immersed in the project but at the same time need help with the myriad decisions that must be made... it's no wonder so many people become overwhelmed and come to a standstill before they ever start their forever home project!
With Realm Building Design you will be fully informed and in a great position to avoid common mistakes which will save your valuable time, your emotional energy and your money.
