Delivering sustainable,
affordable housing.

We are Uncommon

Uncommon Living is an innovative housing model delivering high-performance, sustainable homes. Using site-specific prefabrication and communal infrastructure, we make exceptional living more accessible, more resilient and more connected.

We believe that good design combined with modern building technology can make high amenity, low-carbon, healthy homes accessible to everyone.

Our system features

  • Affordable.

    We create homes of exceptional quality that are economical to build and cost less to live in.

  • Fast.

    Off-site fabrication and rapid assembly allow us to deliver homes faster. Less time on site reduces costs and limits the impact on neighbours.

  • Minimum Impact.

    We limit demolition and excavation wherever possible, reducing cost, time and environmental impact.

  • Sustainable.

    We utilise sustainable timber framing, mass timber and low-carbon concrete, minimising each building’s carbon footprint.

  • Reusable.

    The building components can be modified, disassembled and reused, adapting to address future needs.

  • Replicable.

    Rapid, simple assembly does not require specialised trades, allowing high-quality homes to be built in regional and remote areas.

  • High-performance.

    The insulated facade system and high-performance glazing reduce the need for heating and cooling by up to 90%.

  • Healthy.

    Heat recovery ventilation systems filter and circulate air, minimising airborne pollution and providing ventilation without the need for open windows.

  • Quiet.

    The facade limits external noise, while the ventilation system allows windows to stay closed, making the system ideal for busy roads, adjacent to railways and underneath flight paths.

  • Low carbon.

    Efficient homes, rooftop solar and on-site energy storage minimise carbon emissions and reduce operating costs.

Uncommon solutions to common challenges.

Complex infill sites. Traffic Noise. Sensitive urban areas.

Our versatile design solutions and low-impact construction allows us to build homes where they are most needed.

Uncommon Partners

  • Our investors are taking advantage of our ability to unlock difficult infill sites and deliver premium quality housing. We are lessening their risk exposure due to our shorter build times and ability to deliver at price parity to conventional construction.

  • We are working with local and federal government agencies on addressing the housing crisis from two sides, with better quality housing and delivering the ‘missing middle’ at scale. Our system helps unlock sites that have stalled, reduces community disruption and lessens the impact on the local area.

  • We are working with Not-For-Profits and Community Housing Providers to help provide those in need with a better way to live, not just a place to live. Our buildings deliver better outcomes for residents like a healthier home (low mould, thermal comfort, noise regulation), a lower cost-of-living (lower utility bills) and connection with community and nature.

  • Our collaborative network, built through purposeful procurement, is composed of like-minded organisations who want to deliver sustainable, high-quality housing while adhering to strict budget management and efficient processes.
