This coastal home by ArchiBlox shows how thoughtful design and sustainable building can come together in a short timeframe. Completed in just six weeks, the two-bedroom residence combines modern comfort with eco-friendly features, all while embracing its stunning seaside location.

The house was prefabricated offsite and then transported to its final location, reducing disruption to the landscape. Its exterior is wrapped in FSC-certified blackbutt hardwood timber, sourced from sustainable forestry methods, giving the home a natural yet durable finish that weathers beautifully in a coastal environment -- via Contemporist

Archiblox - Yes, it's true we love to design and build beautiful buildings but equally important we feel strongly about giving back to the community and the environment.

Archiblox - Our planet has finite resources and limited atmospheric tolerance for man-made pollution for human habitation as we know it.

As Architects, we have unique opportunities to connect to the natural landscape. We shape people’s lives through design and can use our tools of the trade to increase quality of life through this connection.

We ‘walk the talk’ by our Plant-a-Tree program with our commitment to the Australian Native Reforestation to ensure that we can manage our own carbon footprint. Archiblox has partnered with Carbon Neutral and Etool to minimise our impact on the environment by working with them to measure, reduce and offset our greenhouse gas emissions.
