Custom design

Just like the clothes you wear or the car you drive, your home should reflect your style and tastes.

We all need the same basic rooms in our homes. How we use them can vary dramatically. Your home should work for you. 

Rain, hail, frost, snow, cold winds or scorching sunshine, your new home should be a pleasure to live in all year round without the need for constant heating and cooling.

We always start with a blank sheet of paper because everyone's needs are unique.

We listen to you so that your home design suits your Brief, your Site, your Budget and your Lifestyle.

We use the latest modelling software to assess and test your design.

We adjust and optimise your design to find the sweet spot between cost and performance.
 

A high star rating on paper is great. Did you know most new homes in Australia are not being built to the required tightness to achieve that star rating. A simple blower door test can confirm your home will perform as intended.

To start the process we meet at your home to get to know you and your project goals. We discuss the best options and approach to accomplish them.

Based on our discussions of your Brief, your Site, your Budget and your Lifestyle, we start the design process and assessment of your new home.

Working with you step by step to finalise every aspect of your new home.

With plans finalised and on budget we seek the required approvals from local councils and/or certifiers so we can begin the building process.

A detailed set of plans and documents are provided with all approvals, schedules, selections and specifications complete.
