BUILDING DESIGNER Ellenbrook
Real Architectural Thinking For Ellenbrook Homes
There is a real difference between drafting a Ellenbrook home and designing one. We design with intent. Every room has a reason, every window frames something, every space connects to the next with purpose. It is the kind of thinking that turns a flat floor plan into a home you feel the moment you walk inside.
HOUSE DESIGNERS Ellenbrook
Most Home Plans Miss What Matters Most Daily
Many Ellenbrook plans are drawn, not designed. Rooms get placed to fit the block, windows land wherever the elevation needs them, and no one asks how the spaces actually connect. The home works on paper and disappoints in person. Drafting fills a block. Design makes it sing. The gap between the two is enormous.

The Difference A Considered Process Makes
We bring genuine design thinking to every Ellenbrook home. Before a wall is drawn we work out how you move through the day, where light should fall, how spaces should open and close. The plan that follows has intent behind every decision. That intent is what you feel, even if you cannot name it, when a home just works.

Smooth, stress-free council approval for extensions
We had a fantastic experience working with Alan and Katie from KTR Creations for the design and development approval (DA) of our first-level extension. From the outset, they brought a wealth of creativity, professionalism, and technical expertise to the project. Navigating the Cambridge Council approval process can be challenging, but Alan and Katie handled it with confidence and clarity. Their thoughtful design not only aligned beautifully with the character of our existing home but also addressed all planning requirements seamlessly. They managed the submission and communication with council efficiently, keeping us informed every step of the way. What stood out most was their collaborative approach, Alan listened carefully to our needs and translated them into a design that truly enhances our lifestyle and property value. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine passion for what they do made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We are so grateful for their support and highly recommend KTR Creations to anyone looking to undertake a renovation or extension. Their knowledge of local council requirements and commitment to great design is second to none.

Professional team with great design vision
We have been working with Katie and her team for the past 6 months. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and has great vision. We love the design she has come up with for our renovations and can’t wait to see it brought to life in the coming months.

Practical design for our forever family home
We’re about to build our dream home, our forever home, designed by Katie and her team at KTR Creations. The team have been fantastic to deal with, accommodating all our requests at the design stage and coming up with an amazing layout that will serve our family of 5 for years to come. I know it’s just words but honestly, I can not recommend them enough. Easy to deal with, taking a practical angle towards design and the result, in our case, is simply stunning.

Nailed an impossible brief with warmth
Working with Katie & the KTR team has been a dream. Katie is warm & approachable & completely nailed what I thought was an impossible brief to design our family home’s extension. Their communication has been fantastic from start to finish. Cannot recommend the KTR Creations team more highly!

Exceeded expectations of an experienced builder
We had a fantastic experience working with Katie and the KTR team, on the design of our home. With many years of building experience myself, I had high expectations for the process, and the team exceeded them at every step. Their attention to detail, creative solutions, and ability to bring our vision to life made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, creative and dedicated design team.

Approachable team, no question is too small
Katie and the team are a pleasure to have looking after our design of a for us very special home. They are so approachable and always willing to assist. There is no such thing as a “dumb question”. What a refreshing approach. Highly recommended
Property Friends
Outstanding whole-home renovation
Wow, what can I say. I have been working with Katie and her husband Richard for over 2 years now. We have been renovating the entire home in the suburb Mindarie. We started with an enormous kitchen and then top bathrooms and the balcony BBQ area. Then we moved up to the attic room and made it into an amazing bedroom for my son. Plus completed a theatre room, which we love to relax in. We have just completed the laundry room, looks fantastic, so now on to 2024 and starting the bottom floor. Starting with the bathrooms and kitchenette, and the two ensuites, plus the pool room, then the garage and storerooms. So as you can read above, the description of what we are doing, we are excited to finish and live in our newly renovated home. I highly recommend KTR Creations. They are very personal and engaging in every aspect. I never feel like I’m left guessing. Katie presents a draft, drawing of every room, then we meet and then we confirm. Katie is outstanding in her creations of the designing of each room, and her husband Richard who builds all my cabinetry and fits it and does the final finish. Christine Butterfield of Mindarie

CUSTOM BUILDERS Ellenbrook
Fully Custom Homes With Real Design Intent
A custom Ellenbrook home is a chance to design with real intent, not assemble rooms from a kit. We think about sequence, proportion, light and connection from the first sketch. Every move is deliberate. The result is a home that feels considered in a way volume builder plans never quite manage to achieve.
SINGLE STOREY HOME DESIGNS Ellenbrook
Single Storey Design With Architectural Rigour
A single storey Ellenbrook home rewards real design thinking. With everything on one plane, the way spaces flow and light moves becomes the whole experience. We design the connections, the sightlines and the transitions deliberately, so the home feels generous and calm rather than a series of rooms off a corridor.
Why Choose KTR Creations?
Independent, On Your Side
KTR Creations is not owned by a builder and does not run a builder’s sales process. Our advice answers to you, your block, your budget and the home you want to create.
Design Before Builder Commitment
Your home is designed before you are locked into a builder’s standard plan, inclusions or sales process. This gives you more control from the start.
Full Plan Ownership
You retain ownership of your design. Where appropriate, we can provide native DWG files and a copyright release statement, giving you more flexibility over what happens next.
Builder Quotes You Can Actually Compare
Multiple builders can price the same plans and specifications. Instead of comparing vague sales quotes or different inclusions, you can compare the same home on a clearer basis.
Budget Tested Earlier
Preliminary builder pricing at concept stage helps you understand the likely build cost before detailed documentation begins. That means the design and budget can be refined together.
Designed Around Your Life
Your home is shaped around your family, lifestyle, block and budget. It is not a standard plan with minor changes.
Approvals and Documentation Handled
We help manage the planning, council, engineering, energy and permit documentation needed to move your project forward.
More Than 16 Years of Experience
KTR Creations has spent more than 16 years designing Australian homes, from family homes and renovations to unit developments and investment properties.
DOUBLE STOREY HOMES Ellenbrook
Multi Storey Design With Architectural Rigour
A two storey Ellenbrook home is a three dimensional design problem, and we treat it as one. The stair becomes a feature, the void carries light down, the upper floor reads as intentional. Real architectural thinking is what stops the upstairs feeling like an afterthought stacked on top of the living areas.
BUILDING EXTENSIONS Ellenbrook
Extensions With Real Architectural Thought
An extension is a design problem, not just extra floor area. On your Ellenbrook home we think about how the new space changes the whole house, how light and flow shift, what the original home was trying to be. Real design thinking turns an addition into an improvement to the entire home, not just a bigger one.
Take the First Step Toward Your Perfect Design
UNIT DEVELOPMENT Ellenbrook
Unit Developments With Architectural Rigour
We bring genuine design thinking to Ellenbrook unit developments, not just a yield calculation. How each dwelling catches light, how the entries feel, how the development sits in the street. That thinking lifts the whole project, holds its value through the cycle, and makes the difference buyers and tenants notice.
NARROW LOT HOMES Ellenbrook
Small Lot Design With Architectural Rigour
A small Ellenbrook block is the ultimate test of design thinking. With no room to waste, every decision has to earn its place. We borrow ideas from boat and small house design, using section, light and proportion to make tight footprints feel open. It is design at its most disciplined, and its most rewarding.
