Creating Arks for
Healthier Lives.

Nature-Powered Future.

At Arkular, we use passive design principles including, orientation, shading, insulation, glazing, and sealing to create high performing homes that connect with the natural environment. Utilising these elements ensures a comfortable year-round temperature and dramatically reduces household running costs.

Solar Harvesting.

All Arkular dwellings capture and utilise solar energy to meet the building’s energy needs, integrating solar energy, passive design principles and innovative materials to reduce reliance on non-renewable resources.

High Performing Buildings.

Airtight, Thermal, and Energy-efficient buildings.

Our buildings are designed to block out high summer sun and optimise cooling summer night breezes. In winter, we maximise sun penetration into the building, trapping it, storing it and then releasing it to minimise reliance on artificial heating.

Sustainable features are recommended throughout, including grid-connected solar power systems, solar hot water systems, Energy E LED lights, electricity usage meters and maximum star-rated electrical appliances.

Healthy environments.

Nothing is more important than fostering safe, healthy environments to live and thrive in. We use Low-VOC timber, paints, adhesives, and sealants and formaldehyde-free products to improve air quality and protect the health of occupants. We also consider strategic window placement to maximise cross-flow ventilation to further improve indoor air quality.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
and Regenerate.

Waste Reduction.

We design big rather than build big, paying careful attention to material sizes and dimensions to maximise product usage and reduce waste.

Water is a precious commodity.

We treat it as such by helping to reduce, re-use and recycle the water consumed in your project. This includes using water-saving plumbing fittings, rainwater tanks and water-saving appliances.

Sustainable Materials.

Arkular prides itself on using sustainably sourced and environmentally certified materials in construction such as plantation FSC timbers, insulation batts and joinery.

Off-Grid Modular Homes.

We are the designers of the first-ever carbon-positive modular building. We know all the tricks to rip the band-aid off and take your life off-grid.

Aimed at those who want the very best in cutting-edge sustainable technologies. We explore systems to generate renewably sourced power, harvest rainwater, and re-use greywater. Our building systems will include green roof and wall systems to further insulate the envelope and mitigate heat loss and gain through its fabric.

These recommendations will make it possible to remove power and water bills, creating a space that will improve wellbeing and positively impact upon your health and the planet that we all inhabit.

Fire Rated
Modular Homes.

Designing & Building a Home in Bushfire Prone Areas.

Arkular homes are built using durable materials as a standard that can, with modifications, accommodate all BAL rating requirements all the way to Flame Zone with substitutions in materials.

We can work with most sites pending access for our modules according to the site’s rating.
