THE COSY HOME
A family home that feels like a holiday home!
Positioned on a majestic site, this family house was built in pure modernist traditions using post and beam, full-height joinery and beautiful timber accents. It is a two-storey home where the downstairs floor feels like its own private space – perfect for long-stay guests. The main living area leads out onto a number of decks, both private and more open to the views, covered and uncovered. The house can be opened out in summer but remains cosy and warm in winter. All in all, a home that could work beautifully as both a full-time house and a family holiday.

This was the seed of Box™. A strong belief that the best way to produce the best homes was through builders, designers and customers working in unison, not against one another.
Success comes through an understanding, appreciation and trust of each other’s expertise. This results in great design – part of which is building pragmatism. This combination of design and build practicality also leads to a unique company culture.
We have designed the way we work on the premise that all projects tend to go really well until the cost gets in the way.
As a result, we take our customers through what we believe to be an industry-leading process: the successful dance of design flair, construction knowledge and budget guidance.
