custom builds
Thoughtfully designed for the way you want to live
At Magor Builders, our Custom Design Team offers freedoms many builders simply can’t.
We don’t start with a standard plan – our custom builds start with you. Your lifestyle, your needs, and the way you want your home to feel all shape the design from the very beginning.
Every home we create is guided by Passive Solar principles, ensuring it’s naturally light-filled, well-ventilated, and comfortable across the seasons. The result is a healthier home that maintains a more stable internal temperature and reduces your energy costs.
A custom build ensures the house adapts to your land.
By designing specifically for your block’s unique DNA, we move beyond standard layouts to achieve site-specific optimization.
Whether navigating a challenging slope or capturing a panoramic vista, a bespoke floorplan utilizes passive orientation to frame your views perfectly.
We align living zones to harness natural light and prevailing breezes, ensuring your home breathes with its environment.
How we design your home
1
we begin with your lifestyle
Your home should reflect the way you live. We take the time to understand:
- How you use your spaces
- What matters most to you
- The atmosphere you want to create
This becomes the foundation of your custom design.

passive solar principles
We design with the environment, not against it. Our team considers:
- Orientation — positioning your home to capture winter sun and avoid harsh summer
heat - Sun angles — using natural light to warm thermal mass where it’s beneficial
- Shading — strategic protection that adapts to the seasons
- Natural ventilation — including tower ventilation techniques to keep air moving
- Daylight design — ensuring your home feels bright, open, and uplifting
These elements work together to create a home that stays naturally comfortable with less
reliance on heating and cooling.

healthier, more sustainable materials
We prefer to build with:
- Low VOC materials for better indoor air quality
- Low embodied energy products to reduce environmental impact
This ensures your home is not only efficient, but healthier to live in.
The result is a custom-designed home that is:
- Tailored to your lifestyle
- Filled with natural light
- Well-ventilated and comfortable year-round
- Energy-efficient by design
- Built with healthier, sustainable materials
It’s a home designed with intention — for comfort, wellbeing, and long-term performance.
