ANOTHER WHITE GEM!

Happy Haus
WHITE SERIES

Owen+Vokes










You could glance at this first image and briefly mistake it for a house in a 'suburban setting' - oh how nice it would be to have no fences? - anyway on closer review you'll notice it's a/the White Series Happy Haus by architects Owen and Vokes, located in southbank, corner grey and tribune streets.


So what's a Happy Haus?? Here is some recent press that best describes what it's all about... GREEN MAGAZINE article

Gardens and water storage have also been considered (pineapples in the garden look tasty, give them a few weeks and they be ready for picking)
it's great to see an example of (prefab) sustainable architecture pop up in the flesh - a positive step towards educating the general public!
