Luxury Home Insurance for Architect-Designed Homes

​

Specialist protection for bespoke, high-value and custom-built luxury residences

​

Architect-designed homes are among the most valuable, complex and irreplaceable properties in Australia. From multi-million-dollar coastal residences to bespoke urban rebuilds, modernist masterpieces and custom-designed family estates — these homes require specialist high-net-worth insurance, not standard retail cover.

​

Luxsure provides bespoke private-client insurance crafted specifically for architect-designed homes with unique engineering, premium materials, complex structures and elevated rebuild costs.

​

Your architect-designed home deserves a policy built with the same precision as its design.

​

Why Architect-Designed Homes Need Specialist Luxury Insurance

​

Architect-designed residences face risk profiles that standard insurers rarely understand — let alone cover properly.

​

Luxsure protects homes that include:

​

1. Unique Architectural Complexity

​

Architect-designed homes often feature:

  • Custom structural engineering

  • Bespoke façades and geometric forms

  • Limited-edition building materials

  • Cantilevers, voids and large spans

  • Curved glass, steel, stone or concrete

  • Complex glazing and premium cladding

  • High-cost staircases, atriums & double-height spaces

​

These features dramatically increase rebuild cost and difficulty.

​

Standard policies cannot accurately insure these homes — but Luxsure can.

​

2. Imported & Premium Materials

​

High-end architect-designed homes commonly include:

  • Imported stone, marble and timber

  • Commercial-grade glazing

  • Custom metalwork

  • Designer fixtures & lighting

  • Smart-home integrations

  • High-end appliances and finishes

​

Replacing these requires access to specialist suppliers, premium contractors and international sourcing — all covered under Luxsure’s private-client policies.

​

3. Elevated Rebuild Values

​

Architectural homes frequently exceed:

  • $3M–$10M for urban properties

  • $5M–$15M for waterfront or coastal properties

  • $10M–$50M+ for ultra-prestige estates

​

Rebuild valuations must be precise — and many standard insurers under-insure by millions.

 

4. High-Value Contents & Interiors

​

Luxsure protects:

  • Designer furniture

  • Custom-made interiors

  • Bespoke cabinetry

  • Integrated technology

  • Fine art, sculptures & installations

  • High-value décor and furnishings

​

These assets must be insured correctly, not grouped into generic contents limits.

​

5. Prestige Lifestyle Exposure

​

Architect-designed homes typically include:

  • Pools, spas & luxury outdoor zones

  • Rooftop terraces

  • Multi-level entertaining spaces

  • Extensive landscaping

  • Guest accommodation

  • Domestic staff or contractors

​

These require broader liability and specialist coverage.
