Our Services

As an independent firm, we offer a range of services including Environmental and Social Impact assessments, Accessibility Design, Construction Project Management, Public Art, Construction Law, Human-Centred Design, Discovery, Green Star Design, NDIS SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation), LHA Design and Assessment (Livable Housing Australia), and Royalties for Regions.

At KPA Architects, we prioritise unequalled, personalised service and quality architecture. Our team works closely with our clients from commencement to completion, maximising communication and making their goals and their end-users a priority. We are committed to on-going education and are involved with national and international study tours, seminars, and training courses covering all aspects of architecture to ensure we are at the forefront of the profession.

Industry Affiliations

At KPA, we are proud members of several organisations that enable us to be at the architectural leading edge in WA. Some of these organisations include the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA), Architects Board of Western Australia, Property Council of Australia (WA), Western Australian Leaders, Leading Age Services Australia (LASA), and Family Business.

Family Business

We believe that working in a family business is a joy, where we can help each other learn, develop, and grow. Our team members often comment on the positive family atmosphere of the KPA office, one that larger architectural practices often lack.

Our Purpose

At KPA Architects, we envision a future about community, connection, and empowerment. We believe in creating environments that empower humans, adapt to our needs as we age, help us communicate, and encourage connection in an urbanised world. We call it Community Reimagined. We envision a future where technology, environmental, financial, and social impact are taken into account to create sustainable, functional, and beautiful environments that enhance people's lives.
