Dhammasara Nuns Monastery

Dhammasara Nuns Monastery Tiny Home

Approximate build time 10 weeks

A custom retreat modular build located on 583 acres of beautiful, natural bushland property in the hills, a 45-minute drive from the city on the Dhammasara Nun Monastery.

The build is based on our double modular layout, but was customised to be narrower at 6.8m x 3m to accommodate the tricky site. The brief of this job was to be functional but meet the aesthetics of pre-existing buildings as well as fitting in with the natural surrounds, whilst still delivering a good quality build. The home was delivered uphill up a steep gravel track and craned onto a narrow site surrounded by bushland and trees. The soil at the site was very hard, which we compensate by using a Surefoot concrete-free footing system which doesn’t require digging into the ground and laying concrete, which is a great option for difficult to build on sites.

Physical features:
  • Double glazed windows to increase thermal and acoustic efficiency
  • UPVC cladding in keeping with the style of existing buildings on site by request of the client
  • Bondor roof panelling for thermal efficiency and ease of construction
  • Lightweight steel frame with gyprock lining
  • LED bar lights as per clients request
  • Hybrid flooring as per client request
