A range of small home and cabin designs which are as economical and energy efficient as possible, while also being stylish, functional, and no bigger than necessary. The drawing sets available for purchase on this website are prepared by a certified building designer and are comprehensive enough to be submitted to local Council for approval as is, and given to local builders, tradesmen, and materials suppliers for competitive quotes. The drawings include floorplans, elevations, sections, construction details, and specifications; plus complete materials, components, and fixtures order lists.
The well thought out 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.
