ABOUT
Built with intention, delivered with care. Loxton Built has quickly garnered a reputation for excellence in the construction of high-end custom homes across Melbourne. With a niche background specialising in both building and architectural disciplines, director James Ind brings a fresh perspective to each project, skillfully balancing design intent with buildability and budget. We bring a thoughtful understanding of suburban Melbourne living and its nuances to build progressive spaces that enrich everyday experiences.
OUR ETHOS
Creating suburban sanctuaries that speak to the subtleties and demands of modern life, our signature approach is intentionally and intuitively collaborative in nature. We believe in the value of involvement at the earliest stages in the design process to ensure a seamless flow from ideation to reality, of expectations and deliverability, and of vision and investment. It’s a straightforward and considered way of working that leads to smoother experiences and successful outcomes for our clients. This process is complemented by an aesthetic sensibility that is minimalist, calm and refined, with a deep appreciation for quality, materiality and thoughtful simplicity.
James brings a well-rounded perspective to every project - bridging the gap between design vision and execution. His dual expertise allows him to offer informed advice to clients and architects, solve challenges efficiently on site, and ensure the design intent is honoured while remaining mindful of buildability and project spend.
What drives James each day is simply the opportunity to do what he loves - bringing beautifully crafted homes to life.
On a personal note…
When James is not working, AFL is high on the agenda (North Melbourne in case you’re asking) alongside spending quality time with his wife and two young kids. He also enjoys playing golf and spending time with friends in his off time.
With a double degree in architecture and construction management and a Masters of architecture, [ B.Des (Arch), B.CM(Hons) M.Arch(DesMgt)], director James Ind brings a highly versatile knowledge foundation that blends design consideration together with the practical and logistical aspects of on-site construction and project management.
From a young age, an appreciation for beauty and skillful design has captivated his imagination. A formative memory of exploring new home builds in the local area with his father, where the visceral smell of freshly cut timber on work sites opened his eyes to a world of possibility for the future, set his life on a specific course. Fast forward to today, Loxton Built is the resulting culmination of James' vision and drive. In particular, he values the relationships cultivated with both clients and subcontractors alike, believing that trust and collaboration are key to a successful project.
