About

Gem learned what a home should feel like long before she knew how to build one.

Growing up in England and working alongside some of the world's most prestigious property developers in the heart of London's Belgravia, where she was exposed to a level of finish most people never encounter in person. She came to understand luxury not as a price point but as a feeling. Rooms with a particular calm to them. Fabrics and textures chosen with an almost obsessive care. Sofas you sink into. Stone that feels cool and permanent underfoot. Spaces so thoughtfully considered that you don't notice any single decision — you simply feel encompassed by the space.

That feeling followed her across the world. As co-founder of a celebrated Australian sandal brand, handcrafted in Spain from traditional leather, she learned how to translate instinct into something people want to own, and how to build a brand rooted in beauty, craft, and the belief that the way something is made matters as much as how it looks.

Brent came to building through his blood.

His grandfather built thousands of homes across Canberra, a man whose work shaped entire neighbourhoods and whose legacy shaped Brent. He grew up landscaping alongside his father, developing the kind of eye for land and proportion that can't be taught. He went on to build high-end residences in Double Bay, deliver projects with the NSW Police Force, and create the Police Memorial in Surry Hills, a structure designed to last, to mean something, to be stood in front of and felt. He has also built and grown multiple businesses in the building sector, understanding the industry from the ground up in every sense.

Together they are, in the truest sense, a collision of the poetic and the precise.

Elouera Design House exists because they couldn't find what they were looking for, so they built it. Again and again. Each home a conversation between structure and soul, between the enduring and the beautiful, between what a home is and what it makes you feel.

Some houses you live in. Some you never quite leave.

We build the second kind.
