After noticing a void in the market, Australian entrepreneur Oscar Martin partnered with architect Peter Stutchbury to start Dimensions X, a company that will soon offer affordable and architecturally pleasing prefab homes.

The 968 square-foot prototype called OM-1 has been shortlisted for the New South Wales Australian Institute of Architects 2022 awards for sustainability and new houses.

Stutchbury, Martin, along with their lead-architect and collaborator, Alejo de Achaval, designed the first prototype, a 968 square-foot space with skylights called OM-1, which has been shortlisted for the New South Wales Australian Institute of Architects 2022 awards for sustainability and new houses.

Every Dimensions home is completely customizable.

The home is concrete-free. Cross-laminated timber is a resilient and energy-efficient substitute.

The Dimensions homes can be used for a wide-range of applications, from granny flats to primary homes and offices.

The environmental skylight system floods the space with natural light.

The team employed a concrete-free foundation called Surefoot Footing, enabling the home to be situated on any site with minimal disruption to the land.

Instead of installing rooftop solar panels, Alqadi and his friend and partner in the venture, Hillary Flur, built a “solar tree” to provide energy.
