Welcome to Utsukushii Uchi, a Japanese-inspired oasis of modern luxury that seamlessly blends form and function. From the high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the living spaces with natural light, to the carefully curated selection of high-end materials and finishes. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a space that is both aesthetically striking and functionally efficient.
Using traditional Japanese materials, practices and features, including sustainably grown Japanese cedar, Yakisugi (authentically charred) cladding and interior Shoji doors, Utsukushii uchi is the epitome of modern Japanese luxury. The open-plan layout features a gourmet kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, a luxurious master suite with a spa-inspired bathroom, floor to ceiling light shafts, and additional bedrooms with ample closet space.
Design Builders create superb one-off homes for our clients, we’ve been doing this for 30 years and along the way we’ve won well over 100 Registered Master Builders House of The Year Awards, including Regional Gold Awards, Best in Category and many more.
Our company’s foundations were laid by our founder, Andy Bell, back in 1992 when we built a new home for our very first client.
We’ve come a long way since then, we’ve grown in size and reputation, yet like anything that’s built to last, we’ve stuck to our original vision and values. We offer New Zealanders something unique – instead of catalogues, templates or pre-existing designs we design and build superb unique homes that express the owner’s personality; a home inspired by the people who will live in it and love it. We call it ‘A home built around you’.
No existing plans, templates, or catalogues. We work with you to create a unique home designed & built just for you, inspired by you.
You might think that a home designed and built the way you want is out of reach. With Design Builders, you can afford to think differently. Our process is built around you, including your budget. Let’s talk.
