Designing & building unique, award-winning, quality homes since 1985. Northern NSW to South East QLD. Imagine your dream home. Imagine. The choice is yours

Is it...
A high-tech beach house of glass and steel. A forest retreat with timber floors and deep, cool verandahs. A rustic villa of rendered brick, classy yet casual. A cottage, traditional, with steep pitched roof and high ceilings. Or maybe something altogether different, an exceptional mix of materials creating a Grand Design – high set, with sweeping open spaces capturing breezes and panoramic views, with vaulted ceilings and highlight windows.

Block shopping this spring? 🤔 The block you buy shapes the home you build more than any other decision you'll make.

A little planning before you sign can save you a great deal later. Here are five things to keep top of mind when looking for your patch of paradise:

𝟭. 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Walk the block at 10am and 3pm. A north-facing rear opens up plenty of extra passive design possibilities.

𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹. Depending on your preferred floorplan, a gently sloping block can provide unique opportunities over and above a perfectly flat one. A steep fall opens up split-levels, layered decks and dramatic outlooks.

𝟯. 𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹, 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀. Soil class, easements running through the block, and any bushfire, flood or vegetation overlays all shape your home's footprint. The planning certificate lays all of this out. Ask the agent for a copy early on.

𝟰. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲. Powerlines, streetlights, mature trees on the verge and the height of the neighbour's roof all shape the design you can put on the block, so don't forget to look up!

𝟱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱. Which windows will capture the best view? Where will the afternoon sea breeze sweep in from? Which corner of your block has the potential to hold your best living room?

💡A builder's eye at inspection stage shapes everything that follows. If there's a block you're excited about, send us the address and we'd love to walk it with you. 📩 [email protected]

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗳𝘂𝗹. A well-designed home catches it, channels it, and puts it to work. 💧

The subtropical downpours from October to March give a home a real workout, and a build that's ready for them starts on the drawing board.

🌧️ 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗳𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗲𝘁. Gutters, downpipes and stormwater lines specified for the intensity of a Northern NSW or SEQ storm. The difference is a house that sheds a summer downpour without missing a beat.

💦 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗶𝗻. A slimline tank tucked down the side, or an underground tank on a larger block, plumbed to the laundry, toilets and garden. The rain that falls on your roof does the work of your council water bill through the wettest months of the year.

🌱 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱. Swales, absorption pits and permeable paving keep water on the block, away from the slab and out of the neighbour's yard. On a sloping site this is crucial design work.

🏡 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲. Cladding with good drying detail, subfloor ventilation, flashings that account for wind-driven rain. Small choices that hold a home together through decades of storm seasons.

A water-smart home turns three months of downpours into a valuable resource, and looks better for it too!

If your build is heading into design over spring, we'd love to walk through your block and its water story with you. 📩 [email protected]

Natural light is the one finish every beautiful home shares, and it's decided at the drawing board. ☀️

Great daylight is drawn in from the very first line, and it's one of the choices with the biggest return on how a home feels every day.

☀️ 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁. As spring brings longer days and summer approaches, north-facing living spaces make the most of natural daylight. Where the block allows it, this orientation welcomes light throughout the day with less exposure to the intense afternoon sun from the west.

🪟 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺. Full-height glazing where the view and the aspect make the most of them, generous sill-to-head proportions elsewhere. A window sized to the wall it sits in feels calm and considered.

🏛️ 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀. A double-height void with high windows pulls daylight into the deepest part of the home. It's the move that makes a two-storey home feel bright on the ground floor.

🌤️ 𝗦𝗸𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁𝘀. Velux skylights above a hallway, over a stair, or in an ensuite completely change how those spaces read. Bathroom skylights are having a moment, and rightly so. Drayton Terrace in Mermaid Waters uses one over the main ensuite to lovely effect.

🪞 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀. Pale floors, matt white ceilings and a large mirror opposite a window multiply the light you already have. Small moves, real impact.

Bright rooms come from savvy decisions, made long before even a drop of paint touches the wall.

The spaces around us shape more of our lives than we realise. There's real magic in a home designed to make you feel at ease as soon as you walk through the front door. Here’s how we love to see it unfold:

🌿 𝗔 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹. A landing space at the front door, somewhere to set the keys and the bag down, provides a moment of transition between the outside world and the place you call home.

☀️ 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. There's a reason we all gravitate to the sunniest chair in the house. Daylight lifts mood and settles the body's rhythms, so orienting living spaces to the north and sizing windows generously is one of the most restorative moves a design can make.

🛁 𝗔 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂. A calm main bedroom placed away from the liveliest zones, with soft acoustics, considered lighting and a view outward. A room that truly becomes a retreat to unwind in.

🌱 𝗔 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. A pretty courtyard, mature tree framed in a window, or a strip of native planting outside the kitchen sink brings the outdoors into your day.

🎨 𝗔 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘆𝗲. Warm neutrals, timber, natural stone, plaster. Materials that ask nothing of you and hold up over time.

Small design decisions, chosen with care, add up to a home that feels calm the moment you walk in.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹. Alfresco season is officially open. 🌿

An alfresco space designed as a proper room, changes how a coastal home lives through the warmer months.

☀️ 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲. East for a long morning breakfast in the sun, or shaded from the western afternoon glare. The direction the alfresco faces decides whether you're using it at 4pm in January.

💨 𝗖𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. Two large-diameter fans move more air than four small ones and look far better doing it. Wire the switch beside the sliding door where it’s close at hand.

🍸 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀. A generous servery from the kitchen bench transforms how you host. Drinks and platters pass out, plates and glasses come back in, and the cook can remain the star of the show.

🌧️ 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝘀𝗲. Deep enough eaves to protect the outdoor lounge from summer storms, and cafe blinds or louvres for evenings when the breeze turns cool.

🪑 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. An alfresco room designed around a cosy lounge setting, dining table to seat eight and a barbecue lives beautifully when the proportions are planned in from the start. Measure the furniture you love and draw the room around it.

Consider these five principles at the design stage and alfresco space can deliver even more from your home than you'd expect.

Trends shaping the coast right now: gable rooflines, balconies over the water, battened facades and palettes drawn from the sand. 🏡

There's a distinct look emerging along our stretch of coast, and it's a lovely one to design for.

🏛️ 𝗚𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀. The pitched roof is back in a big way. It gives a facade real presence from the street, opens the ceiling volume inside, and lends itself to raked ceilings, exposed beams and high clerestory glass. Drayton Terrace in Mermaid Waters and our Freda Street project in Ashmore both put it to work.

🌊 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄. Upper-level decks designed to reach out over the block, generous enough to sit and dine on, and oriented to the water where the site allows. A living room outdoors, not an afterthought bolted to the front.

🪵 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀. Vertical timber battens are a signature detail on new coastal builds. They soften large elevations, add rhythm and texture, and frame entryways and window banks with real presence.

🎨 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿. Warm whites, driftwood greys, deep charcoals and the occasional soft sage. Palettes that sit easily against the sky and vegetation, and age gracefully in coastal light.

Every one of these details started with a real design conversation on a real block. Trends look great in a magazine, and they earn their place on a build when the site, the orientation and the client's brief all agree.
