Based in Byron Bay, we specialise in commercial and residential projects that blend design, construction, and storytelling, ensuring that every project is thoughtful and meaningful. From high-end homes to community hubs and creative office spaces, our holistic approach brings together beauty, quality, and sustainability at every step.
With a focus on sustainability, and a 360-degree service that includes design, construction, and content creation, we create environments that tell stories, bring people together, and stand the test of time.
Whether you’re envisioning a new development or revitalising an existing one, Kick takes an end-to-end approach that ensures your project is as meaningful as it is functional.
