Private residence, King Island, Australia

Using Geopanel, a husband and wife to build their own private residence on remote King Island, Australia, combining sustainable profitability, contemporary design, and a commitment to preserving the island’s natural beauty.

Located between Tasmania and mainland Australia, King Island offers spectacular scenery but poses severe building challenges, including:

• Limited local supply options, 
• Frequent rain and winds reaching 100 km/h,
• Dependence on a single concrete provider,
• Costly, complex transport, often requiring delivery by plane.

Allcon, our long-standing Australian partner, introduced Geopanel as the ideal solution. Made from recycled plastic, it allowed the homeowner to work independently, offering:

• Compact, lightweight panels that are easy to move and carry,
• Tool-free, manual assembly,
• Reliable performance in extreme weather,
• Simple dismantling and reuse,
• Fully recyclable material.

Geopanel also enhanced the home’s aesthetics, delivering a bold exposed concrete surface that perfectly matched the clean, modern geometry of the building.
