Professionally prepared drawings which are comprehensive enough to be submitted to local Council for approval as is, and can also be given to local builders, tradesmen, and materials suppliers for competitive quotes. The complete drawing sets include floorplans, elevations, sections, construction details, and materials specifications for a range of small homes and cabins which are designed to be as economical and energy efficient as possible, while also being stylish, functional, and no bigger than necessary.
The simple floor plans and standard construction details ensure they are easily buildable just about anywhere in Australia or New Zealand using readily available off-the-shelf materials and conventional construction techniques. They are also dimensioned to accommodate standard-sized wall, floor, and roof sheets in easily handled sizes to minimise waste and labour and are structurally designed in compliance with the (Australian) SAA Light Timber Framing Code. If required, they can easily be modified to comply with local bushfire (BAL) regulations and cyclonic conditions.
The design philosophy embraces simple modern minimalism, combined with the belief that houses built onsite, by local tradesmen, using locally purchased (and sourced, if possible) materials, can be more socially responsible, more attractive, more robust, and more affordable than factory-built prefabricated houses. Drawings will be available for purchase on this website before the end of 2026.
