Delivering sustainable,
affordable housing.

Mission

At Uncommon, we’re making uncommon living commonplace.

We believe the best urban design is one that connects. Our housing system connects modern construction methods with high-performance building components, creating healthier homes and spaces that can be delivered faster than conventional construction.

With shared utilities, biophilic design and thoughtful communal spaces, we connect people to their wider community, their neighbourhoods and nature.

  • 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.
