Steelehouse are highly accomplished architects offering great value for money - but more than that - our home has become a place of deep joy, beauty and satisfaction for the whole family. They have an eye for form, materiality and detail that we truly appreciate only now at completion.

About the
Professional

Steelehouse Architecture was formally established in 2010 evolving out of the union of Nathan Steele and Bindi House in the early 2000’s. Nathan’s dedication to quality, unique spatial compositions and lasting client relationships have seen the practice grow to produce a varied portfolio of rewarding projects.  

Steelehouse is small enough to remain responsive, highly engaged and attentive to detail. We maintain strong links with builders, landscapers, tradespeople and suppliers, which is essential to delivering successful results.

We specialise in new houses and renovations. We believe it is a great privilege to help our clients shape their living environments. 

We deliver more than shells of buildings – our team's design and delivery capabilities include architecture, interiors and gardens. 

For us, designing your home is about the long-term and the shorter term. Our architecture considers the bigger picture of longer term growth and change. 

The practice occupies the light-filled Leake Street corner of the Pakenham Street Art Studios in Fremantle. The practice has a subtle street presence in the heritage listed former storehouse emanating from two tall timber framed double hung windows that are always open to catch the breeze. The studio is the antithesis of most commercial office spaces and exposes the sensibilities that Nathan aspires to in architectural production.
