Quoll Cottage

Design Features

The Quoll Cottage is a compact, efficient design. Designed as a low-cost addition to the AlterecO2 range, the small footprint suits both urban blocks and rural living. The single pavilion home is inspired by the quintessential Australian rural cottage, with wide eaves and a sense of verandah to transition between external and internal living.

Quoll Cottage has two size options; The Small features two bedrooms, one with a study nook, one bathroom, cupboard laundry, within a total floor area of 103m2. The Medium has an additional wing housing a master suite, with an additional bedroom, robe and ensuite, increasing the floor area to 126m2.

While not essential, the external frame is designed as a SIPS system, and exposed timber portal frame lends itself to a plywood or OSB internal wall and/or ceiling linings. The roofline caters for a raked internal ceiling, allowing additional internal volume to breathe air into this compact home. Concrete-free footings allow for a flexibility of site, and while the house has been designed to meet BAL-29, upgrades to meet more stringent bushfire requirements can be catered for.
