Maximising space for a young family - 2022

This Minor dwelling or Minor Housing Unit (MHU) creates a moderate family home by coupling a main dwelling with a SIPs double car garaging plus loft / storage space.

In close proximity to the extended family home, this independent semi off-grid home was achievable on family land, and utilises a high-performance envelope and efficient plan to create comfortable affordable family living.

About the
Professional

At Vitruvion we design and build sustainable high performance housing for you to enjoy now and for future generations.

Using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) with other manufactured systems our buildings are faster to build onsite, more durable, and cost less to run.

Better for you, better for the planet.

Your home should reflect you, your taste, your site, your budget, without compromising performance.

​Choose one of our customisable designs, we’ll individualise it for you and you get to build and move in more quickly. Or we can architecturally design a home that’s perfect for you and your site.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
