SHACK.house
Cottage and Short Stay Lots
The SHACK.house Collection is inspired by a simpler lifestyle reflected in the humble beach shacks found in the region. Simple, robust, informal.
With raking ceilings opening up to a northern alfresco, these homes are filled with natural light and all rooms face onto their own private courtyards ensuring privacy and space to retreat from the elements. Natural timbers are juxtaposed with vertical cladding and burnished concrete floors to provide a considered simplicity that is both informal and welcoming. A place to kick off your shoes and appreciate the natural surrounds and sunsets while enjoying the fine wines and produce to be found on your doorstep in the region.
Available in 2 x 1 , 2 x 2 and 3 x 2 configurations, the SHACK collection is suitable for Cottage , Groupie and Short Stay Lots. .
“ My dream is to have a house near the beach, even just a little shack somewhere so I can wake up, have coffee, watch the sunrise, be quiet and breathe the air”

The SHACK house collection is characterised by vertical cladding which is achieved by using Abodo Vulcan thermally modified timber or by James Hardie’s Scyon ‘Axon’ cladding. The standard finish is the Axon cladding which can be painted to personal preference.

We use FSC* thermally modified timber cladding from Abodo to comply with the strict sustainability criteria of the Ecovillage. Low maintenance, termite resistant and with a warranty of 25 years, Vulcan timber cladding is one of the most sustainable building materials available and sequesters carbon for the lifetime of the building. Abodo cladding can be used up to a BAL rating of 19 with certain design considerations.
