BUILDING DESIGNER Sorrento
Sorrento Homes Built To Perform For Decades
A Sorrento home should perform as well in twenty years as it does on handover day. We design for the long game. Orientation that works with the Perth sun, materials chosen for longevity, detailing that handles our climate. The result is a home that stays comfortable, efficient and solid well beyond the build itself.
HOUSE DESIGNERS Sorrento
Why So Many New Builds Disappoint Later On
Plenty of Sorrento homes look great on handover and struggle within years. West facing glass with no eaves, poor cross ventilation, thin insulation, basic fittings in high use spots. The problems are baked in at design stage, invisible in the photos, and expensive to fix once you are living with them every day.
BUILDING DESIGNERS Sorrento
How We Get Your Home Right The First Time
We design your Sorrento home to perform from day one and keep performing. Orientation mapped to the sun, eaves sized to shade summer glass, cross flow ventilation planned, durable materials specified where they matter. These decisions cost nothing extra at design stage and save you comfort and money for decades.

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

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

DOUBLE STOREY HOMES Sorrento
Multi Storey Homes Built To Perform For Years
A two storey Sorrento home has its own performance challenges, from upstairs heat to acoustic separation. We design for them deliberately, with shading, ventilation paths and insulation planned floor by floor. The home performs across both levels, stays comfortable in every season, and holds up structurally for decades.
BUILDING EXTENSIONS Sorrento
Extensions Built To Perform For Many Decades
A good extension should perform as well as a new build. On your Sorrento home we design the addition with proper orientation, shading and insulation, not just matching brick. The new space is comfortable and efficient, the join is detailed to last, and the whole home performs better than it did before the work began.

UNIT DEVELOPMENT Sorrento
Unit Designs Built To Perform For Decades
Units that perform poorly cost their owners for decades, in vacancies, complaints and repairs. We design Sorrento developments with real orientation, ventilation, acoustic separation and durable materials. The dwellings stay comfortable and easy to maintain, which keeps them leased, keeps tenants happy and protects your return.
NARROW LOT HOMES Sorrento
Small Lot Homes Built To Perform For Years
Performance is harder to achieve on a tight Sorrento block, which is exactly why it matters. We pull light and air through narrow homes with voids, courtyards and considered glazing, and specify materials that last. The result is a compact home that stays comfortable and efficient long after the build is done.
