Humphrey Homes - Our Team 1

DEAN
HUMPHREY

OWNER AND DIRECTOR

Dean’s love of architecture and building was ignited at the age of 20, when he built his own home in Kalgoorlie. This passion led him to establish his own building company, Humphrey Homes, in 1999.

In 2012, he took the innovative step of transitioning Humphrey Homes into a registered architectural practice too, to offer clients a more holistic approach to creating their forever home.

This ethos of ‘constant improvement,’ sees him travel overseas regularly to seek out the latest design and building innovations and how they can be applied locally.

In addition to helming Humphrey Homes, Dean is a respected leader within the building industry and served as President (2021-2023) and Vice President (2019-21) of the Housing Industry Association (HIA) WA and was Chair of the HIA WA Technical Services Committee.

HELEN
MARCHESANI

ARCHITECT

Helen strongly believes a home should reflect the client, not the architect. When designing your home, she’ll take the time to get to know you and how you like to live; your home will be a beautifully resolved expression of your personality and lifestyle. This approach means our architecture is as diverse as our clients. However, you’ll see common themes throughout – Helen’s designs always prioritise natural light and ventilation.

Helen heads Humphrey Homes’ design team and has worked in residential architecture for over 30 years, having focused on high-end single residential for most of that time.

She is registered with the Architects Board of Western Australia and is a member of the Australian Institute of Architects. She regularly assists the Board by examining those new to the field. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture with honours from Curtin University.

KATIE
BOSSONG

INTERIOR DESIGNER

Katie inherited her love of architecture and design from her parents, who were serial renovators. She grew up in the South-West, and from an early age knew interior design was her path. In 2012, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Architecture from Curtin University.

She managed her own successful interior design studio for six years before joining Humphrey Homes in 2020.

Katie believes good design can be life changing. She loves getting to know clients on a personal level and cultivating ideas and solutions that best highlight how they like to live.

Her great industry contacts enable her to source products to create homes that are totally unique to our clients.

KESTRYN
CHALONER

INTERIOR DESIGNER

Kestryn’s father is a builder and she grew up on construction sites. She even knows how to lay bricks! She was fascinated by what he did and wanted to do it too – interior design was a natural fit.

She completed her Interior Design studies in 2007 and has been helping clients translate their personalities into their interiors ever since.

Kestryn believes every home should be as unique as the people who live there – she takes the time to really get to know clients, what they love, how they live and what it is that is important to them.

Kestryn joined Humphrey Homes in 2023, bringing with her deep experience in all areas of residential interior design and construction.
