PROGRESS UPDATE // We're nearing completion of our coastal home project in Barwon Heads, focusing now on the final details.
It's always an exciting day when the joinery is installed, and the stone unveiled. The beautiful Oak joinery and Super White Dolomite have come together to create a space filled with natural texture, depth and beauty.

Crazy paving is a great option for adding texture and visual appeal to a project. We love the crazy paving at PATCHING which begins in the entrance and is carried through to the backyard hardscaping.
Stay tuned for a home we have underway where crazy paving is being used inside the home as well as out in the alfresco.

Our Directors and Co-Founders, Chris & Paul, were invited into a private Builders Mastermind Group "Synthesis" earlier this year. Synthesis unites skilled builders across Australia, fostering a collaborative space for sharing insights, triumphs, setbacks, and industry best practices on a weekly basis via Zoom.
In the words of entrepreneur Jim Rohn, "You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with." The Synthesis group serves as a powerhouse of collective wisdom, emphasising the profound impact of our connections on personal and professional growth.
These shots offer a glimpse into a transformative weekend in Byron Bay, where Paul and Chris dedicated three days to recording podcasts, setting ambitious goals, and exchanging knowledge spanning business strategies, personal development, peak performance, and more.
It’s been an incredible journey so far with Paul and Chris enjoying spending quality time with other likeminded business owners who want to continuously improve both themselves personally, as well as their businesses.
We only have one life, so let's make every moment count! 🚀

Arca X Movember '23 🖤
Our first year following our rebrand to ARCA also marks our first year of a meaningful commitment to raising awareness and vital funds for the Movember campaign.
Movember is a month to unite and focus on mental health, su***de prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
Throughout November, we'll be sharing progress shots of our team’s moustache growing skills! We hope you will be impressed as you follow their Mo' journey! Our team will also be aiming to achieve their exercise goals and tracking them over on our page.
We invite you to donate to our Movember campaign via the link in our Instagram bio or use the QR code on our post. Funds raised go towards research, education, and support programs 🫶
Together, let's make a lasting impact on men's health 🤍
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you today!
After eight years of dedicated service and growth, we’re embarking on a new journey of rebranding our business to better reflect our values and product offering.
After reflecting on what truly makes us who we are and what we can offer our clients, we’re proud to unveil our new brand identity.
From today Gentrify will be known as ARCA.
Why ARCA? “ARCA”, meaning 'stronghold' or 'safeguard' for valuables, reflects our steadfast dedication to creating homes that stand the test of time. It embodies the essence of our purpose - to build not just structures, but enduring legacies that we can all be proud of.
We want to assure you that, despite the new name and branding, we remain the same company you’ve known and trusted over the years.
Join us as we embark on this exciting chapter as ARCA. We are energised, more dedicated than ever and we look forward to continuing to build beautiful homes for our community and sharing our work with you.
Warm regards,
Chris & Paul

Our Point Lonsdale home has been crafted using a variety of quality materials.
Externally, the home is clad in a premium New Zealand timber from Abodo Wood which is known for its durability and beautiful weathering characteristics. It is a Carbon Negative material 👏
The bottom level is constructed using handmade bricks from the Krause Bricks factory a couple of hours away in Stawell. They are also carbon neutral 🌿
We can't wait to see the landscaping start to thrive around this home. If you look carefully, you will see garden beds up on the balcony which will eventually spill over the sides 🌱
