As architects we wanted to help out in some way with the re-building process of fire destroyed homes in Victoria. After much discussion and design amongst the office we present the House re-Growth Pod, a completely self contained concrete service pod.

It is a permanent and cost effective housing unit which can assist in the rebuilding of the fire devastated town-ships of Victoria.

 

The robust pre-fabricated concrete structure has been designed to be built upon, but in the short term acts as a habitable starting point for the building of a new home. The units can be prefabricated, delivered and connected to services rapidly allowing families to begin the process of re-building without displacement from their communities.

 

The House Pod is not just relief housing it is a starting block for the re-growth of regional Victoria. We have built a number of projects using concrete prefabrication technology and further information can be found on our website. More recently we have completed a 200 bed student residences across 4 sites in NSW working with Joss Construction.

 

The fabricator of the concrete modules, Ecotec Build Solutions are generously constructing a prototype which will be fitted out by Joss Construction and the kind donations of all our supporters.
