Case Study

Proof you can walk into.

Our Tetris modular show house was built in just 10 days, and it has captivated our clients and drawn the attention of prospective home and business owners ever since.

It was designed as a working demonstration of the ISM modular system: a compact, comfortable one-bedroom home with an open-plan kitchen that feels bright and airy, finished to the standard of conventional construction, and delivered on a fraction of the timeline.

Materials

What the Tetris show house is made of.

Three layers, each chosen for durability, comfort and a clean finish inside and out.

Show house exterior fibre cement cladding
01 — Exterior

Fibre cement panels

Weather-resistant exterior walls with a clean, visually appealing finish that stands up to sun and rain.

Show house detail
02 — Insulation

100 mm Styrofoam

Continuous insulation through the walls and roof keeps the interior at a comfortable, stable temperature.

Show house interior with gypsum walls
03 — Interior

Gypsum wall finish

Smooth gypsum walls give the interior a seamless, fully finished look — indistinguishable from conventional build.

Off-site Construction & Delivery

From factory floor to front door.

Building off-site keeps quality controlled and site disruption to a minimum — and shows how easily our modules travel and install.
