We’re getting closer and closer to the shell homes at Blenheim Grove being completed, and we’ve had some great response from the people that we’ve taken around the site!

At Unboxed Homes, we’re passionate about custom build because it gives home owners the opportunity to design and fit out their home to suit their needs instead of having to settle for a home that someone else has designed and chosen for them.
We’re also proud to work with some great architects in designing our shell homes, so that the structure of the home will be just as beautiful and functional and you can make the inside.
