Fresh off the drawing boards of our architects: new designs

A new series of designs has emerged from our creative workshop that takes advantage of the outdoor lifestyle here in Vanuatu. These homes are each designed in a pavilion style and employ traditional Melanesian (island style) roof lines.

The following designs are just now being perfected and these links will be updated on a regular basis as we finalise the details of each plan.

Nabanga
Efficient and economical new design

Breezeway
Modular design is easily expandable

Sea Breeze
Great living areas and pool area behind.

Outrigger
Unique layout produces great views from bedrooms

“We had the cyclone shutters in place a few days before Cyclone Pam hit Port Vila. The location of my house was somewhat worrisome as it was on a hilltop with a view and very prone to the south-easterly winds. Furthermore I was apprehensive about the material my house was made of. I had everything packed and covered fearing the worst. Moved my elderly Mum to my brothers concrete house further down the hill which ‘looked’ much safer. I was overwhelmed with mixed emotions after the storm as I walked back to my house the next morning. I was wordless for once in my life. Apart from a broken shutter and gutter along the front, my lil house stood humble but firm on the hilltop without any damage. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Stu and his boys at Vanua Disaen for an extraordinary job in designing and building my house. Tankyu tumas.”

Hi Stu and team, Thanks for the photos and congratulations on completing the build to such a high quality standard in such a short time. It certainly looks like everyone has settled in well. I’m sure the activities there will enrich the lives of people for many years to come. Thanks to all for your fabulous efforts in getting this centre up and running. It’s been an interesting and rewarding project to be involved in and the team at Box Hill Institute would like to commend you on your obvious commitment to the task, your high level of competency in craftsmanship and your can-do attitude. It’s been a pleasure to be involved in these activities in Vanuatu.
