We’re in the business of creating homes

Your home is made to be lived in and enjoyed. A place you can relax, knowing that your needs are put first.

A knockdown rebuild provides reassurance on the health of your home, which is hard to come by with a strenuous renovation.

With a clean slate, your new build eliminates the need to worry extensively about what hides beneath, such as mould and asbestos.

With light, fresh air, and a connection to the Northern Beaches landscape, we can ensure your new home is healthy, with every element designed to deliver the best possible outcome.

Pause and enjoy every moment; a knockdown rebuild puts your health first

Natural light

Connection with the outdoors and natural light elevates the mood of any home. Harnessing this light plays an important role in the design process of your knockdown rebuild.

The orientation of your build is strategic, capturing every possible ray, as well as the glazing, positioning and size of your windows.

Large windows, louvres, light voids, skylights, highlight windows and sliding or bi-fold doors all play their roles in creating a feeling of peace and space.

Fresh air

Fresh air moving through your home brings a sense of vibrancy unlike any other.

It’s free, renewable, and brings with it the feeling of the coast and surrounds of the Northern Beaches.

In contrast, a dark and damp home has poor air quality, which negatively impacts the physical and mental health of your family.

Your new build is purposefully designed to capture cross-flow ventilation, literally breathing life into the air of your home.

Thermal efficiency

Sit comfortably in the perfect temperature, one that’s not too hot or too cold.

Your home’s temperature is adaptable, achieved with energy efficiency through the use of insulation, natural light, fresh air, and glazing.

Thermal efficiency is about balance and comfort in your living spaces, partnered with energy savings and a reduction of greenhouse emissions.

Asbestos removal

From the 1940s to the 1980s, asbestos was a commonly used building material. It’s found in older homes, commonly in weatherboards, cement roofing, eaves linings, bathroom linings, and insulation.

The dust from the fibres of this material, if breathed in, is a health risk. For this reason, the removal of asbestos must be undertaken by a licensed removalist.

Prior renovations can leave asbestos in landfills on properties, and as knockdown rebuilds are mostly older homes, the risk of asbestos being present is high.

Working from home

Gone are the days when the 9-5 office role and commute were a given. Working from home has been embraced by many people, and the benefits of saving time, travel costs, and flexibility are undeniable.

Just as importantly, a space that’s dedicated to your work, separate from the rest of your home, allows you to close the the door at the end of the day and switch off.

Your home spaces are created with function in mind, including a smart-wired home office that can be used for work or a separate study for the kids.

Mould eradication

Condensation is a common cause of mould in homes, largely due to the lack of good ventilation.

Long-term exposure and inhalation of mould spores are related to inflamed airways and reduced lung function, and can irritate chronic health conditions such as asthma.

Fresh air from carefully designed cross-flow ventilation, even in low-lying or flood-prone areas, eliminates the health risk of mould in your home.
