SEPARATE SLEEP HOUSE, OUTDOOR TOILET AND SHOWER AND BUSH KITCHEN

This modular home has a core of 4 modules, which provide an indoor kitchen, living space and two sleep rooms. It highlights what your home may look like as it is extended, to provide an indoor bathroom and larger sleeping quarters.

ACCESSIBILITY

Modular houses can be easily adapted for accessible living. Ensure that ramp access is provided at a 1:20 gradient and doorways have a clearance of 1.5m.

Traditional Bush Kitchen

The Module can also be used as an external bush kitchen, replacing the sprung timber floor for perimeter timber benches and the metal sheet roof for a breathable bamboo weave, to allow smoke to pass through.

This also allows kitchens to be extended for celebrations and community events. Remember to remove bamboo matting and partial cladding before a Cyclone.

Compressed Earth Blocks and timber weather boarding create a safe room to protect family and belongings

Sliding partitions allow sleep rooms to adapt to family sizes and open up into larger living spaces

Cross ventilation ensures humidity is reduced and keeps house cool

Lockable shutters protect house internally when cyclones hit, as well as preventing glass louvres from shattering External sleep house entrances allow ‘bedrooms’ to be create to provide separate space for children, parents and grandparents.

Detached Toilet And Shower

The Module can also be used as an external toilet and shower, especially when there is no running water available. Rain water can be collected in tanks and fed into the toilet and showers, for washing and flushing.

Doors are paired with windows and breathable bamboo cladding to provide cool sleeping spaces
