It goes without saying architect-designed homes stand out from the crowd, not just in looks but also in terms of property value.
Whether it’s a new build, an existing house, or a renovation, if you can put a renowned architect’s name to it, you will automatically be looking at higher market value, a greater resale price, and therefore a better investment than most traditional homes.
Melbourne has some incredible architects, specialising in residential homes and renovations, who are making quite a name for themselves as they create functional, efficient, and visually appealing homes. And not only that, architect-led designs deliver exceptional value for money, with a recent study conducted by Melbourne University finding that for every dollar spent on architectural fees, the property will gain more than $11 in capital appreciation. That’s a fair incentive to invest in an architect-designed home.
Stonnington Partner/Auctioneer James McCormack said that having a renowned architect or interior designer attached to the property is an absolute bonus for sales agents.
“The power of a name brand or known architect, or collaboration with a reputable interior designer goes a long way to build credibility with a buyer. These name brands provide important social proof and comfort, but more importantly allows the home to differentiate in the market as a quality product,” James said.
