Saltair Featured in Grand Designs

Saltair is excited to be featured by Grand Designs Australia Magazine in its recent article, Why Modular Homes are the Smart Choice.

For a brand synonymous with high-end architecture and beautiful design, Grand Designs showcasing Saltair is a powerful endorsement of something we believe deeply: modular homes can be just as luxurious, bespoke and grand as any traditional build.
Modular – But Make It Premium

The feature highlights how modular construction has evolved well beyond basic, boxy forms. At Saltair, our homes are:

  • Award-winning and design-led, with an architectural focus
  • Built with premium finishes, from joinery and fixtures to cladding and glazing
  • Fully customisable, so clients can tailor layouts, façades and interior palettes to match their lifestyle

As Grand Designs explains, modular is no longer the “alternative” option – it’s an intelligent, efficient way to achieve a dream home without compromising on design or quality.

Same Standards, Smarter Delivery

In the article, Grand Designs notes that Saltair’s homes are built to meet all relevant National Construction Standards, with factory-controlled processes that enhance precision and quality control. Key benefits called out include:

  • Faster build times, thanks to offsite construction
  • Reduced weather delays and site risk
  • Minimal disruption to neighbours and existing homes
  • Less material waste, supporting more sustainable outcomes

In other words: you still get a home that’s built to last – it just happens smarter and faster.

Luxury That Fits Your Lifestyle

Grand Designs also highlights the breadth of what modular can achieve, including:

  • Coastal retreats
  • Hinterland escapes
  • Urban-style residences
  • Homes on sloping or complex sites

With over 30 designs and the ability to customise, Saltair clients can create spaces that feel every bit as “Grand Designs-worthy” as a one-off architect-designed home – but with the added benefits of repeatable systems and controlled construction.
