Prefabrication specialist Blok Modular has worked with Australian architecture studio Vokes and Peters to create Blok Three Sisters, a trio of prefabricated<\/a> holiday homes on North Stradbroke Island in Queensland<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The row of houses was designed by Vokes and Peters for three sisters who spent childhood holidays on the site near Brisbane, and wanted to continue these shared vacations with their own extended families.<\/p>\n

Blok Three Sisters was prefabricated in Blok Modular’s Brisbane factory before being craned onto the site and assembled by a local builder.<\/p>\n

The project has been longlisted in the housing<\/a> category of Dezeen Awards 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each house has an identical layout. To accommodate each family as they age and also comfortably host older relatives, the ground floor of each one can operate as a standalone step-free apartment.<\/p>\n

A front bedroom in each home is separated from the rear social spaces by a small courtyard garden with a small timber deck.<\/p>\n

“Individually, the houses are designed with agility and flexibility in mind, in anticipation of the adapting and evolving household population and demands on them to accommodate change in family dynamics,” said Vokes and Peters.<\/p>\n

“As buildings, the terrace houses become repositories of shared holiday memories and record family life and the passing of time,” it added.<\/p>\n

\"Courtyard

On the first floor of the homes, two additional bedrooms are located alongside a skylit bathroom. One of these bedrooms overlooks the central courtyard, while the other looks out to the street through a large window.<\/p>\n

For privacy, the front facades have high-level windows and are lined with screens of white timber planks. These screens incorporate sliding doors that open into porches.<\/p>\n
