Facade design
An architect spends considerable time working out the best design that suits the client and their specific block.
DKO Architecture designs a home that is unique, modern and looks distinctive in any streetscape.
A draftsperson works to a set price, the design is secondary. A modern façade designed by a draftsperson would be an upgrade.
Floorplan
A bespoke design by an architect to match the specific taste, needs, site specifications and budget of their clients.
Arli collaborates with architects at DKO Architecture to cleverly design a home with consideration to flow, circulation, natural light and with no wasted space.
A draftsperson designs for a set price and the spaces are considered based on the build cost not the design and flow.

Colour palettes
An architect works with their client to capture the interior look and feel based on their specific requirements, personality and taste.
The interior colour palettes are carefully curated by an architect and interior designer to work seamlessness together. It’s quick and easy for clients to choose.
Clients have an enormous choice of colours and surfaces but it’s overwhelming with limited time to choose and with no curated themes to help them.
Construction
The construction can be more expensive and take longer due to unknowns and client changes. An innovative architectural design can be more complicated to build.
Construction is quick due to the design consideration for easy accessibility of materials, construction techniques, volume buying capabilities and quality and precise workmanship.
Construction is designed to be built quickly and as cheap as possible to make a profit. The focus is affordability and the look and feel is secondary.
Quality inclusions
An architect chooses quality inclusions to match their client’s style and budget. They choose inclusions to suit the aesthetics of the home and the taste of the client.
Leveraging their expertise the interior designers at DKO Architecture have curated a bespoke range of quality inclusions that suit the architectural aesthetics of the home. The result is a high-end design at an affordable price.
Clients can pick and choose from a large range of inclusions but they don’t know what the end result is going to look like. The experience can be quite overwhelming and difficult with costly upgrades to achieve the look you want.
Display home
No display home is available as each home is designed specifically for the client. This makes it difficult to visualise the spaces and experience the flow, light and liveability.
Each display home provides a real experience and feeling of living in an Arli home. All the premium quality inclusions in the homes are standard with only a few as optional upgrades.
The display homes contain all the upgrade inclusions and it’s difficult to experience what the home will really feel like if a client only wants the standard inclusions in their future home.
Arli considers every detail to make your decisions easier
CLEVER DESIGN
Our clever designs ensure every space has a purpose. For you it may be an extra bedroom for guests and extended family, the configuration of the pantry or master bedroom or simply having a great space for a get-together.
PRACTICAL THINKING
Arli wants your daily life to be easy so we’ve considered the little things that make a difference like built-in storage solutions, low maintenance materials, mud rooms, mirror cabinets and the use of natural light.
AN EYE FOR STYLE
Arli collaborates with expert architects and interior designers who have experience working on high-end luxury projects to bring the same sense of style to your home.
QUALITY PRODUCTS
Arli makes practical choices when it comes to the products we use. Through experience we know it’s important to install quality products for longevity, functionality, usability and with the cost in mind.
SIMPLICITY
Using the principles of design, we create homes which are simple and timeless. Our home designs are streamlined to ensure there’s a good flow throughout your home with no wasted spaces.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Arli’s design considerations and product choices are functional, can handle your everyday use and easy to clean to help you maintain your home for years to come.
Arli’s open and streamlined approach
We understand that building a new home can sometimes feel overwhelming and confusing.
Arli wants to make the process open, streamlined and easy. From the moment we meet, until you’ve settled and comfortable in your new home, we’ll guide you through every step.
