OUR BEGINNING aqupa Pty Ltd began its career with one of its most complicated projects to date. Established in 2003, the company’s principals Michael Canturi, and the Dimitriadis brothers, Chris and Peter, were brought together out of necessary. A highly complex building project, know as the ‘Butterfly House’ required a very unique and specialised team for its construction. Even its award winning architect, Ed Lippmann, stated that “many of its details would be a first”. Its construction demanded a certain type of craftsman builder with an appreciation for good architecture. The challenge initiated by Michael Canturi, was to form a highly skilled and dedicated group of individuals, each with a lifetime of building experience and willing to push boundaries. The Dimitriadis brothers, Chris and Peter, finally became the obvious choice, originally being drawn to the project specifically for its complexity and challenge; the Dimitriadis brothers come from a proud family history of master carpenter woodcarvers. |
The eventual overwhelming success of the project resulted in bringing together dedicated, like minded people, with the same work ethics, driven by high standards, professionalism and teamwork. Since completion, the Butterfly House has become internationally recognised as one of Australia’s most iconic houses. Today, our purpose built group successfully continues to grow as leaders in the industry with focus on service, expertise and quality. |
