🏡 A Modern Classic with a Lifestyle Feel.

With Linea weatherboard cladding, a pitched roof with two gable ends, and a brick chimney that connects the home to its garden setting, this home blends timeless character with modern comfort.

The triple-car garage, large deck, and seamless flow between indoors and out make it ideal for lifestyle sections or large family sections across Canterbury and beyond.

Originally designed for our own family, it’s stood the test of time—and now it’s ready to inspire yours.

📩 Let’s create something that fits your life just as well, now and into the future.

🏠 Introducing The Bellaney Plan – A design close to our hearts

This home began as a custom family build we designed over a decade ago—and we’ve refined it over the years into a layout that balances flow, space, and everyday liveability.

Now at 289m², it features 4 bedrooms (including a master with ensuite and walk-in robe), a separate office, generous storage, and a triple-car garage.

With a spacious kitchen and dining area at its core, and multiple living spaces and outdoor connections, it’s a design that still feels right, ten years on.

🏠 Introducing The Williams Plan – a smartly designed 3-bedroom home that maximizes space in a compact 193m² floor area.

This plan features two living areas—including an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area that flows seamlessly onto a large deck. In addition, it offers a bathroom, an ensuite with a walk-in robe for the master suite, and a separate powder room.

The pitched roofs not only enhance the home's character but also provide the potential for additional attic storage so that every square meter can be optimally utilized.
