Expertise in Northern Beaches custom home Design and Build
MILEHAM is a high-end boutique residential Architect and custom home builder based in Freshwater, in Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches. Our projects range from major home renovations (additions, extensions, internal renovations) to knock down rebuilds, undertaken by the watchful eye of our award winning architecture and construction team.

Our reach within the Northern Beaches suburbs of Sydney spans from Freshwater, Seaforth, Balgowlah, North Balgowlah, Manly, North Manly, Curl Curl, North Curl Curl, Collaroy and Narrabeen, all the way through to Newport, Bilgola, Avalon, Whale Beach and Palm Beach.
Our Founder, Director and Principal Architect James Pilcher (also a Licensed Builder), lives in the Northern Beaches with his experience of the area going back to his childhood. James designs each architectural concept, embedding his knowledge of construction cost into each Design Stage. This approach ensures every design has a true respect and practical application for a client’s construction budget.
With each design concept James also takes into consideration the region’s unique beauty, ethos, environmental personality, and suitable architectural styles, as well as the specific planning controls set by the Northern Beaches Council (DA) or local complying development (CDC) guidelines. With the broader architecture team’s extensive knowledge and experience, MILEHAM creates designs that embrace The Beaches’ charm and capture the essence of beachside living. MILEHAM’s architectural solutions enhance the unique features of the Northern Beaches, resulting in homes that harmonise with the stunning coastal landscape.
