UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR BLOCK

When planning a knock down rebuild, one of the biggest advantages is getting to start from scratch and design a home that perfectly suits your block of land. It’s all about making the most of the individual merits of your property. Take Dream Home 9, for example—its corner block allowed us to create multiple access points, which means more flexibility for driveways, better natural light throughout the home, and stunning street appeal from all angles. We’re even adding features like double gates for easy backyard access and a pool tucked neatly to the side of the house. With a knock down rebuild, the possibilities are endless, and it’s your chance to create a dream home that’s truly tailored to your lifestyle and location.

BUILD TO SUIT YOUR SURROUNDS

When building your dream home from scratch, you’ve got the freedom to choose materials that are not only beautiful but totally suited to your location. And when you’re near the coast like Dream Home 9 is, that’s a game-changer!

In Dream Home 9, we made sure to pick materials that can handle everything the beach throws at it—salty air, strong winds, and all. Think sleek, salt-resistant roofing (hello Colorbond!), corrosion-proof fixtures, and durable finishes designed to stand the test of time. With a knock down rebuild, you can tap into the latest weatherproofing tech like the aluminium battens on the garage door, look of real timber but without the ongoing maintenance. Now that’s a win-win!

SUSTAINABILITY, EFFICIENCY AND TECHNOLOGY

When you’re building from scratch, why not go all-in and future-proof your dream home with the latest in sustainability and tech? A knock down rebuild is your golden opportunity to create an energy-efficient, tech-savvy haven that’s not only kind to the planet but also your wallet.

In Dream Home 9, we made sure to incorporate solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and smart home technology (hello, smart surround sound!) to keep things green and gorgeous. The best part? These features don’t just cut down on utility costs—they also make your home more appealing to eco-conscious future homeowners. It’s the perfect blend of style, sustainability, and savvy. Now, that’s a home of the future! 

INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING DONE RIGHT

The problem with so many older homes is that they were designed without entertainment in mind. We’re so much more social these days and even the most clever designer can struggle to improve indoor outdoor connection simply through a reno. A knock down rebuild gave us the complete flexibility to start again and focus on creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. That’s why we included large sliding doors, covered alfresco area, and outdoor kitchen and large louvred windows overlooking the pool. 

This design not only enhances the liveability of your home but also adds value. Whether through balconies, windows or sliding doors all indoor living zones open onto an outdoor area or are connected to the outdoors.

COMPLETE CUSTOMISATION

Here’s the best part about a knockdown rebuild: you get to customise every little detail of your dream home, just like we did with Dream Home 9!  From the floor plan to the design, we tailored everything to perfectly fit the block’s shape, orientation, and its fab location just 500 meters from the beach. 

The real benefit? You get to create a home that’s 100% tailored to your needs and style, without being held back by the quirks of an old structure. So go ahead—design the dream home you’ve always wanted, with no limits and all the freedom!


Ready to make your dream home a reality? A knock down rebuild isn’t just about starting fresh—it’s about creating a space that’s perfectly suited to your needs, style, and location. From seamless indoor-outdoor living to cutting-edge sustainability and complete customisation, the possibilities are endless. So, grab your design hat and let’s turn those big dreams into your dream home. Here’s to new beginnings and building the home you’ve always imagined!
