By Design Builders
With its narrow sloping site, this three-bedroom beach retreat is a stellar example of creativity and craftmanship. To deliver on the homeowners’ brief, while maximising site coverage, two side-by-side pods were created, slightly stepped down from each other and cleverly linked by a breezeway.
With a compact 112sqm floorplan, careful use of space was a priority. This has been skilfully achieved with high raking ceilings over the open-plan kitchen and living area and stacking glass doors to create a light and open atmosphere. An inbuilt corner seat framed by large windows provides extra dining space or a sunny spot for weekend reading.

Design Builders create superb one-off homes for our clients, we’ve been doing this for 30 years and along the way we’ve won well over 100 Registered Master Builders House of The Year Awards, including Regional Gold Awards, Best in Category and many more.
Our company’s foundations were laid by our founder, Andy Bell, back in 1992 when we built a new home for our very first client.
We’ve come a long way since then, we’ve grown in size and reputation, yet like anything that’s built to last, we’ve stuck to our original vision and values. We offer New Zealanders something unique – instead of catalogues, templates or pre-existing designs we design and build superb unique homes that express the owner’s personality; a home inspired by the people who will live in it and love it. We call it ‘A home built around you’.
No existing plans, templates, or catalogues. We work with you to create a unique home designed & built just for you, inspired by you.
You might think that a home designed and built the way you want is out of reach. With Design Builders, you can afford to think differently. Our process is built around you, including your budget. Let’s talk.
