Located on a former dairy farm in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range in Victoria, Australia, the residence is part of a vegetative regeneration project. The floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around the home meet the owner’s request to feel connected to the land throughout the retreat.

Yandoit House was built using Candour’s structural glazed facade system, wall panels, and exposed rafter ceiling cassettes, as well as its design software and manufacturing facility.

Designed for a couple, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom home totals 1,722 square feet with a square plan and flat roof.

Candour is a prefab building system and a tool to customize building components within that system—including walls, floors, facades, and roofs—with a proprietary CAD plug-in. Users of the software can draft a design, determine if it’s feasible, and price it all in one day. Designs are built at Candour’s manufacturing facility in Sunshine, Melbourne.

Completed in December 2023, Yandoit House was designed by Archier and prefabricated by Candour.
