Design

Live + Work + Play in a Healthy, Efficient
& Resilient Space

The (D.O)ᵛᵉ process is our four-step approach to realising your dream for a healthy, efficient, comfortable and resilient home. Not just on paper, but in real life.

(D.O)ᵛᵉ:
Delivering your dream.

Design

We listen to your needs and create flexible designs that grow with your family.

Optimise

We analyse, refine, and tweak the design to meet your performance goals efficiently and affordably.

Verify

We inspect critical construction stages to ensure your home delivers the performance you paid for.

Enjoy!

After you move in, we help you make the most of your home — so it feels just right.

Our unique (D.O)ᵛᵉ process empowers you to intentionally pursue a healthy, efficient & resilient family home.

Here at Homeworks, we care about achieving your family home dream – in real life, not just on paper.

To do this, we approach things a little differently to the Joneses, by relying on our integrated (D.O)ᵛᵉ process. Firstly we design, optimise and document with intent to perform; then we verify that as-built reality matches our vision; and finally we stay in touch after you move in and guide you to enjoy the best of your new home.

PROJECT SHOWCASE

Bayside Bungalow

Designed by Homeworks, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, dual living family home in Bayside is a delight.

Having lived in period homes in the past, our clients (a young and growing family) wanted a home full of natural light, with modern functional spaces, that is connected with the outdoors and crafted with intent.

We designed their home to retain, renew and celebrate the original Californian Bungalow, while providing a modern functional open plan living space integrated with the rear entertaining areas. The playful small triangular north facing window above the kitchen fills the space with light and echoes the dramatic rear glazing.

We provided distinct living and sleeping areas, together with multi-functional spaces to facilitate their lifestyle and provide flexibility as the family grows.
