Modular Zero Carbon Homes
Designed for the Australian outdoor lifestyle, our modular zero carbon home concept received the 2015 Sustainable Housing for Life Design Award in the Northern Rivers region. The system combines flexibility with standardised components that are configured to suit your location, needs and budget. Open-plan living, connected by decks and breezeways, create a spacious, seamless transition to the outdoors. The layouts adapt to many factors such as views, climate, topography, staging and future changes.
Developed with industry partners, our system supports local production and uses materials and finishes that are healthy for people and the environment. A second modular series is coming soon. Interested in an adaptable modular home? Get in touch to learn more.
