This is a project we’re proud to share before completion. It captures the scale, capability, and flexibility of modular construction — and the trust placed in us to deliver something that goes beyond the expected. We’ll continue to update this gallery as the home reaches its final stages.
Chris and Rebecca Stannage’s home is one of the most ambitious projects we are currently completing — a multi-module, off-grid residence set within a remarkable landscape.
It’s a project that truly demonstrates what modular construction can become when it’s done well… thoughtful, grounded, and built to last in a place that matters.
Months of planning, testing, and refinement have come together in this three-module home, designed by first-time rural landowners with a vision of establishing a multi-generational family farm residence in Cavan, within the Yass Valley.
Spanning over 240m² of internal living space, with an additional 70m² of decking, the home is positioned to maximise light and take in the surrounding landscape. The layout separates accommodation and living zones while maintaining a strong sense of connection — a balance that becomes immediately apparent when walking through the modules in the factory.
The accommodation module is a standout in its own right — a 19.19m long module housing three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry. The end bedrooms, each approximately 4.6m x 3.2m, reflect a deliberate move away from compromise, prioritising space, comfort, and long-term liveability.
Behind the walls, every detail has been carefully considered. A full steel structure forms the backbone of the build, providing precision during fabrication and strength throughout transport and installation. Double-glazed windows are used throughout, paired with high-performance insulation systems designed to deliver real comfort in everyday living. While the site did not require a high bushfire rating, the home has been voluntarily constructed to BAL-29 standards for windows and doors, reinforcing a “sleep easy” approach to resilience.
Externally, the material palette is beginning to take shape. Monument cladding provides a strong, clean base, while corten steel feature walls introduce warmth, texture, and a sense of permanence as they weather over time. These elements, combined with angled rooflines and carefully placed openings, create a home that sits comfortably in the landscape rather than competes with it.
Like many rural builds, the site has played a key role in shaping the outcome. Early civil discussions led to practical decisions — including repositioning key elements of the broader property layout — ensuring the project remained buildable and sensible without losing its original intent. From pier installation through to access, turning circles, and future shed positioning, this is a project where careful planning has truly mattered.
Inside, there’s already a strong sense of what the finished home will feel like. Oversized windows draw in light and views, while details such as window controller placements, feature finishes, and material transitions are being refined in real time. It’s a reminder that while modular construction brings speed and precision, the best outcomes still come from ongoing, careful decision-making.
