who we are

About Kurō

Kurō is a Melbourne residential builder specialising in architectural renovations, extensions and custom homes. With family roots in the building trade dating back to 1952, and a belief in taking on only a small number of projects at a time, our team promises a more detailed and client focused build.

Evolution

Today
Kurō

The junction where solid oak flooring meets a stone hearth is a small detail most people will never notice.

It’s also the kind of detail that tells you how a project was run.
