Custom Home Builders Curlewis

Building in Curlewis gives you the chance to enjoy modern residential living while staying connected to everything that makes the Bellarine Peninsula such an appealing place to call home. The area has seen considerable residential development, with contemporary homes, newer estates and properties that transition toward the surrounding rural landscape. With that variety comes an opportunity to create a home that responds properly to its individual block rather than relying on a standard floorplan.

Pivot Homes has been designing and building custom homes across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and surrounding areas since 1990. Our in-house building designers consider the orientation, dimensions, outlook, neighbouring homes and the way you want to use your indoor and outdoor spaces before the design is finalised. Whether you are planning a comfortable family home, a double-storey design that makes better use of a smaller block, or a home positioned to take advantage of an outlook, every project is developed around the site, your lifestyle and your budget.

Curlewis is a good example of why thoughtful design matters on newer residential blocks. Lot size, frontage, neighbouring development, privacy, driveway position and outdoor living space can all influence how a home should be arranged. Where there is an opportunity for a broader outlook or bay views, a reverse-living design can also place the main living areas upstairs to make better use of the outlook while keeping bedrooms and secondary spaces below.

Pivot Homes has already designed a home specifically for this kind of approach in the area. The Curlewis 41 uses an upper-level open-plan living zone with highlight glazing and a large entertaining deck, while bedrooms and a rumpus are positioned downstairs. It is a useful example of how a custom layout can respond to the opportunities of a particular block. Across all of our homes, we also consider natural light, practical zoning and energy performance, with a minimum 7-star energy rating focus. Typical construction takes around 10 to 14 months depending on the home, site conditions and scope of the project.
