Has YNH gone mad?
You may be thinking... Why on earth are these guys promoting projects that weren't created through their brokerage?
Well, we like to keep it transparent and give credit where it's due.
There are a lot of fantastic custom builders in town, and not all of them are part of YNH's tendering network.
In no particular order, this is an unbiased list of our 5 favourite custom-built homes in Melbourne (that weren't done through YNH).

1. Folding Floor House, Abbotsford
The Details: Fitting into the hip neighbourhood of Abbotsford perfectly! The Folding Floor House has a beautiful architectural presence and maximises spade. A gem for inner-city living. The layered timber fin façade provides solar protection, privacy and creates light-filled spaces through this family home.

5. The Besen Mansion, Toorak
The Details: We can't possibly conclude this list without featuring Toorak.
The former home to Daniel and Danielle Besen at 9 Towers Rd, Toorak, has won an architectural award. It was once Melbourne’s most expensive house.
The four-bedroom mansion, sold by rich listers Daniel and Danielle Besen – members of one of Australia’s richest families, came with a flying-saucer-style disc as its roof.
Wood Marsh Architecture, who designed the home, noted in their award submission that the black zinc clad disc roof was used to accentuate the shadows around the home.
