Concept Design
Project Type
Residential
Affordable, modular housing inspired by Queensland’s coastal shacks, designed for adaptability and efficiency.
The design incorporates fibre cement cladding, skillion roofs, and clerestory windows within modular layouts, prioritising efficiency, affordability and adaptability. The homes are offered in two- and three-bedroom configurations optimised for transportation and regional housing needs.
Strategic design elements such as natural light-filled living spaces, soft matte finishes, and distinct datum lines ensure these modular housing solutions don’t compromise on appeal or comfort.
This approach transforms modular housing into thoughtfully designed homes, balancing cultural resonance with the practical demands of QBuild’s Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) program.

Pat's House
Date

Location
Townsville, QLD
Phase
Design Development
Project Type
Residential
A solid, grounded structure embedded into Castle Hill, designed to work with the terrain rather than against it. The exaggerated roofline runs perpendicular to the slope, reinforcing the home’s architectural stance.
A strong datum defines the materiality- a darker rendered base anchoring the building, with two prefabricated levels in a lighter tone resting above. Designed for adaptability, the home functions efficiently for two but expands seamlessly when family returns. A continuous balcony wraps the facade, opening up panoramic views of Magnetic Island.
