 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nupur Tomar and her husband Vipul Patel made the entire planning and execution of our project seamless and stress free. From the beginning ,we felt supported and understood in what we wanted to achieve; from our boutique dental practice to a beautiful and practical home to entertain our large extended family of varying age groups. Being keen to use our available space with as little disruption to the environment as possible, we managed to keep most of our beautiful trees with the result that we have a beautiful garden with lots of birds! We found Nupur and Vipul a very easy going and open team, listening to our ideas while dealing knowledgeably with a very challenging site and a very environmentally conscious local council! Thanks to Vaastu Architects and our builder Siva( Instep Designer Homes) our project was completed on time and within budget and we are happy to say that our house still looks brand new!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience working with Nupur on the design of our French Provincial home. This was a high-end investment project for us, and she understood the brief from the start. Nupur used her imagination to create a design that feels elegant, luxurious, and well-balanced, while still being practical and market-ready. Her attention to detail, especially around the façade, mouldings, and proportions, really brought the French Provincial style to life. She was very patient and accommodating throughout the process, making multiple revisions until we were fully satisfied. That level of commitment made a big difference to the final outcome. She was also very collaborative, working closely with our builder and staying open to discussions to ensure everything aligned and translated smoothly into the final drawings. Overall, very professional, creative, and easy to work with. We’re really happy with the outcome and confident the design will stand out in the market. Highly recommend Nupur

Let’s Start your Design Journey

We Do Not Design Houses. We Shape Future Legacy.

The world’s finest homes are not remembered for trends.

They are remembered for presence, proportion, emotion and the way they elevate everyday life for generations.

At Vaastu Atelier, luxury home design is shaped through planning intelligence, spatial psychology, natural light, refined proportion, landscape connection and sophisticated family living — creating homes that feel globally refined, deeply personal and timeless.

Every design decision is considered to create grand arrival, effortless entertaining, emotional calm, long-term liveability and enduring property value.

This philosophy defines the French Provincial mansions, contemporary luxury homes and prestige developments we create across Melbourne’s most sought-after suburbs.

Why Extraordinary Homes Begin With Intelligent Design?

Beauty With Planning Intelligence

Exceptional design is not only what the eye sees. It is how a home responds to land, light, council controls, neighbourhood character, ResCode, overlays, access, landscaping, parking, buildability and long-term value.

Vaastu Atelier integrates design vision with town planning strategy from the beginning — creating luxury homes and developments that are visually refined, deeply liveable and strategically positioned for stronger approval outcomes across Melbourne.

Homes Designed Around The Way Life Is Truly Lived

Luxury is not measured by size alone. It is measured by how effortlessly a home supports family, privacy, entertaining, wellness, movement, natural light and everyday comfort.

Every Vaastu home is shaped around lifestyle psychology — creating spaces that feel grand yet calm, elegant yet practical, private yet perfect for family gatherings and generous entertaining.

Timeless Design Beyond Trends

The finest homes do not chase fashion. They are shaped through proportion, restraint, material integrity, spatial flow and lasting emotional presence.

Whether designing French Provincial mansions, contemporary luxury homes or prestige developments, Vaastu Atelier creates residences intended to feel sophisticated today and enduring for generations.

Development Intelligence From Day One

For landowners, investors and developers, design must also protect feasibility, construction clarity, market appeal, resale value and long-term development performance.

Vaastu Atelier brings together luxury design thinking, planning intelligence and development awareness — creating homes and projects that balance beauty, buildability, approval strategy and enduring property value across Melbourne.

Globally Inspired Luxury Living — Refined For Melbourne

Vaastu Atelier creates luxury homes and developments shaped by timeless European elegance, contemporary global design influences and refined resort-style living.

Our work brings together French Provincial grandeur, modern classical refinement, contemporary luxury design, sophisticated materiality and wellness-focused spatial planning — creating residences that feel timeless, emotionally rich and deeply connected to modern family living.

Each project is carefully designed around natural light, spatial flow, landscape integration, lifestyle functionality and long-term property value, while responding intelligently to Melbourne’s climate, planning conditions, neighbourhood character and prestige residential context.

The result is globally refined design with a distinctly Melbourne point of view — elegant, intelligent and created for enduring luxury living.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Vaastu Atelier specialise in?

Vaastu Atelier specialises in luxury home design, French Provincial homes, contemporary residences, knockdown rebuilds, dual occupancy projects, townhouse developments, boutique apartments and premium property development design across Melbourne.

Who can design a luxury custom home in Melbourne?

Vaastu Atelier designs bespoke luxury homes across Melbourne, combining refined design, town planning knowledge, lifestyle planning, consultant coordination and detailed documentation.

Do I need an architect, building designer or draftsperson for my project?

For a premium home or development, you need more than basic drafting. Vaastu Atelier provides design-led building design, planning strategy and detailed documentation to guide your project from concept to approval and construction.

What is the difference between planning permit and building permit in Victoria?

A planning permit deals with land use, neighbourhood character, overlays, setbacks and council approval. A building permit deals with construction compliance, safety and technical building regulations. In many projects, planning approval comes first. Consumer Affairs Victoria also notes that homeowners remain responsible for ensuring required permits are obtained.

Can Vaastu Atelier help with town planning approval?

Yes. Vaastu Atelier prepares planning drawings, council submissions, Clause 55 / ResCode responses, consultant coordination, RFI responses and endorsement documentation for Melbourne residential and development projects.

Can you help before I buy land or a property?

Yes. Vaastu Atelier can review a property’s zoning, overlays, development potential, constraints, access, orientation and likely approval pathway before you commit to purchase.

Can you maximise the development potential of my land?

Yes. Vaastu Atelier assesses setbacks, overlays, car parking, landscaping, site access, private open space, market appeal and buildability to help identify the strongest development outcome.

Can you design a knockdown rebuild home in Melbourne?

Yes. Vaastu Atelier helps with site assessment, design strategy, planning requirements, bespoke home design, consultant coordination and builder-ready documentation for knockdown rebuild projects.

Should I renovate, extend or knock down and rebuild?

This depends on the existing structure, heritage controls, site value, budget, planning restrictions and your lifestyle goals. Melbourne owners commonly compare renovation, knockdown rebuild, dual occupancy and subdivision before choosing a path.

How much do architectural or design services cost in Melbourne?

Fees vary depending on project size, complexity, documentation level and planning difficulty. Melbourne residential design fees are commonly discussed as either fixed-stage fees or a percentage of construction cost, with higher-end bespoke homes requiring more detailed design and coordination.
