HOUSE2.0 Live in Tomorrow

TEKTUM BUILDING SOLUTIONS P.3

TEKTUM’s HOUSE2.0 is the next generation of cost effective, ready-made buildings that can be quickly installed anywhere in Australia; A true Plug-and-Play solution.

HOUSE2.0 is environmentally sustainable, safe and most importantly looks and feels like traditionally constructed high quality building. However, HOUSE2.0 is much smarter than traditionally constructed buildings.

Built under controlled factory conditions and applying mass-manufacturing techniques HOUSE2.0 has achieved a dramatic reduction in the traditional cost of construction, whilst delivering the spatial qualities and standard of finish usually reserved for bespoke architecturally designed buildings.

With a ‘flat pack’ approach to transportation, based on the dimensions of a standard shipping container, HOUSE2.0 brings the benefits of the best contemporary architectural design and high quality construction within the economic reach of more Australians.

MAINTENANCETEKTUM will change the way buildings are maintained. By offering an ongoing maintenance regime, customers can ensure that HOUSE2.0 will retain optimal operation performance during its entire life cycle. Because of the modularity of its product, TEKTUM’s maintenance crew’s will have the ability to replace elements rather than repairing on site.

Lower maintenance cost start with product selection. All finishes, cladding materials and services are carefully chosen by TEKTUM to ensure the lowest possible “whole of life” cost.

BucaSIa BEacH HOMEModel S_421nu - 2BEd 1BaTH uNIVErSaL

Set on the northern beaches of tropical Mackay in north Queensland, Bucasia is a sleepy family oriented suburb.

TEKTUM’s HOUSE2.0 was completed in July 2012, in the week prior to the Queensland Mining Expo, and caused quite a stir with locals, expo delegates and the media, with the speed of installation taking most by surprise!

Open as a display home for six months, the house proved to be a very popular stop over with staff and clients, all of whom commented on the quality of the acoustics; the cross flow ventilation; and the high quality of the “space” as well as the finishes.

The Bucasia beach house has a 1.5kw Photo voltaic system; solar hot water; double glazing; achieved 6.3 stars under NaTHERS’ and is cyclone Cat C rated. It is a Model 40 version of HOUSE2.0, and can be configured as a two or three bedroom, with one bathroom. Bigger versions (Model 60 and 70) can be configured as four bedroom, two bathroom homes.

CASE STUDIES

TEKTuM HOuSING SOLuTIONModel S_432nq - 3BEd 2BaTH QuEENSLaNdEr

Many parts of Australia are flood prone, and the traditional “Queenslander” became the predominant response to the threat of flooding in many of these areas.

TEKTUM’s variant is essentially the standard HOUSE2.0 (such as the Bucasia Beach House) but elevated and with the sub-floor area enclosed for storage, car parking or informal entertainment. The cross breezes, and expansive shading offered by the format make the Queenslander and ideal layout for any area subject to the intensity of either rain or sun found across sections of the continent.

National Disability Living Solutions has contracted TEKTUM to develop a cluster of housing for a small community of people with special living requirements. Accessible bathrooms; attention to transition from vertical to horizontal surfaces; elimination of even the smallest trip hazard; and the use of colour and integrated landscape will all combine to make this a safe a and exceptionally pleasant environment for its residents.

Having designed the HOUSE2.0 platform from the outset to be adaptable to these and a host of other requirements, NDLS’s specification weas easily adopted for the Wodonga project.

The houses are currently in production, and the project is due to be handed over in June 2013.
