Bangalow, 2018 | Arakwal Country
This 2 bedroom home was designed customising the modular building system of our sister company Joint Modular to suit the particularities of the site while being easy to transport and construct.
On a steeply sloping block near the Bangalow heritage conservation area and overlooking the hinterland, the new home needed to comply with certain design requirements such as a particular roof pitch. Two basic Joint modules form the private spaces while a custom high ceilinged section between them creates the living areas that open to both the front and rear gardens.
The home was largely constructed in a workshop in Wollongong and then transported to Bangalow for assembly. Modular wall panels with plywood cladding form the shell with a composite metal roof, while hardwood screens throughout provide privacy and shading.
