Queensland designer Kevin Higgins has produced a modular prefabricated and easily transportable Bush House titled 'Studio One'.
The passively cooled Studio One creates an elegant light filled space that seems to float above the forest floor. This is architecture that imposes a minimal impact on the environment both in terms of installation and use.

| Studio One: Modular Bush House |
Envisioned as artists retreat attuned to the Australian climate the Studio was designed and created in the Eumundi hinterland of Queensland's Sunshine Coast. The Studio is designed to accommodate one or two people in tropical comfort; taking just one day to erect and if needed, a day to disassemble to transport to another location. The Studio can be bought as a 'build to lock-up and first-fix' or in kit form for self-assembly.
Throughout his career Higgins has adapted Japanese post-and-beam construction methods to produce lovingly crafted joinery in Australian hardwood, balancing the use of both natural and manufactured materials to make dwellings in perfect tune with the Australian climate.
