For ten years, Sunny Homes has been shaping Canberra’s residential landscape, delivering custom homes built on quality, trust and strong family values.
Founded by Sunny Malhotra and operating full-time since 2016, the multi-award-winning local builder has constructed more than 300 custom homes across the ACT and surrounding NSW region. With consistent recognition from the Housing Industry Association and the Master Builders Association, Sunny Homes has established itself as one of the region’s most trusted builders.
The business specialises in a broad range of projects, including single-storey and double-storey homes, house and land packages, and knockdown rebuilds. However, it is the company’s custom-built homes that truly define its reputation. Nearly half of Sunny Homes’ annual construction activity is dedicated to one-of-a-kind homes designed to suit each client’s block, lifestyle and long-term vision.
In a city like Canberra, where slopes and block conditions vary significantly, tailored design is critical. Sunny Homes focuses on maximising each site’s potential, ensuring homes are not only visually striking but also practical, functional and responsive to their environment.
Knockdown rebuilds have become a core strength of the business, particularly as families seek to upgrade their homes without leaving established neighbourhoods. Remaining close to schools, workplaces and community networks while enjoying the benefits of a brand-new home has driven strong demand in this sector.
Sunny Homes’ design excellence has been recognised at a national level. Its Googong display home, a barn-style single-storey residence, received a National MBA Award in the Display Home of the Year category. The award reflects the company’s focus on thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship and high-end finishes.
At ShowRoom Canberra, Sunny Homes will showcase its expertise in custom home builds and knockdown rebuilds across the ACT. Visitors can learn more about the company’s design process, transparent quotation system and personalised approach to building. The team will also highlight its popular double-storey split-level designs and luxury inclusions, offering insight into how tailored design can elevate everyday living.
For those wanting to experience the quality firsthand, Sunny Homes currently has three display homes open across the region:
• 73 Robin Boyd Crescent, Taylor
• 60 Edward Drive, Googong NSW
• 8 Shillam Chase, Whitlam
In addition, the company is preparing to open two new display homes, including a French Provincial design and a dedicated knockdown rebuild display home in Red Hill.
Industry trends continue to favour customisation over standard catalogue layouts. Increasingly, homeowners are seeking unique spaces tailored specifically to their lifestyle rather than generic designs. Sunny Homes’ growing portfolio of non-catalogue builds reflects this shift toward individuality and personal expression in residential construction.
What sets the business apart is its commitment to one-on-one service, clear communication and transparency throughout the building journey. From the initial concept through to completion, clients are guided through each stage with detailed planning and open dialogue. The team’s ability to communicate in English, Tagalog, Mandarin, Hindi and Punjabi also ensures accessibility for a diverse client base. Specialised inclusions, including Vastu and Feng Shui considerations, are accommodated where required.
Visitors to Showroom Canberra are encouraged to stop by and meet the team if they are considering building, buying or undertaking a knockdown rebuild. With a strong track record, award-winning designs and a personalised approach, Sunny Homes continues to raise the standard in custom building across the region.
Display homes are open every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10am to 6pm.
