Archiblox FAQs - Modular Home Roof Styles & Ceiling Heights Archiblox FAQs - Modular Home Roof Styles & Ceiling Heights

At Archiblox, we have in-house Architects & builders, therefore we can design a variety of styles with assorted sizes for ceilings and rooves. Modular homes are just as versatile as insitu construction. Read on to see some of the typical styles our clients choose.

For modernist lovers everywhere, this shape is sleek and chic. Great for urban settings to make the most out of height restrictions and the size of your home. Don’t be fooled by the name, while this roof is defined as flat it is actually slightly pitched on a low angle for water runoff and debris.

At Archiblox, this style is one of our signatures. While appearing flat, parapet walls are built around a low angled roof to meet the height of the pitch and give the dwelling that crisp, clean finish.

Utilizing the roof space for a garden is an excellent eco addition for your home. Not only do they look amazing but they absorb sunlight, water and redirect rainwater, provide insulation, create habitat for wildlife, help to lower urban air temperatures & and your carbon emissions.

A classic design. The Gabled roof is recognizable thanks to its triangular shape, consisting of two planes that slope in opposite directions with the highest point in the middle.

Often attributed to the barn style aesthetic, these roofs are great for drama and can still be modern with its organic straight lines. They are also well suited for smaller spaces, giving lots of height to rooms and the illusion of more area. They also offer the ability to create lofts or attic zones for storage or space sleeping areas.

The skillion roof is a flat roof with a significant visible pitch. Normally just one side of the roof surface will be sloping. This type of roof can create interesting & unique shapes for the home’s exterior.

A split gable roof is a modern twist on the classic pitched style. This series of bold shapes creates the effect of a gabled roof from afar but offers a more dynamic feel, with bold outlines broken up with the flat extraction through the middle.

Our ‘Sunday 07’ Smart Design takes on this roof style with ease, each module is given a distinct personality and purpose, defining this home with strong architectural edges.

The height of your ceilings add a lot to the look and feel of your abode. Higher ceilings increase that sense of space and airiness – especially if you want a smaller footprint, a lower ceiling can make rooms easier to heat and feel cosier but will get hotter in summer.  So, it is a significant element to consider when building a new home. According to the Building Code of Australia, the standard ceiling height is 2.4 metres for habitable rooms, and 2.1 metres for non-habitable rooms (bathroom, laundry, etc).

At Archiblox, along with incorporating passive design techniques into all our homes, the typical ceiling heights are 2.7 metres for kitchen/living areas & 2.55 metres for other rooms in the home, including non-habitable spaces. However, we can build up to 3m + with an upgrade, depending on the type of home you’re looking for.
