Design Concepts

All SWALE’s designs focus on the fundamental belief that through ecological sustainability you can severely reduce life cycle costs, creating a home you can truly relax in, rather than have the financial strain of monthly bills.

SWALE work very closely with a 16 year relationship to reduce the huge capital outlay required to build the structure and finishes of your home. Using large NEW shipping containers custom built in Vietnam, currently not seen in Australia, SWALE provides a Henry Ford production system that creates economies of scale to severely reduce the capital outlay. This then allows these homes to have the high-end finishes often left out of building due budget constraints or to running out of money due to variations.

The large containers hold beautiful proportion unlike the conventional containers currently used today. This not only allows a quick, fun and affordable way of building but gives so much more;

SWALE’s concepts provide:

•  affordable, higher quality finishes
• huge cost savings on design and consultants
• incredible engineering strength to obtain cantilevers for free
• the ability to build in remote locations without housing labour
• the ability to build on any element from water to cliffs
• SWALE believes in your health and provides a home to relax in and rejuvenate.

'Most of all we have the pleasure of providing an affordable, risk free, quick, fun process where an owner is invited to play a large role in ‘Building their own home’
