25 Grigor Street, Moffat Beach
One of our favourite beach shacks ever!!!! Collaborating closely with our client / mate Jon, we set out to deliver a truly unique home on a highly constrained site of just 405m2. With a brief to make the structural elements of the home the "Hero" of the design, we set about exposing all of the structural blocks internally and externally along with the suspended slabs to give this home it's identity. With passive design principles and the use of thermal massing elements within the home, we were able to deliver an energy efficient and comfortable house to live in all year round. We were able to experiment with the colour palette and deliver a fusion of Beach Home combined with Modern Industrial architecture. What has resulted is something we are very proud of! Congratulations to Jonny and the amazing Meuleners family on their new home. What a build mate, tip of the hat to you for taking it on. And a special mention to Brooke from Team DCM for her efforts on this one. A big shout out to the blockies @Parfosbrick &block for their tradesmanship on this project.

Affordable Housing - Townhouse Infill development in Urban Areas.
If South East Queensland is to grow sustainably, building designers must champion smarter density—working closely with planners, developers, and councils to deliver infill townhouses that are affordable to build, beautiful to live in, and respectful of existing neighbourhoods. These projects aren’t just about housing numbers; they’re about giving more Queenslanders access to a quality home in the places they love for a feasible price point.
DCM Building Design is focusing on this mode of development as a priority moving forward for our multi residential projects in 2026 and beyond. Affordable townhouses, well-designed and well-placed, can become the foundation of a more inclusive, resilient, and liveable SEQ. We are actively designing these modes of development from the Gold Coast, Brisbane greater region, Sunshine Coast all the way up to Fraser Coast.

Winner: New Multi-Residential Project up to and including 3 Storeys – Arches on Saleng by DCM Building Design
�Congratulations to DCM Building Design for Arches on Saleng - a premium duplex development that delivers a distinctive architectural presence in a sought-after beachside location.
Designed with a strong focus on innovation and spatial efficiency, the residences offer open-plan living enhanced by high-end finishes and a carefully considered level of specification throughout. The project’s defining design motif - the arch - is expressed both externally and internally, creating a cohesive architectural language that gives the development a memorable identity within the suburb.
Concrete construction paired with a customised Spanish-inspired textured render provides depth and character to the façade, while full-length cantilevered planter beds support the project’s signature arch screens. These suspended elements introduce greenery and movement, with textured surfaces catching light and shadow throughout the day to further enhance the visual impact.
The result is a refined multi-residential project that blends architectural expression, quality craftsmanship and thoughtful planning to create a truly standout coastal development.
