Clever Modular Floorplans for a Smart Prefab Home
Quality floorplans are an essential starting point for any Arkular design. Looking for a smart, functional home that works hard for your needs? Read on to view a selection of our thoughtfully designed modular floorplans and learn more about what goes in to crafting the perfect layout.
Why Choose an Arkular Modular Design?
Architecturally designed Arkular floorplans offers numerous advantages that enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your home, including:
1. Optimised Space Utilisation
At Arkular we design big rather than build big, maximising best use of space, with appropriate room sizes and efficient circulation paths.
2. Improved Flow and Connectivity
Our floorplans provide flow between spaces, indicating how rooms connect and how people will move through the home.
3. Customisation
Working with Arkular allows you to customise your design according to your specific needs and preferences.
4. Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness
An Arkular modular home can streamline the building process, making it more efficient and more cost-effective. By planning carefully and anticipating challenges, we can help avoid costly mistakes and delays during construction
A Modular Floorplan for Everyone – The L-shaped Design
Our in-house architects configured this classic layout to fit a variety of blocks of all shapes and sizes. An L-shaped floorplan provides practicality and room for adaptation.
The entrance takes place at the apex of the L, and to one side are the shared living room and kitchen areas, and to the other arm of the L is the private area of the house, the room corridor. Both the living room and bedrooms overlook the outdoor deck and the landscape.Â
As a result, this home can be upsized or downsized. It is perfect for a one-bedroom couples retreat or a larger four-bedroom family home. From the materiality (colours and finishes), inside out layout and sustainable features, this Arkular home can get this design to suit your style with the help of our clever architects.

An L-shaped Jindabyne Dream
The home is split into two wings allowing the occupants to acclimatise and adapt to the extreme weather conditions year-round.
Comprising 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a library and a study/office space this multi-functional home is well-equipped for rest, work, sleep and fun.
Clad in Japanese burnt timber, the structure recesses into the natural landscape and contrasts effortlessly with the bright white snow seen during the cooler months.
The house is entirely off-grid, with the inclusion of a 25,000L water tank and 15kw solar system. Through clever design choices and the inclusion of eco-friendly materials and technologies, this is a home both the client and the planet will feel good about.

A Sustainable Off-grid Haven with Separate Wings
The Fish Creek House was designed to maximise sustainability and liveability, with the spaces within being light-filled and naturally ventilated by using passive design principles.
Oriented towards the north to capture sunrise and moonlight. This careful positioning takes full advantage of natural cooling, heating, and lighting, reducing the need for artificial sources.
The home is split into two zones – entertaining and rest, connected together via a central entryway. This entry acts as an airlock, assisting in the climate & noise control within spaces.
The sleeping module was placed on the northwest side to provide privacy, views, and protection from cold winter winds.
The living zone takes advantage of cooling summer cross breezes thanks to accurately located windows and glass sliding doors.

Why not try the ‘U’ shape?
If the ‘T’ or ‘L’ layout isn’t the right fit for you, why not consider a U-shaped configuration? Located on sprawling farmland, the Bangalow Hinterland House is a private, off-grid U-shaped family retreat.
The U-shaped design offers refuge from the wind, whilst passive solar principles maximise exposure to the sun. Each room aligns effortlessly to celebrate the individuality of the site, with the free-flowing design opening across the landscape to merge land, sea and sky.
Requirements for an off-grid solution were driven not only by the client’s eco-consciousness but the remoteness and isolation of the site. This has created an empowering and independent lifestyle, with a positive environmental impact.

A Tassie Home that Cranks at 20 Degrees
The clients of our Huon Valley House sought an energy-efficient home, with considered spaces for a comfortable work-from-home lifestyle.
Responding sympathetically to the steep site the built form runs parallel to the contours, nesting down into the hill. The dwelling cranks at 20 degrees to follow the landscape, opening out towards the north with views across the conservation area.
The home is equipped with 1 main bedroom + ensuite, 2 kids’ bedrooms, a bathroom, 2 studies/ home offices to accommodate working from home and 1 gym/ guest room. A home the whole family, friends and guests can enjoy.
