Your home, built in five stages

An empty, freshly mown plot of grass framed by coconut palms, with a forested granite hill and a turquoise lagoon behind. Wooden pegs and an orange string mark out where the house will stand.

Design and build studio

We design and build your home from bare land.

One team from an empty plot to the keys in your hand: drawings, permits, foundations, walls, glass, light and garden.

Handover, day one of living

This could be your plot.

Tell us about the land and the home you have in mind. We take it from grass to keys.

Start your buildSee how you'd follow it

Scrolling plays the film: on an empty plot framed by palms, the house is first sketched in white lines on the grass over the pegs, then the ground is dug and the slab poured, columns and the roof rise, the walls are built and rendered, glass, doors and timber screens go in, and finally the garden is planted and the lights come on at dusk. From grass to keys.

After: the same view at dusk on handover night. The finished single storey house glows from every window, with a planted garden and a lit stone path to the front door.
Before: the empty plot on day one. Freshly mown grass framed by coconut palms, a forested granite hill and a turquoise lagoon behind, pegs and string marking where the house will go.

Before and after

From empty land to a finished home.

The same plot, the same palms, the same view. On the left, day one. On the right, the night we hand over the keys.
