The prefabrication specialist Blok Modular has worked with Australian architectural studio -Vokes and Peters to create Blok Three Sisters, a trio prefabricated holiday homes on North Stradbroke Island in Queensland.
The series of houses was designed by Vokes and Peters for three sisters who spent a long time on the premises near Brisbane childhood, and wanted to continue these holidays together with their own large families.
Blok Three Sisters was prefabricated in the Brisbane Factory of Blok Modular before it was hit to the location and compiled by a local building contractor.
The project was durated in the Dezeen Awards 2025 residential category.
Each house has an identical layout. In order to enable every family in old age and conveniently organize older relatives, the ground floor can act as an independent step -free apartment.
A front bedroom in every house is separated from the rear social rooms by a small inner courtyard garden with a small wooden deck.
“The houses are individually designed in the run -up to adaptation and further developing household population and flexible and demands on them to do justice to changes in family dynamics,” said Vokes and Peters.
“As buildings, the terrace houses become repository's common holiday memories and the recording of family life and the course of time,” added.
On the first floor of the houses there are two more bedrooms next to a Skylit bathroom. One of these bedrooms overlooks the central courtyard, while the other looks at the street through a large window.
The front facades have high -ranking windows for privacy and are lined with screens of white wooden boards. These screens contain sliding doors that open in verands.
On the back of the site, each house opens to a portico with double heights in a deep opening in white fiber cement panels and adorned with wood.
These verands offer a protected and private space to look over a common garden, which large trees hugged, which every house can access over a series of wide wooden levels.
Blok's dining and kitchen areas of three sisters open in this portico and garden through glass doors in full, while an increased living area offers moving windows that offer a vantage over the Pacific.
“As an archetypal spatial device, the garden collects the sensory delicacies of the backdrop alongside the daily domestic rituals,” said the studio.
“The taste of the salty onshore breeze, the clarity of the moon at the fibro, the echo of the crashing waves, the fragrance of local jasmine, the restorative feeling of deep shadow in summer,” he added.
Other prefabricated residential projects that were recently presented on Dezen are Superbungalows on Marathon in Los Angeles from Superla, a block of nine apartments made of mass wood and a Norwegian house from Office Inainn, which is modeled on Slate.
