Quoll House
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 veranda 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.

What’s in a name?
The Quoll House is named for the Northern Quoll, once populous around Australia but in fast decline dure to habitat loss. The quolls inhabit a wide range of environments, ranging from the coastal heathlands, sub-alpine woodlands, temperate woodlands and forests, riparian forests and wet sclerophyll forests.
