pre-design /made personal
carefully considered pre-designed dwellings for the australian landscape
We deeply value the role of helping people and families create their homes & lifestyles; drawing on their uniqueness, individuality, and values as well as finding a deeper connection to their place within the natural world & community. We also value affordability, efficiency & looking after this earth, our habitat. In that spirit, we have developed a series of pre-designed small dwellings that provide a base that can be personalised by you, your place, and your lifestyle. These designs have been carefully put together with environmentally sustainable principles, biophilic design & human-centered design at their core. We are not a prefabrication company but the designs have the ability to utilise certain prefabrication methods if desired for further cost & assembly efficiency.
The designs could be a small dwelling, larger dwelling, ancillary/secondary dwelling, cabin, retreat, meditative space, home studio or workspaces, etc. allowing you to create the dream lifestyle you desire with a deep connection to place, nature & the Australian landscape.

landscape series
The landscape series is a selection of thoughtfully pre-designed plans that have intentionally been left as a floor plan layout that you can develop from the ground up with Habiter Studio. This gives you a deeply considered starting point to then customise and adapt to your unique desires and site requirements or restrictions. This will involve a slightly longer design process than a fully pre-designed dwelling but that’s the beauty of this option, you can visualise the plan on your site and spend time to make adjustments particular to your site, desires & needs.
