Behind the Build | Ep. 5: Kylie the Architect – Eljay Design
Date 12 Aug 2026
In Episode 5 of Behind the Build, Mils and Jo sit down with Kylie from Eljay Design to talk through the architectural brief behind their Waihi Beach forever home.
This episode explores how the design was shaped around the way their family actually lives — from entertaining and everyday connection to making the most of the sea views. At the centre of the home is the kitchen, dining and living area, designed to become the true hub of family life.
It’s a look at how a strong design brief can turn ideas, priorities and lifestyle needs into a home that feels both practical and personal.
Watch Episode 5 to see how the vision for Mils and Jo’s Waihi Beach home is starting to take shape.
