Blok Belongil is five modular boxes disguised as a triangle.
A new beach house shortlisted for the 2024 NSW Architecture award for best home may convert naysayers who equate modular construction with outback dongas, demountable classrooms and shipping containers.
Architect Daniel Burnett, the founder of Blok Modular, said Blok Belongil was designed to show nearly anything was possible with modular construction. Stuart Vokes, co-director of architecture practice Vokes and Peters, said they wanted to challenge the expectation that a prefabricated house resulted in a “long skinny sausage.”“and invariably they are long so that they fit on a truck … but you can make a fat plan, with conventional spatial qualities and dimensions, out of modular.”
The modular home also meets local council rules requiring demountable buildings in areas affected by coastal erosion where homeowners may have to relocate. Some people have 12 hours, or 24 hours, to remove their homes.
