Only really good people.
Even better projects.
Founded by entrepreneur and developer Simon Digby, Pauseprojects is a boutique property developer dedicated to creating distinctive homes shaped by exceptional design, thoughtful execution, and a genuine connection to place.
From his early days as a globally touring DJ and producer to building Melbourne hospitality group Roar Projects into an industry leader, Simon’s career has been defined by bringing people, ideas, and experiences together. He later helped lead Top Shelf International to its ASX listing before relocating to Bali, where he continues to connect world-class talent and opportunities through Pause Projects.
Working alongside leading architects, designers, consultants, and craftspeople, Pauseprojects approaches each development as a collaborative journey rather than a conventional building exercise. Drawing on an international network that includes Soho House, Pacha Group, MORQ, and Edition Office, the studio brings exceptional people together to create projects that are both commercially successful and culturally meaningful.
Today, Pauseprojects works with clients from Australia, Singapore, Jakarta, Los Angeles, and beyond, providing a highly personalised development experience supported by regular reporting, site inspections, consultant coordination, and on-the-ground representation throughout the entire process.
The focus is not on volume, but on creating architecturally driven residences with enduring value. Every project is carefully considered from concept to completion, balancing beauty with functionality, craftsmanship with simplicity, and design with a strong sense of place.
For Pauseprojects, development is not simply about creating buildings. It is about creating places that inspire, endure, and become more meaningful over time.
