A home shaped around your land and the way you live.
Salt & Sand builds a select number of architecturally considered homes for clients who value thoughtful planning, enduring materials and direct access to their builder. Each home responds to its site rather than forcing a standard plan onto it.
Early builder input can expose access, structure, services and material decisions before they become expensive changes on site. Michael works directly with clients, architects, designers and consultants to bring design intent and construction reality together.
Considered, not mass produced
A limited project load allows closer supervision and clearer communication. The focus is on proportion, light, movement, landscape connection and the details that make a home feel resolved—not a catalogue of upgrades.
Coastal and hinterland experience
Southern Gold Coast sites vary sharply, from established coastal blocks to steep, vegetated acreage. Salt & Sand brings practical experience across carpentry, structure, excavation, retaining and detailed residential construction to the whole build.
When a custom build is a good fit
This approach suits clients with a site, a design brief or plans who want to resolve the home around their land and daily routines. Michael can review practical questions about access, structure and materials with the design team before construction decisions are locked in.
From first discussion to handover
Start with the site, plans and priorities. Michael remains the direct builder contact while the scope is assessed, consultants and trades are coordinated and construction progresses. The conversation can begin before drawings are final, when buildability input is most useful.
Do you work with an existing architect or designer?
Yes. Salt & Sand can join an established consultant team and contribute practical buildability, staging and cost input before construction.
Where do you build custom homes?
The focus is the Southern Gold Coast, including Tallebudgera, Currumbin and Currumbin Valley, with selected projects across the wider Gold Coast, Scenic Rim and Northern NSW.
Will I deal directly with the builder?
Yes. Michael Robertson personally oversees each Salt & Sand project and remains the client’s direct point of contact.
