After excelling in the 2026 HIA South West Housing Awards, MIRA Residential is demonstrating how modular housing can deliver award-winning design while significantly reducing construction timeframes.

The company’s custom build – located in Cowaramup – secured the crown for Lightweight Housing up to $700,000, as well as earning finalist honours in the Innovation in Housing and Lightweight Housing categories.

MIRA Residential Brand Manager Arielle Rylands said the client had envisioned a stylish contemporary family home which would complement the natural surroundings of her rural South West property.

“The client chose modular construction for its efficient build timeframe and design flexibility,” she said.

“Building offsite in a controlled environment offered a streamlined construction process while still allowing her to achieve a highly customised, architecturally considered home.”

The modular approach also appealed to the client because of its cost effectiveness and ability to accommodate future growth.

“The flexibility of modular design allows for additional modules to be incorporated as the client’s needs evolve and budget permits,” Ms Rylands said.

“The home and site layout were also thoughtfully considered to accommodate a future granny flat, providing opportunities for multi-generational living while ensuring the property could adapt to the family’s changing requirements over time.”

The dwelling was recognised for its thoughtful, architecturally inspired design, innovative use of lightweight steel-frame construction, and ability to balance contemporary aesthetics with comfort and functionality.
