DB Design - Wonthaggi

Since 1996 db design has produced quality and award-winning designs that have led to recognition as one of the region’s leading Building Design Company’s.

db design is the evolution of Darren Brown, namesake and Managing Director of the company. Darren is a local Bass Coast resident with strong links to the community through his involvement with Wonthaggi Power Football Club, and a keen surfer. Darren has exceptional knowledge and understanding of building methods, good design principles and the construction industry which he has developed through c

ountless hours of consultation, exploration and investigation. Beginning his career as a Building Surveyor/Inspector and gaining invaluable qualifications and knowledge of all aspects of commercial and residential building practices, his passion for the building industry grew. After approximately eight years in this position, Darren moved into the building design and drafting field and in 1996, db design was formed in San Remo. As business grew, and with an expanding family, Darren moved into his HIA Accredited GreenSmart custom designed office and display home at 47 Graham Street, Wonthaggi where he and his team create from today. His designs are found throughout the Bass Coast and surrounding areas embracing strong design philosophies which make them sought after liveable homes and functional, stylish buildings. db design's unique ability to connect with each client's individual desires and styles, whilst embracing sustainable building methods create a result which is loved by clients and recognised by professional organisations such as the Building Design Association of Victoria and the Housing Industry Association. We also have an extensive and experienced group of building industry professionals at our disposal who bring their expertise to every project as required, such as Project Management, Energy Ratings, Soil Testing, Engineering, Interior and Lighting Design.

║SAN REMO║Luxury Coastal Retreat

A striking contemporary coastal residence set against an extraordinary ocean backdrop, this newly built home blends modern architectural design with relaxed resort-style living.

Positioned on an expansive rural landscape overlooking the coastline, the property captures uninterrupted panoramic water views while offering complete privacy and space.

The home features a sophisticated pavilion-style layout with clean lines, low-profile roofing, and a refined palette of natural textures and muted tones that sit beautifully within the surrounding environment. Large glazed openings maximise natural light and frame the sweeping ocean vistas from almost every angle.

At the centre of the design is a luxurious outdoor living zone, complete with a resort-inspired swimming pool and landscaped entertaining terrace that seamlessly connects the main residence to the surrounding grounds. A full-sized private tennis court further enhances the lifestyle appeal, creating a true family retreat designed for recreation and entertaining.

The extensive site planning incorporates generous open lawns, established windbreak planting, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces including a children’s play area and firepit zone, balancing functionality with relaxed coastal elegance. Sustainable design elements, including rooftop solar integration, reinforce the home’s modern efficiency while complementing its contemporary aesthetic.

Overall, the residence delivers a rare combination of architectural sophistication, coastal serenity, and premium lifestyle living, a landmark modern home designed to embrace both the landscape and the spectacular Bass Coast setting 🌊

DB Design HQ X Display Home 🏡

Did you know our office space on Graham Street in the heart of Wonthaggi is also a showcase of one of our ready-to-go home designs?

Because we work from this space every day, we get to experience the design as it’s meant to be lived in. It’s an opportunity to walk through, see the details up close and understand how each design comes together in a real setting.

If you’ve been stuck on where to start for your knock down-rebuild, reno or vacant land, you can choose a plan from our Standard Homes design collection or use it as a starting point to shape something that’s your own. A simple and flexible way to begin!

Take a virtual walk through on our website, or come and see it in person. We’re always here for a chat ☺️

║INVERLOCH║

A home designed to sink into the natural landscape.

The Kove Taylor Residence opens itself to coastal living through large windows, relaxed open spaces and an upper deck made for catching the ocean breeze.

A darker palette and simple architectural lines give this home a timeless coastal feel, while the interiors remain cosy, calm and inviting.

We are absolutely in love with this stunning property especially at dusk 🖤

║CAPRI PLACE INVERLOCH║

Situated right on the beach, this family home was designed in response to a compact 368sqm site, a challenge we were very excited to tackle!

We pulled out all the stops to tick every box for the owners with this stunning home featuring dual living areas, dual balconies to capture the surrounding views, and a private outdoor entertaining space complete with a large spa.

We’re so happy with the outcome and loved seeing it come to life. Piasente Construction have done an amazing job delivering this intricate build ✔️
