Our Coastal Dream Knockdown Rebuild

Starting off as a “big dream” to one day have their own coastal home with a white picket fence, pool for the kids, lush green garden and don’t forget space for the dog to run. Felecia and her partner Chris have made that dream a reality through a Knockdown Rebuild with MOJO Homes. 

Located only 10 minutes from Manly beach, the couple found their perfect location in March 2022. A great big block of land with views of the beach from the top floor, this was the space they wanted to plant their roots. 

After finding their dream location, it was time to find their dream home. Every weekend was spent walking through different display homes until they found the “perfect home for us” says Felicia. Stepping through the doors at HomeWorld Box Hill, Felicia and Chris met with New Home Consultant Joey. Walking through the Enigma 46, they found the one. So much so, that they even went back 6 times. 

Things started to become real in April, paying their deposit and accepting the tender to build their own Enigma 46.
In love with all things Coastal, it was time to visit the MyChoice Design Studio for their colour selections. Meeting with expert Interior Designer Bronwyn, they brought their Coastal home to life with the following selections. 

• Caesarstone Frosty Carrina kitchen bench tops 
• Polar White Satin Finish cabinetry
• Tiled Urban Wall Matt White splashback border
• Albany White floor tiles to wet areas
• Pergo Chalked Nordic Oak timber flooring 
• Taubmans Hailstone wall paint

Now it was time to knock the block. Taking less than a week, the couple said goodbye to the house in September in preparation for their new home.

Bringing in the new year, Felicia and Chris came back to a nice surprise after being away for the holidays, with their block cut and filled and the slab poured. 

Next was an exciting moment for the couple. The delivery of their new pool! Excavated and installed within a week, the pool is now boarded up and fenced off until the build is finished. After the recent hot weather, we know this is going to be a great asset to have in the summers to come.  

Renting a house only 300m down the road, Felicia and Chris are lucky enough to watch every stage of their build first hand. However, MOJO’s handy myhome customer portal means even if you don’t live near your build, you can keep up to date regularly with photos from your site supervisor.
