Pleysier Perkins Mini Homes delivers high-quality architecture to your garden in Melbourne and beyond.
We offer pre-designed Models and Custom Designs, with a service that is purposefully flexible, to suit all requirements.
The Models are cost effective and time efficient, while our Custom Design service suits more complex and unique projects. Either way, we will consider your site and brief before confirming the optimum design solution and construction methodology.
Our architects, Pleysier Perkins, have over twenty years’ experience in residential and prefabricated architecture. In partnership with our longstanding prefabricators and contractors, we design and deliver your ideal mini home in a seamless, four-stage process.

Designed for the Airbnb market, this A-frame concept features cathedral ceilings leveraging scenic country views. A bathroom and kitchen pod sits under the mezzanine bedroom, accessed via a spiral staircase. Utilising natural, robust materials, exposed steel beams offer structural expression while plywood walls and floors add warmth.
This Custom Design provides a flexible studio/sleepout with ensuite and an adjacent terrace for parking and outdoor entertaining. Raw, robust materials including recycled bricks and concrete reflect the laneway vernacular, while the green roof adds a lush view from the main house.
Please send your questionnaire (via ‘Discuss your project with us’) and we’ll review your property information and conduct a desktop feasibility study, based on the information provided.
You will then receive an email explaining our advice with the opportunity for an online meeting to further discuss the design/s and cost estimate/s.
We’ll also advise on our proposed building methodology and appropriate contractor for your project.
Finally, if you’d like to proceed we’ll provide a Fee Agreement to complete your Mini Home design & documentation (refer Stages 2 & 3).
Upon procurement of a land survey, we’ll confirm siting and present your Mini Home design and building quote for your approval.
Design documentation includes plans, a 3D model, and selections schedules outlining all materials, windows, interior finishes, fixtures, fittings and equipment.
With your approval we’ll proceed to Stage 3.
Our team will complete the building documentation and coordinate the inclusion of all consultants' documentation (including engineering and arborists report if required) for procurement of the Building Permit (from our licensed Building Surveyor) and Building Contract.
Our builder partner will then provide you with the Building Contract for approval, so they can start on site!
Our builder will prepare your site and services for the installation or on-site construction of your Mini Home.
Once complete, we’ll arrange certification and hand over the keys!
Please advise if you would like to discuss landscaping works with Pleysier Perkins to ensure a seamless integration with your garden!
