Cost-effective Modular Architecture Australia
Arkular specialises in modern modular architecture, designing sustainable and innovative modular spaces customised to you, your lifestyle and your site’s unique landscape.
From cost efficiencies to quicker build times through to efficient project management and higher quality control; offsite is the smarter way to build. Read on to learn more about why you should choose an Arkular modular home.
What is a Modular Home?
A modular home is a building that has been constructed off-site, with the modules delivered to the site, connected and installed to form a completed structure.
Modular homes are incredibly flexible when it comes to design, with full customisation available to showcase your lifestyle and needs. An Arkular modular home begins as an architectural design concept and is showcased as a 3D model with floorplans utilising CAD and BIM software.

Why Choose Arkular Modular Homes?
Our prefabricated buildings are manufactured by our team of world-class modular building partners in Victoria, NSW and Queensland.
The Benefits of Choosing PrefabÂ
Cost and time-saving
Prefabricated homes have a quicker turnaround due to efficient design and effective manufacturing processes, resulting in cost-saving benefits.
Energy efficiency
Arkular’s modular homes employ energy-efficient design principles to maximise heating and cooling proficiency.
Flexibility
Our modules form limitless design combinations allowing you to create the modular home of your dreams.
Easy
Our buildings are easy to transport and install due to the use of standardised materials.
Aesthetically Pleasing
The completed building will have architectural quality and blend seamlessly into its new surroundings.
Customised Architectural Solutions
We provide considered architectural design tailored to you, your site and the surrounding landscape.
We design homes that change and adapt as you do, incorporating:Â
• Passive design principles
• Clever spatial planning
• Considered design features
• Designing big rather than building big, paying careful attention to material sizes and dimensions, to maximise product usage and reduce wastage
• Understanding the needs of the dwellings surrounding the environment
• A minimalist approach to encapsulate your lifestyle centred on clean and uncluttered living
Need some inspiration for your custom prefab modular home? Whether it be a coastal, urban or rural abode, an off-grid living haven or a universally equipped home, our custom projects will be sure to inspire you.

Clever Modular Floorplans for a Smart Prefab Home
A quality floor plan is an essential starting point for any Arkular design.
A floorplan provides a way to visualise a dwelling’s layout, ensuring you can move through spaces freely and allow for any potential challenges or advantages to be identified. It creates flow, considers the best use of natural light and adds valuable space to any home.
We take great care in crafting a floorplan that works for you, your lifestyle and your family, enhancing liveability and providing versatility and flexibility for evolving needs.

Cost Saving Benefits
Arkular provides cost-effective modular architectural design responses that meet your brief and budget.
Streamlined processes, shorter build times and reduced labour costs all contribute to affordability from concept to contract. At Arkular, resources are directed towards well-considered design and high-quality materials, instead of being wasted on delays seen within traditional building methods.
Less time spent worrying about building a home, more time enjoying it.
How Arkular provides cost-saving benefits:
• Every client has an accurate idea of costs at the very first design presentation, providing a clear design direction.
• We have an impressive, comprehensive and transparent standard inclusions list.
• Our processes are streamlined, guaranteeing sharp turnarounds and fast completions.
• We provide exceptional project value across a mere 8 to 12 months for the entire process (timings depend on site and council).

Fast-Tracked Timelines
Designed smarter to go up faster. Prefabricated to maximise efficiency, minimise time frames and streamline processes.
Our prefabricated homes have a quicker turnaround due to efficient design and effective manufacturing processes
Our 3-step Process
Our process is simplified over 3 phases, with our highly specialised and experienced team project managing throughout every step. These phases define your journey through concept, design, documentation and delivery.
From the initial creative concept to council works and the exciting interior fit-out, right through to managing the amazing build and installation by our allied manufacturing partner – we have you covered.
Arkular honours its commitment to delivering projects promptly with full transparency and excellent communication through the design, build, and delivery process. View more about our process here
Sustainability & Homes for the Future
Thinking ahead about what we leave behind. We utilise Passive and Biophilic design elements and integrate circularity to minimise waste, maximise energy efficiency and support well-being.
We integrate Biophilic Design through:
Visual connections with surrounding nature and natural elements, non-visual connections with nature (textures, materials and sun patches, access to thermal and airflow variability (shade, seasonal vegetation, radiant heat), the presence of water, dynamic and diffused light and prioritising prospect, refuge and mystery.
We utilise Passive Design by:
Working alongside the local climate to maintain a comfortable year-round temperature, considering orientation, thermal mass, insulation and glazing to take advantage of natural sources of heating and cooling, such as sun and breezes, and to minimise unwanted heat gain and loss.
Arkular’s Circular Approach to DesignÂ
At Arkular, we are mindful of our environmental impact throughout each phase of a home’s life cycle – from concept to completion and beyond.
Our homes are designed for:
• Recyclability
• Resource efficiency
• Energy efficiency in use
• Longevity/durability
• Repair, reuse and disassembly
