A passion for design.
We draw inspiration from the natural beauty of where we live.
We, (Dave and Paula Gaskin) are fortunate enough to have lived and worked in Victoria’s majestic Bass Coast for more than 20 years.
We know this part of the world, the wild beauty, vivid colours and climatic extremes.
Our constructions are highly energy efficient – we live and breathe passive solar design.
What we do leaves minimal waste and has little impact on our natural resources and environment.
Our Story
At 16, Dave started as clerk of works for Perrott, Lyon & Mathieson Architects – working on such projects as the Rialto building, the Capita building and The Glen shopping centre.
Returning to Inverloch in the early 1990’s, Dave joined Hulls Engineering as a manufacturing draftsman and worked on local projects including Silverwater Resort at San Remo, Koonwarra sale yards, and the Meeniyan footbridge (to name a few).
Soon after, Dave was approached by Hotondo Homes to offer freelance design services. And as they say, the rest is history.
Joining forces with wife Paula (whose background in admin,
bookkeeping and customer sales) produced the winning team that is DG Design.
We strive to provide a comprehensive service that allows clients the freedom to create, while we take care of the rest. Our extensive knowledge and experience of the area, the planning and building permit process and the building codes ensures your experience of the building process is as smooth as possible.
