One House is a prototype created by Suncorp, in collaboration with James Cook University, CSIRO and Room11 Architects to help us understand how resilience against extreme weather can be incorporated into house design.
We can’t prevent extreme weather – but we can make our homes better equipped to withstand it. With this in mind, we set out to design, build and test a prototype house that we could learn from. One that would help to show us what it will take to build a safer, more resilient Australia.
