Our recent Torquay projects include custom homes that make the most of the coastal landscape, considering orientation, thoughtful material selection, and spaces designed for the way people actually live.

Custom Homes Designed for Coastal Living
A great coastal home is more than good views. It’s about capturing the morning light, managing the afternoon wind, choosing materials that hold up in a salt air environment, and creating outdoor spaces you’ll actually use year-round.
We bring all of this thinking to every Torquay project we take on.
- Considered orientation for natural light and cross-ventilation
- Material selection suited to coastal conditions
- Indoor-outdoor connection as a core design principle
- Landscaping and external works planned from the start

Highly recommendedPosted on Liesl Wilson Thanks to Jason and his fabulous team we have just finished yet another beautiful renovation on our holiday house in Jan Juc. Jason’s attention to detail is always great and any issues that arose were always handled within a timely manner. As we weren’t living near the property it was really important for us to have a team looking after our home that we totally trusted and could leave with access to the home at all times. The guys were great and respectful of our home. I thoroughly reccommend Spicer Building for first class workmanship, great value and total Professionalism.Posted on Rychelle Carmody I cannot recommend Spicer Building highly enough!
