How we create a home build around you.

A one-off for
every one of a kind

We design and build one-off architectural homes throughout New Zealand

Get Inspired

Here’s where you can enjoy some great examples of our house designs, from classic Kiwi-inspired homes with a twist to superb examples of modern architecture.

Why Design Builders

We built our first home in 1992. Now we’re known as New Zealand’s designers and builders of unique award-winning homes.

Our Process

We follow a trusted, proven process. Every step is designed to achieve the best result. We want you to enjoy the journey as much as you’ll love your finished home.

Floor Plans

When it comes to the costings, we keep it all transparent. For a general idea of how far your money goes, take a look at this informative gallery.

Every Design Builders home is unique
