The Builders Cabin - Mangawhai

Utilising transportable pods as bespoke accommodation, DCI transformed these builder grade cabins into a cozy space now fondly named "The Builders Cabin." With some creative DIY efforts, while still achieving a luxurious base while the homeowner awaits the construction of the main dwelling, which will be connected by a landscaped boardwalk.

Byron Bay style Open Kitchen Design

Roadley Ave

A Sunnyhills builders own home.

Standing tall and soaking in sunshine, this project was a delight to be apart-of.

Working from the architectural plans, DCI were able to specify and document almost every design decision ahead of even the first turn of soil. 

A 'Hamptons meets Byron bay' brief, saw us giving this light filled home a cool and casual fit-out for a modern young family.
