New Resident

New Resident is the (r)evolution of award-winning, cult-followed feminist architecture practice, Whispering Smith. Based in Fremantle, Western Australia, its projects have been featured in ArchDaily, the Design Files, Domus, Habitus, ArchitectureAU, Houses Magazine and DesignBoom. New Resident sees ‘business as usual’ as the enemy. The old way (traditional house and land packages) will see more than 50% of Perth’s urban tree canopy destroyed, hundreds of thousands of local character homes demolished and millions of tonnes of embodied CO2 dumped in landfill. They need not. New Resident is upending the WA property market with affordable, architect-designed homes built with the resident, neighbourhood and planet in mind. Out with the old, in with the New.
