The Design
Distinct wings and a central axis define this clever design, creating an organised layout that welcomes views, light, and breezes.
Tailored to meet the client’s site, brief, and budget, this 240 m2 home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a retreat space, comprising two main modules connected by a corridor module.
Testimonial – Client Review
In the Victorian coastal town of Barwon Heads, John O’Donnell says building his modular home was a precise and seamless experience.
“It was great, because it meant what they said it would cost was exactly what it cost, as opposed to building your own house, where there always seems to be vast numbers of things that go wrong,” he says. Using a customisable modular home design from Arkular, he created a five-bedroom house using two main modules and a joining module which acts as a corridor.
John says the simplicity of modular design meant he was not encouraged to “build the Taj Mahal” but had enough design choices to shape his project into much more than a box.
“I’ve had lots of comments, because there is a walking track not very far from there, so a lot of local people see it.
“The look of it is good, it’s got a character of its own and it’s really easy to look after and to live in.”
