Wombat House

Floor area: 176m2 (excluding garage/carport and decking)

Designed for a narrow site and optimised for north to rear or north to side orientation, the wombat is a contemporary design with an aggressive mono-pitched roofline, creating voluminous internal spaces.

Designed as a 3-4 bedroom home, the Wombat House has flexibility to have the master bedroom either upstairs or downstairs. It contains 3 bathrooms, plus a well lit study nook.

Gabled indoor and outdoor living zone, with the siting and dining opening onto the covered deck.

Single garage with storage. 

Windows are triple glazed and can be either all-Australian hardwood, or an alu-clad timber frame, with a powder coated aluminium outer layer of a colour chosen to match any palate.

The Wombat House is named for the Hairy-Nosed Wombat, the largest and most secretive of the wombat species. On the brink of extinction in the 80s with a population down to 35, dedicated efforts to predator fencing and habitat management program has increased the population to 300. The population is still vulnerable to disease or natural disaster, with efforts underway to establish more colonies in other parts of Queensland.
