ArchiBlox » Sustainability - Smart - Eco - Water - Efficiency

PASSIVE SOLAR AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PRINCPLES Our mission at Archiblox is to design, construct and landscape sustainable prefabricated modular homes that recognize innovation, passive solar principles, energy savings and the environment.

OUR "STAND OUT" ADVANTAGE Our outstanding designs, workmanship and use of sustainable quality materials all contribute to our unique difference and design/build advantage.

WE “DESIGN BIG” RATHER THAN “BUILD BIG” We design homes for life, ensuring that areas and rooms can be used for more than one purpose to maximise usage, we design big rather than build big.” says Bill McCorkell.

FUTURE PROOFING Our modular homes are designed and built for sustainable performance and longevity for future generations to come.

We were tired of seeing homes being built with little consideration for the environment and household running costs. We wanted to offer an alternative, We do.

Smart Design

Smart design is the most important factor that lays the foundation for a successful prefabricated sustainable modular building.

Passive solar design
We are passionate about taking advantage of natural climate to maintain thermal comfort. Our modular homes are orientated to maximize passive heating and passive cooling.

Design to use less
By using smart, innovative design techniques we make a space feel larger than it is. We design areas that can be used for more than one purpose.

Our homes are designed with consideration for material sizes and dimensions to maximize product usage whilst reducing material wastage. ArchiBlox "designs big" rather than "builds big".

Design for longevity
Our homes are designed and built for longevity, minimal maintenance and for future generations to use.

Eco Materials

ArchiBlox focuses on building with sustainable materials that are durable and low maintenance. We strive to use as many renewable and recycled products as possible.

Double glazed argon filled windows are used to capture and maintain stable internal temperatures
We integrate thermal mass into the home to stabilise and store internal temperatures
Highly insulated construction techniques to provide 8 star energy ratings
Light coloured roofing materials to reflect radiant heat from the sun

Water Conservation

Water is precious! Every living thing on this planet depends on a clean, healthy water supply and this dependency connects us all to each other.

Reduce water intake
We use AAA water consumption appliances, fixtures and fittings like dual flush toilets, low flow showerheads, solar and instantaneous hot water services to reduce water intake and energy.

Re-use water
We offer rain water harvesting systems such as water tanks or bladders to service toilet, laundry, bathroom and kitchen utilities.

Landscaping
Sustainable landscaping with drought tolerant plants, permeable pathways for natural filtration, greywater systems, green roofs, designer vegetable gardens are also items that ArchiBlox incorporates.

Energy Efficiency

ArchiBlox homes are designed to maximize energy efficiency through a highly efficient building envelope.

This is achieved by energy efficient; heating and cooling, electrical appliances and lighting.

We also offer a high quality range of photovoltaic power and solar hws systems allowing us to capture as much natural energy as possible.

Passive Solar
ArchiBlox designs homes to fit the sun, wind, and weather patterns specific to a building site. Wise use of a home’s natural environment can offer the most cost effective energy savings available.

Healthy Home

Healthy homes are important in any living, work or play space. We design our homes to maximize the air flow and natural light that keeps spaces bright and clean for you and your family.

Non-off-gassing materials
Low formaldehyde products and voc paints are chosen to improve air quality and protect the health of your family.

Open, spacious layouts
Our open, spacious layouts maximize airflow and naturally create a more harmonious vibe for its occupants.

Hard Floor Surfaces
Using hard floor surfaces protects against allergens and moulds that might thrive in hard to clean carpeting.
