WHERE LUXURY MEETS PERFORMANCE

Our design philosophy is deeply rooted in a thoughtful appreciation of the five elements and their profound influence on both our creative process and the experiences of our customers. We are dedicated to crafting homes that embody a harmonious balance between nature’s elements, always with a mindful eye towards environmental sustainability. This approach guides us to create spaces that resonate with natural beauty and conscientious living.

Earth symbolises our profound connection to nature, embodying the principles of grounding, balance and harmony within and around our homes. It represents an integrated living experience that respects the symbiotic relationship between the built environment and the natural world, ensuring that our spaces are not only our homes, but also actively contribute to the well-being of the ecosystem.

Fire epitomises passion, warmth, and the dynamic energy that fuels our existence. It represents an intangible glow—a luminous essence that is felt deeply within, even when not always visible. This elemental force symbolises the vibrant spirit and the invigorating warmth that animate our lives and spaces, creating environments that resonate with passion and vitality. Water embodies the essence of fluidity, offering an immersion into tranquility and serenity that fosters profound clarity. It symbolises a seamless flow, evoking a state of peace and ease that permeates our being and environments, guiding us towards a deeper understanding and harmony within our spaces

Air represents the vital breath that circulates ambiance and vitality throughout our surroundings. It is the essence of freshness and balance that sustains life, infusing our spaces with a sense of dynamism and harmony that nurtures the soul and invigorates the spirit.

Space is the boundless domain that encompasses and cradles all elements, serving as the foundation upon which they coexist and interact. It is a realm of infinite potential and vast expansiveness, offering a canvas for the interaction of the elements and the myriad possibilities they bring to our existence.

ROMANTICISE THE DESIGN PROCESS

At Elements Design & Build, we understand the significance of every custom home design, leaving no detail unexplored in the journey to create your dream space.

Envisioning the spaces we are creating is one of the most exciting parts of the building process. Through our commitment to excellence, we utilise high-quality renderings to refine and elevate the design process, ensuring that every aspect of your envisioned home is meticulously crafted to perfection.

With our comprehensive suite of visual tools, including 3D images, walk-through videos, and layout previews, you can immerse yourself in the envisioned spaces long before construction begins. This proces becomes a canvas where imagination meets reality. The design is no longer confined to sketches or blueprints but emerges as a vibrant, three-dimensional masterpiece. It’s a process that transcends the mundane, transforming abstract ideas into tangible forms that stir emotions and ignite inspiration.

Guiding you through this transformative journey are our team of seasoned virtual reality experts and 3D visualisers, who bring unparalleled expertise to the design development stage, ensuring that your vision is realised with precision and sophistication.

This multidisciplinary approach ensures a cohesive and harmonious design that integrates the interior and exterior environments seamlessly. Our experts assist you in selecting colours, materials, and textures that not only complement but also elevate the overall design concept of your residence. This holistic method allows us to create spaces that are not only visually appealing but also perfectly aligned with your personal style and preferences.

BIG PLANS

Conceptualise the unbuilt, immerse yourself in every space, and gain a full understanding of size and scale – before building commences.

Big Plans integrated projection, augmented and virtual reality technology allows you to take a full scale 1:1 walk through of your floorplan, to experience each room, make the changes you want, and move forward with confidence.

The benefit for you? The peace of mind knowing your plans are exactly how you want them to be. And, avoiding the costly fallout of changing them later.

WALK THROUGH YOUR FUTURE HOME

YOUR JOURNEY TO BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME

Come into our office to discuss your ideas and vision. Additionally, we invite you to view one of our spec homes to get an understanding of the caliber of craftsmanship and innovation we embody in our projects.

We start with a consultation led by our designers, to explore the possibilities and opportunities your site has to offer. We endeavour to build a home for you crafted with meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful consideration.

Once we have finalised the preliminary design layout, we visit the BIG PLANS facility with you to see how the house feels at actual scale - 1:1. This is our opportunity to tweek the design where required to improve the practicality of the layout.

Drawing upon the layout, site conditions, and your desired specifications, we create a pricing proposal. This proposal is thoughtfully elaborated, ensuring that every aspect of your requirements is carefully considered.

Once the design is finalised, our team of interior designers help creatine the masterpiece you envision as home. This includes understanding your desired aesthetic & tailoring suggestions to harmonise with your preferred style.

Once all the details are finalised, we prepare contracts for your signing. After this, our permit processing team starts gathering all the paperwork for the statutory approvals and structural engineering. Once the permits are received, the build process can then start.
