SWELL / Dover Heights / Completed 2026
01 / The proposition
A custom home starts with how you want to live: the rooms you use together, the privacy you need and how the house opens to light and outdoor space. The block's orientation, levels, access and neighbours shape how those ideas can be built.
SHORE brings architectural design, interiors and construction into one agreed scope. If you already have an architect, we can join the project to discuss construction. The design responsibilities and the work still to be resolved are established at the beginning.

Denham Court, NSW
Completed 2021
A seven-bedroom estate on five acres, designed and built by SHORE. French Provincial and Mediterranean influences shape the home, with a rendered facade, classical stone detailing, arched windows and timber joinery carried through the design.
Beverly Hills
Completed 2026
A five-bedroom home with curved white brick forms and a double-height void bringing light into the centre of the plan. Natural stone, Venetian plaster and full-height glazing connect the interior palette with the garden beyond.
East Ryde, NSW
Completed 2024
Curved sandstone-toned brick, timber battens and black-framed windows define this East Ryde project. The rounded forms continue inside through a fluted timber kitchen island, with oak floors, marble and green terrazzo adding warmth and colour.
Ermington, NSW
Completed 2023
A five-bedroom home set against native gums, with a curved white upper level above a grey brick base. Slim battens screen the balcony, while floor-to-ceiling glazing opens the interior to greenery. Architecture by Peak Architects.
North Ryde, NSW
Completed 2023
Limestone and timber battens give this North Ryde project its street presence. Inside, bespoke joinery, a kitchen with a cool room, a dedicated mudroom and a sunken living area make space for everyday routines and gathering together.
Before the drawings
Bring the address, a survey if you have one and a short account of what needs to change. Views and daylight, privacy from neighbours, vehicle access and changes in level all belong in the first conversation. If there is an existing house, the decision to retain, extend or rebuild it needs to sit alongside the brief and available budget.
From first conversation to handover
The starting point depends on the site and how far the design has progressed. These are the decisions to work through with your team.
Share the address, survey, priorities and intended budget. Discuss access, orientation, outlook and the rooms and routines the new home needs to support.
Work through room relationships, circulation, daylight and the connection to outdoor space. Keep the site conditions and construction implications in view as the plan develops.
Resolve joinery, materials, fixtures and finishes alongside the architecture. Identify selections that affect the scope, cost and timing of the build.
Clarify the design responsibilities, consultant requirements, approval status and construction drawings. Agree what the building scope includes and what remains to be resolved.
Carry the documented design through construction, finishes and handover. Keep the next decisions visible as the home takes shape.
Ways to work with SHORE
You do not need to start again if you already have an architect. Choose the conversation that fits the work completed so far.
Start with the block, household brief and priorities. SHORE can coordinate architectural design, interiors and construction within an agreed scope, with the design and building decisions considered together.
Bring your architect's drawings, consultant information and current approval status. SHORE can discuss the construction scope and identify the details that need resolution before building begins.
Sydney
SHORE welcomes custom-home enquiries across the Eastern Suburbs, Lower North Shore, Northern Beaches and Inner West. Share your address and the stage of your project so we can discuss the site and the work you need.
Questions to bring early
Start with the site address, your priorities, intended budget and timing. A survey, photographs, existing drawings and approval documents are useful if you have them. Let us know whether an architect is already involved and which decisions are still open.
Yes. Bring the drawings, consultant information and current approval status. SHORE can discuss the construction scope while retaining your existing design team, with responsibilities agreed for the project.
Yes. Architectural design, interiors and construction can sit within one agreed scope. SWELL in Dover Heights is a completed home with architecture, interiors and facade by SHORE.
You can start before the drawings are complete. An early conversation can bring site access, construction details, materials and the intended budget into the design discussion. If you already have documentation, that becomes the starting point.
The size and complexity of the home, site access and levels, structural design, materials and finishes all affect the scope. Existing buildings, approval requirements and the completeness of the documentation also matter. Share your budget and available information early so the next conversation is grounded in your project.
