Looking for an architect in Kinglake, Flowerdale, Yea or Alexandra?
Whisker Architecture designs tailored homes and renovations across the Murrindindi Shire that respond to regional lifestyle, bushfire overlays, and the beauty of natural landscapes.
Whether you’re planning a tree-change home, upgrading a family property, or building something new on rural land, we’ll help you create a space that feels grounded, sustainable, and completely yours.
And while we’re based just south of the Divide, Kinglake and surrounds are often quicker for us to reach than suburbs on the other side of Melbourne. That means you benefit from the capability of a metro-based architecture practice – without sacrificing local knowledge or regional responsiveness.
Design That Respects the Land
This region is known for its dense bushland, elevated outlooks, and incredible sense of quiet. Whether you're working with a steep slope or a flat rural site, we design with the landscape, not against it. We consider fire risk, vegetation management, and views in tandem with solar access and comfort – so your home works with the rhythms of the place you’ve chosen to live.
Sustainable Homes for a Changing Climate
Bushfire resilience, energy efficiency, and comfort across seasons are key considerations in the Murrindindi region. We use passive design strategies, double glazing, insulation, and smart detailing to keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer. We’ll also work with you on off-grid or hybrid systems including solar, water tanks, and heat pump technologies – ensuring your home is future-ready.
Designed for Country Living, Without Compromise
Just because you’re outside the city doesn’t mean you need to compromise on design. From large rural homes to more modest and efficient builds, we balance aesthetics with functionality. Our spaces support daily life with mudrooms, generous storage, and warm, liveable interiors – all wrapped in a design language that reflects your values and the landscape around you.
Flexible and Inclusive Design That Lasts
We build homes that support you now and into the future. Whether you’re planning for ageing in place, welcoming extended family, or just want to create a home that adapts to changing needs, we embed flexibility into the layout from day one. The result? A home that still feels right in five, ten, or twenty years’ time.

Render vs Reality
From first concepts to final completion, we pride ourselves on clarity.
These side-by-side comparisons show just how closely our initial design renders align with the built result - a testament to the strength of our communication, coordination, and visualisation tools.
And with each passing year, as rendering technology improves, so too does our ability to present the vision with even greater accuracy and confidence.
