Georgian Home Designs in Perth
A Georgian home design is a symmetrical, two-storey style rooted in 18th-century British architecture, defined by classical proportions, sash windows and refined detailing.
The enduring appeal of Georgian architecture
Georgian architecture has stayed in fashion for more than two centuries because it is built on balance, symmetry and classical proportion.
The England of the Georgian era holds a vivid place in our imaginations. From Jane Eyre to Pride and Prejudice, it’s easy to be transported to a bygone era, travelling by horse and coach along the narrow roads of the English countryside, or through the noise and excitement of London, the wealthiest city in the world.
Georgian home designs by Oswald Homes in Perth
Georgian design has held its appeal for close to three centuries, built on strict symmetry, formal proportion and a grand, centred entry.
At Oswald Homes we reimagine those principles for the way we live in Perth today. Our Georgian Edition keeps the defining symmetry and the grand entry, then trades bold red brick for softer rendered hues that sit beautifully in the local light. Ornate detailing, marble surfaces and classic finishes carry the formality through the interior.
Every Georgian Edition is custom-built to your block, your orientation and the way your family lives, with more than 50 years of design and building behind it.

Georgian exterior designs
A Georgian exterior is defined by its symmetry: two storeys, a full-width upper floor, evenly spaced windows and a grand, centred entry.
A grand entry welcomes you to our Georgian Edition. Two storeys, with a full-width upper floor, that keep the defining symmetry of their forebears. The bold red brick is replaced by softer hues, but these homes still make a confident statement with manicured gardens and formal approaches.
Georgian interiors and detailing
Inside, Georgian style is all about considered detail, with ornate cornices, skirtings and wall trims setting the stage for bold, luxurious finishes.
Ornate detailing inside – cornices, skirtings, wall trims – allows for bold and luxurious design choices. Marble surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms contrast ideally with crisp whites, feature wallpapers, parquetry or checkerboard flooring, and luxurious metallic handles and trims. Throw in a Chesterfield or two, and there’s still room for classic, modern finishes to complete your design.
