Located in Hobart, Tasmania, Taroona House is a 2,600-square-foot residence built using a timber prefab building system developed by architecture firm Archier.

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.

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