Nestled in the new Kingston Estate in Ocean Grove is Bespoke House 0, a single storey brick veneer home designed by Bespoke Architects co-founder Daniel Calder. Bespoke House 0 is Daniel’s his first home designed for himself, his partner and their two year old German Shepard.

Daniel not only faced the challenges of being both the designer and the client, he also had to wrestle with constraints of the budget and the Kingston Estate design covenants. Daniel’s creative flair produced a unique home that meet all the requirements for materials, sitting and massing. The end result is a definitive architectural style that blends well with the young neighbourhood character.

Completed in 2011 the build went smoothly both a testament to Daniel’s project management style and his working relationship with David McGovan Builders. Interestingly Daniel’s diplomacy skills where put to the test as his father Mark was the site foreman for the project. (We are please to report two years on father and son have a very strong relationship and Bespoke Architects are enjoying working with David McGovan Builders on several other projects including Bespoke Renovation 5 & 7)
