42 Thurlow Avenue, Nelson Bay.
Completed back in 2022 and still one of our favourite homes to look back on.
Designed to make the most of the elevated position and water views from the main living and entertaining areas, this home was built around light, space and easy indoor-outdoor living.
The mix of clean lines, oversized openings and high ceilings gave the home a modern architectural feel, while the soft coastal palette and warm timber flooring kept it relaxed and inviting throughout.
The kitchen became a real feature of the home too - functional and perfectly positioned to connect with both the living and entertaining spaces.
A timeless coastal home designed for how our clients wanted to live every day 💛

Sun, sea and a home designed to capture every moment of it. ☀️
Sandy Point Road shining on a perfect day - where architecture, landscaping and the waterfront setting come together to create something truly special.
This is what coastal living looks like when every detail is considered ✨

Superstructure complete at 35 Victoria Parade 👊🏻
This concrete structure has been a huge milestone for the Custom Built team. A massive effort all round - Greg, Rob and Nigel will be sleeping a little easier now it’s done!

Sandy Point Road - Kitchen Goals Achieved
Clean lines. Warm textures. Quiet luxury.
The curved timber batten island creates a striking focal point, softened by warm under-lighting and paired beautifully with the natural stone surfaces.
Crisp white cabinetry keeps the space refined and timeless, while the integrated appliances and brushed brass tapware elevate the overall finish. Every detail delivers a kitchen that not only looks exceptional but functions effortlessly for everyday living.
Another custom space, built the Custom Built way.

32 Thurlow Avenue
Designed to dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors, the living spaces embrace light, landscape and effortless flow.
Expansive glass sliding walls open completely to the surrounding gardens, inviting cooling coastal breezes and creating a seamless extension of the home’s entertaining zones.
Polished concrete floors run uninterrupted from inside to out, reinforcing the connection to the natural environment while grounding the space in a calm, contemporary palette.
Layered textures - natural stone, warm timber, soft furnishings and architectural concrete - bring depth and warmth, while carefully framed openings capture greenery from every angle, ensuring the outdoors is always part of the experience.
This is everyday living designed without barriers - open, connected and intentionally crafted to bring the outside in.

TODAY. WE POURED. 💪
After months of intense planning, coordination, problem-solving and more than a few nail-biting moments, everything finally came together exactly as it needed to. These are the days that remind you why you do what you do.
Big pours like this don’t just happen. They’re the result of:
• Relentless preparation
• Trust in your team
• Absolute precision
• And staying on course when the pressure is on
This project has tested us. Pushed timelines. Raised heart rates. But today was proof that when the right people show up, execute, and back each other - magic happens.
Huge respect to everyone involved on site today. This is a milestone moment for Victoria Parade, and one we’re incredibly proud of.

There’s a shift that happens on every project - the moment it stops looking like a site and starts feeling like a home and we’ve officially reached that point with our build at Myan Close.
The structure is defined, the spaces are taking shape, and the vision our clients signed off on is now becoming tangible.
This is where it gets exciting… let’s get it done 👊🏻

Our Foreshore Drive project was created as a split home for two sisters and their families - a design that balances individuality with shared connection.
This second kitchen, by GJ Morgan Kitchens, showcases how thoughtful design can bring both beauty and practicality into everyday living. With a large butler’s pantry, integrated appliances, and stylish storage, it ensures that entertaining and family life flow seamlessly.
Homes like this are a reminder that luxury is not only in the finishes but in the way the spaces work for the people who live in them 🍃
